FF: Results Week 12

This week the league scored the highest number of points all season. With a total of 1012, we beat the previous high (wk10: 895) by more than a hundred points.

USC(1.1) 111
Snap(8.9)62
USC routed Snap It to keep hold of the number one spot. He is assured a bye in the playoffs since he has the tie breaker against the teams that could tie his record. Congrats. The loss puts Snap It out of playoff contention. Interestingly enough, this is the first time that Snap It had the lowest weakly point total.

Smash(8.8) 106
Spies(3.3) 120
The Spies narrowly beat SmashPanic. She did it in standard form, by playing all of her highest point scorers. SmashPanic however, would have won if he would have started any other quarter back. This loss also ends his playoff chances. The spies are still in the hunt for a playoff bye. If she beats PADS next week, she will take it (because they will have split their series and she will have the secondary tie breaker, total points).

Kato(5.5) 74
PADS(1.2) 131
PADS took Kato basically by having more high scoring players. He is still tied for first place but he needs a win next week to get the bye. This loss by Kato leaves the door opened a crack for Dragon Run. PADS extends the longest current winning streak to 4 games.

XII(5.6) 93
POW(10) 114
Xillers II was the first to lose to KatoBack and now he is the first to lose to POW. Fortunately for him, he is guaranteed a playoff spot because of the loss by all of the teams below him in the standings.


Drago(7) 93
Expo(3.4) 108
Expo's win is a hollow one since she is now out of the running for the playoff bye. The loss was pretty bad for Dragon Run. To make the playoffs, he needs to win next week and have KatoBack lose.

Here are the standings. They are now in the order of their tournament hopes.

Seed Rank Team  Record Points  Streak
1    1.1  USC   9-3-0  1157    W2
2    1.2  PADS  9-3-0  1178    W4
3    3.3  Spies 8-4-0  1202    W3
4    3.4  Expo  8-4-0  1189    W1
5    5.5  Kato  6-6-0  991     L2
6    5.6  XII   6-6-0  1127    L1

-    8.8  Smash 4-8-0  1069    L3
-    8.9  Snap  4-8-0  942     L1

This week:

POW(10) vs USC(1.1)
In the least consequential game of the week, POW and USC face off. USC is guaranteed a bye and POW can't make the playoffs. Xillers II will be routing for POW since he doesn't want to be the only team that lost to them.

Expo(3.4) vs Kato(5.5)
With a win, Expo will move into third place but with a loss, she will stay at 4th. Dragon Run needs a Kato loss here.

Smash(8.8) vs Drago(7)
SmashPanic could be the spoilers here. Dragon Run needs a win to have a hope at the post season.

XII(5.6) vs Snap It(8.9)
In the second least consequential game, Xillers II play for the possibility of fifth place. I guess this one is for pride.

PADS(1.2) vs Spies(3.3) (GOTW)
The winner of this game determines who gets the first round bye. That should be exciting.

Good luck this week
