FF: Results Week 9

Week 9 was the lowest scoring week all year for our league.

This is the last week that POW is a bye. From now on, POW will have starters.


Kato(5.7) 98
USC(1) 82
In an amazing upset, Kato gave USC his second loss. USC had an uncharacteristically low score and Kato had the second highest score.

This came as a disappointment to the teams on the bubble for the playoffs. There may be three human run teams sitting out the playoffs this year.

POW(10) 0
Smash(8) 70
This is the last bye. I've just set POWs roster.


Expo(2) 75
Snap(9) 62
Expo edged past Snap it to take a share of number 1. This extended both of their streaks to 5 games. It has been a good five games for Expo and a sad five games for Snap It.

Drago(5.5) 73
Spies(3.3) 60 (GOTW)
DragonRun beat the Spies. There have been rumors that the Spies threw this game since she didn't start a defense. Although, I haven't discussed this with either party, I suspect that this was an oversight on her part.

XII(5.6) 86
PADS(3.4) 113
PADS has awoken.

7.8  XII   4-5-0  791.00 L1

With 4 games left in the season, let's take a quick look at the playoff situation.

First the top. While Expo has more points than USC, USC beat Expo head to head early this season. They don't meet again in the regular season so Expo is going to have to win this outright if she wants to take the top seed in the playoff tournament.

Now the bottom. I don't think that anyone is mathematically eliminated from the playoffs yet. Smashpanic and Xillers II are within striking distance. Even Snap It may still have a shot. (I'm not sure though. He would have to win out and Kato, XII and Smashpanic would have to have miserable season endings).

Now for next week.

USC(1.2) vs XII(7.8)
Both teams need a win (USC to stay at #1) but Xillers II need it badly to stay in playoff contention. Xillers II is one of USC's 2 losses but how many times can he pull an upset.

Drago(4.5) vs PADS(3)
Both teams off a win. Both teams would like another to pad their playoff chances.

Spies(4.4) vs Expo(1.1)
The Spies won the last encounter but now Expo is at the top of the league. Should be interesting.

Snap(9) vs POW(10) (GOTW)
This is the first week that POW will start players. That alone is worth watching but Snap It also needs a win to salvage something from this season. Good luck, Snap It.

Smash(7.7) vs Kato(4.6)
It seems like these two meet every week. Both teams are near the playoff cutoff and both want a win.

Good luck this week
