Elite Division

Colonial's Revenge stopped the red-hot Central Intelligence in a thriller game that went down to the last shot! For those there, it rivaled the March Madness nail-biters we are all enjoying now! Harry Lee (League MVP) earned the title with his tenacious defense!

MVP Harry Lee!

Colonial's Revenge!

Top 10 season scorers for the division:

30+ A

Squires notched their second championship by taking down the previously undefeated Woodchippers behind coach Sed "Superman" Winston and his band of powerful squires! Chipping at wood generally works, but against the Man of Steel, it wasn't going to cut it!

MVP Scott Davis!

Superman!

Squires!

Top 10 season scorers for the division:

30+ B

Square One showed their dominance in the B Division, as they picked apart a strong Chicken Express for a 14-point win. They were led by the unstoppable Jared Fowler who simply poured in 27 points!

MVP Jared Fowler!

Square One!

30+ C

The Farmers did not hold back against Cordia Heat, as they dominated the finals with a 20+ margin of victory. They had no answer to Clay Trivett, who scored at will, finishing with a whopping 33 points!

MVP Clay!

Farmers!

Top 10 season scorers for the division:

40+ A

Z2 did not squander their opportunity, as thy took big advantage of the HD Chasers who were without their seasoned stud, Lance Posey! It may not have mattered, as Z2 was on fire all game, but one has to wonder! Lance waited for his chance to win the coveted 40+ A division, particularly since his nemesis, the Elders were not there to thwart him! Aaron McDade led the way with 18.

MVP Aaron!

Z2!

Top 10 season scorers for the division:

40+ B

Blue Chips powered past the seasoned War Dogs, to take the 40+ B crown. They had multiple scoring threats, including 3 in double-digits, as the War Dogs could not defend all three! Bill Davis got the MVP nod, while Charles Patrick (16 points) and coach Darnell Williams (10 points) helped lead the attack!

MVP Davis!

Blue Chips!

Top 10 season scorers for the division:

40+ C

Another 3-player attack, and the InnKeepers didn't disappoint their guests by shuttering the hopes and dreams of the Bad Hombres! Dave Burger was the high scorer at 19 points, while Mike Cassidy had 14 and Damon Smith finished with 11.

MVP John Dixon!

InnKeepers!

Semis Complete

Semis Complete - Finals are set for the Showdown!

FanCam!

She likes what she sees!

"Daddy, please score for me!"

"Anything for my baby!"

Upset City!

Central Intelligence went on to take down the mighty Repeat Offenders in a huge upset!

Tim tries in vain!

Is "Uninspired Play" too weak a description?!"

"Oh yeah!"

Rock on to the Finals!

Predictions!

Elite: With Repeat Offenders bounced, and Central Intelligence riding high, you gotta pick them as slight favorites over the powerful Colonial's Revenge!

30+ A: Woodchippers kept their perfect season going, but now it's the Finals and the Squires are in town! Who can defeat Sedrick Superman and his team?! Squires win!

Sed!

30+ B: HAVOC was upset bigtime by Chicken Express, and now faces the HOT Square One! We gotta go with Square One, even thought CE is playing with tons of passion! This could be another upset, though!

30+ C: Cordia Heat vs. Farmers! But with the Farmers blowing out Volume Integration, we can't pick CH to win, sorry!

40+ A: As predicted, it's Z2 vs. HD Chasers! We think it's HD's time (See Lance's league-leading 32 point effort!), after all their previous defeats in the Finals!

40+ B: Also hotly contested! War Dogs vs. Blue Chips! We are NOT calling this game...too close!

40+ C: Bad Hombres are looking "BadAss", but the Innkeepers are powerful when they show up! We will demure on this, saying BH wins IF Innkeeper studs are not available, but win if they are - we can't lose this bet!

Top Scorers of the Week!

Other Action!

Flying high to victory!

"Back to back" championships not in the cards for RepeatOffenders!

Ryan going for the perfect season!

Smiling in defeat!

Quarterfinals Action!

The playoffs started with a bang, check out the action!

Good luck to those moving on to the Semis - here are some key questions that will be answered shortly!

Elite: Will #1 Elite seed Repeat Offenders cruise to another championship?
Or will Mighty Men, Central Intelligence, or Colonial's Revenge pull off an upset?
30+ A: Woodchippers have the perfect 7-0 record, but Squires wait in the wings! Elders and Uncle Ji are longshots! Who will win 30+A?
30+ B: HAVOC is perfect here, but look out, Square One is HOT! Chicken Express and Vorsprung are the dark horses!
30+ C: Cordia Heat has the inside track, but you can't count out Killers, Farmers, or Volume Integration!
40+ A: Wow, Z2, Freemen, HD Chasers! Who knows! HoundDogs are down but not out!
40+ B: Also hotly contested! War Dogs playing extremely well! S. Flyers too! Team Glauser and Blue Chips are no slouches!
40+ C: Again, too close to call! Dealers are hungry! Bus so are Bad Hombres and Barnsters! And the newcomer Innkeepers have shown flashes of brilliance!
