League Office:
The E Team must swiftly and profusely apologize for a egregiously erroneous pronouncement in a previous post, in which it claimed Swat was the only team still in the hunt for a Big Dance invite. Both Wingo and the Invaders could still get in, albeit with little margin for error. The E Team's magic number to eliminate either of those worthy competitors is only one, but both are still alive mathematically for fourth place. My bad. Wishful thinking and poor math are the culprits there.
As if on cue, Wingo is putting it to the undermanned Swat, reaching 140 with his first three. And the Invaders are looking solid against the suddenly vulnerable P4, which gets two sub-30s and a DNP from Durant that will stand.
The E Team will force the Nitecaps, who get a 22 from Kemba, to put up a solid number, but the XMan still has many weapons in his array.
And just to make things interesting in the upper division, Ticket gets a 21 from his 'Sap and a premature ejection from George (12) and appears to be in serious trouble against Kontrol. Didn't see that coming.
Kinda like this two-day match period thing. Everything happens so quick. It's cool.
Point of clarification, now that you bring it up, when was it decided by the league that we would have these back-to-back two day Match periods after the All-star Break?
I'm not getting the cool factor, since LeBron was out with an illness yesterday, I most likely would have had him back for March 33 with a Monday start. Also would have been likely to have my Bradley back from injury too.
Like I said, I don't remember this ever being decided league wide?
Ticket made schedule for match 32-33 and lost both matches. It was meant to start playoffs sooner. Too many dubious DNPs in March and April.That is why our shorter season was voted on.
Happy Belated by the way Tom!
I know about cutting back from 40 to 35 matches, it's the back-to-back, two day matches I have never heard of?
League Office:
This needed no clarification. Anytime we can play a match, we play it, and that sometimes means using an early or late call. This one had neither. Granted, we have rarely if ever had a functional back-to-back pair of match periods that required only two days each, least not that I can remember. I'm sorry for squads that fared badly under the rather unusual circumstances, but I saw no objection from anyone going in.
League Office:
Two matches to play and this thing has just gotten plain weird.
The defending champion P4, the front runner nearly all season, suddenly loses three straight - by an average of 55 fp's - as the post-season nears, this time 256-178 to the Invaders.
Ticket goes public with his brash road map to riches, then posts consecutive 179's, the last in a 211-179 loss to Kontrol.
The E Team, which announced its own death after losing Love forever, rallies to win two straight, overtaking the Nitecaps with a 231-190 upset, clinching a Big Dance spot, and closing to within half a game of the second playoff spot.
And Wingo, refusing to die, victimizes Swat with a 221-191 win.
Once again, the League Office has mistakenly misrepresented reality. Swat, Invaders and Wingo, all 15-18, are all still alive for the last Big Dance ticket, but must win out and hope Dave cannot notch another win. In other words, the Nitecaps' magic number to clinch the last Dance spot is (1).
And we thought the drama ended when Hans won the pennant.
