Server now running I believe, and commands set in place. We are now looking at running this one-off early in the new year.



JR finished two game 3's this week that tragically saw him fall out of bracket play, and a one-game playoff between Jumbo and Blast determined the Eastern Conference's brackets as well.

Standings

Eastern Conference
1. Jumbobone19 (WSH) (2-0)
2. TnlAstatine (EDM) (2-1)
3. Blastmeaway (COL) (0-2) (Leads vs Zoone16 1-0)
4. Zoone16 (TBL) (0-1) (Trails vs Blastmeaway 0-1)

Western Conference + SMJHL (Also Ace)
1. Ace (BOS) (2-0)
2. SlashACM (CHI) (1-1)
3. JR95 (STL) (0-2)
4. .bojo (CAR) (0-0) (Forfeit)

-----------------------

Semi-finals
Jumbobone19 vs SlashACM
Ace vs TnlAstatine

Final Standings
5. Blastmeaway
6. JR95
7. Zoone16
8. .bojo

Outlook

The brackets are set and the playoffs have begun. Jumbobone19 has been on a roll, but Ace and Slash are also strong contenders to look out for, as some were saying that the Western Conference was stacked. We will have to wait and see the results of the cross-overs.

Scores

December 20th
JR95 over SlashACM 6-2 (Leads 1-0)
SlashACM over JR95 3-2 (Tied 1-1)

December 22nd
SlashACM over JR95 2-1 (Wins 2-1)
Ace over JR95 4-3 (Wins 2-1)

December 27th
Jumbobone19 over Blastmeaway 5-2 (Wins 1-0)



After failing to play more critical games, teams have been eliminated, and now bracket play begins.


Standings

Eastern Conference
1. Team Never Lucky (1-0)
2. Newfoundlads (0-1)
3. FA East (0-0)
4. shoot it down my throat (0-0) (Forfeit)

Western Conference
1. Anchorage (2-0)
2. Raptors (0-1)
3. FA West (0-1) (Forfeit)

-----------------------

Semi-finals
Team Never Lucky vs Raptors
Anchorage vs Newfoundlads

Final Standings
5. FA East
6. FA West
7. shoot it down my throat

Outlook

It's too close to call. Team Never Lucky is certainly a favorite, as is Anchorage due to their group play, but the teams they're playing and how competitive their groups were are totally up for debate.


Scores

No games were played this week.

Final Standings
1. TheWoZy

5. Taxman100
6. TnlAstatine


Outlook

Wozy beat the strongest looking competitor to win the title after beating the other groups top dog, not to mention his earlier loss in group play to Bojo. I couldn't imagine a closer final.
