Crunch time
The playoff picture is beginning to materialize. In the Martin Conference, two teams, Yaugdawg and THE DOMINATION SQUAD, have officially clinched and barring anything crazy happening in the final week, it looks like Mudslingers has the record and the points to make it into the top four as well.
That means two teams, Shack Attack and Midnight Riders, are vying for the final spot in the Martin Conference. If Shack Attack wins this week, she’s in, because she has a sizable lead over the Riders.
Things are a little tighter in the Franny Conference. No team has “officially” clinched a playoff berth, but Care Bears and Nicki’s Ninjas have both accumulated enough points that it would take take a miracle to knock them out of contention.
The final two spots are still up for grabs and five teams still have a shot at making the cut. Max Pain and The Little Tykes are both in the drivers’ seats, since if they win, they’re in, but Hosty’s Hogs, Team Smack Down and BIG BAD BULLIES could all steal the glory from one or both of those teams. The Bullies are the long shot, since she not only needs three out of the other four teams to lose, but she will have to score a lot of points to make up for her deficit.
This should be fun. Here are the standings through the second to last week of the regular season.
