With only one week left in the regular season, the Spring playoff picture is still a little blurry. In the A Division, the defending champs “Return of the Mutants” sit atop the field and have claimed a spot in the postseason. With a win, the Pinfidels and Usual Suspects are assured a spot as well. However, a win by the Usual Suspects, at home, means a loss for the 4th place Powerballers. This opens the doors for the Terrorwrists, also at home, to claim the fourth playoff spot. The bottom three teams in the standings are all poised to play spoiler in the last week of competition.
Over in the Monday Night B Division, the picture is only slightly sharper. The Damned Refugees sit on top and are assured a playoff spot. The Commonauts, currently in 2nd, are also assured a playoff spot due to their high point total, but their final standing hinges on the outcome of the upcoming match, at home, against the 4th place Cartel. While a big loss by Special When Lit combined with a BIG win by the 2 for 1er’s and a win by the Cartel would knock the High Dive team out of the playoffs, this is not likely, so expect them to finish 2nd or 3rd. It is the current 4th and 5th place teams that are fighting for their lives this last match. If the Cartel win, then they are in. However, a loss and a win by McKenna’s sends the Cartel packing and the 2 for 1er’s to the playoffs.
On Tuesday night, the top three teams are assured a playoff spot. Newcomers Factory of Sadness remain undefeated and Balls of Steel have only suffered one loss this season. Pinball Monster (formerly Dr. Teeth) are in third with only two losses. Barring a complete collapse in the final match, it looks as though the Compadres are going to claim the fourth playoff spot. Nevertheless, the Satel-lite weights are still in the hunt, however, and a big win by them combined with a big loss by the Commonwealth team will give them the final spot.
Remember, B Division playoffs start the week immediately following the final regular season game. A Division will have a week off. Good luck!
