Preview: Regular Season Finale

As half-expected, the Slackers had to forfeit to the JoSox this week. This is why the potential tiebreaker game was set up for Saturday--so the Slackers could field a full team for the game that mattered. We will have one tiebreaker game. Your up-to-date Tournament scenarios: A: If JoSox win, they play Slackers on Saturday to determine the #1 Seed, leaving Nomads as #3 and Trojans #4 (regardless of what happens in the Nomads-Bezzig & Lezzig game). B: If Nomads lose and Trojans win, then Nomads-Trojans play a tiebreaker for #3/4. C: If Nomads & Trojans win, Nomads-JoSox play a tiebreaker for #2/3. 10:00 AM Slackers "0" @ "10" JoSox Forfeit Slackers finish 6-2 JoSox are 5-2 with one to play 11:30 AM Trojans @ JoSox (Umped by Bezzig & Lezzig) Trojans 3-4 JoSox 5-2 1:00 PM Nomads @ Bezzig & Lezzig (Umped by Trojans) Nomads 4-3 Bezzig 0-7 Note: We could not adjust the schedule, due to the late Slackers forfeit. The Tournament is next Friday, August 15, and the All-Star Game is on Saturday, August 16.

I Can See Clearly Now...Sorta

Week 6 Recap. Tighty Whitey to start, more details to follow. (If you have stats, pics or something else from your game that you'd like to have included, please email it to me & I'll work it in.) The Tourney picture is finally coming into focus. Friday, August 1: 10:00 AM: Bezzig & Lezzig 7 @ 11 Slackers 11:30 AM: Nomads 13 @ 12 Slackers (Jordan Cup Final) 1:00 PM: Trojans 10 @ 12 Nomads Standings with one week left in the regular season: 1. Slackers (6-1) Status: Cannot finish below 2nd. Best Case: If they beat JoSox next week, they're the #1 Seed. Worst Case: Lose to JoSox; play JoSox for a #1/2 tiebreaker. 2. JoSox (4-2) Status: Can still finish between #1 & #4. Best Case: Beat Slackers & Trojans next week, then play tiebreaker vs Slackers for #1. Worst Case: Lose to Slackers & Trojans (+Nomads loss); play tiebreaker vs Trojans and Nomads for #2/3/4.* 3. Nomads (4-3) Status: Can finish between #2 & #4. Best Case: #2 Seed with win vs Bezzig & Lezzig + JoSox losses to Slackers & Trojans. Worst Case: Lose to Bezzig + Trojans win, play Trojans for #3/4. 4. Trojans (3-4) Status: Can finish between #2 & #4. Best Case: Beat JoSox + Nomads loss + JoSox loss to Slackers; play Nomads and JoSox for #2/3/4.* Worst Case: Lose to JoSox, #4 Seed. 5. Bezzig & Lezzig (0-7) Status: Locked in at #5 Seed. 6. The Beats Status: Just seeing if you're paying attention. Still with me? * This is the Doomsday Scenario, a three-team mini-tourney. Nomads-Trojans would play on Friday at 2:30, with the winner playing the JoSox on Saturday, followed by the loser playing JoSox right after that. Repeat until a team wins two games (that team is #2). The two other teams play again, with the winner #3 and the loser #4. I don't even want to think about this.
