Warrior General Games

Alpha Conference
1 Warsaw Warriors 14-0-0

Next opponents: #6 Don Cossacks, #3 Sedlec Mortared Monks

Outlook: Warsaw is in the driver's seat on the road to homefield advantage. All they have to do is beat that one team. Yeah, that one.

Possible seeding: #1 (win over Sedlec / ties Sedlec & win over Don / loss to Sedlec & win over Don & wins three-way tiebreaker), #2 (multiple scenarios), #3 (loses both / loss to Sedlec & win over Don & loses three-way tiebreaker)

2 Bratislava Lambeau Leapers 13-1-0

Next opponents: Ufa Tycoons, Gdansk Donkey Punchers

Outlook: It's all out of Bratislava's hands at this point. The best thing they can do is run up the score... and avoid the Donkey Punch, or we'll never hear the end of it.

Possible seeding: #1 (wins both & Warsaw loses both or loses and ties / Warsaw loses to Sedlec & Bratislava wins three-way tiebreaker), #2 (Warsaw wins over Sedlec / Warsaw loses to Sedlec & Bratislava splits three-way tiebreaker), #3 (Warsaw loses to Sedlec & Bratislava loses three-way tiebreaker)

3 Sedlec Mortared Monks 13-1-0

Next opponents: Gdansk Donkey Punchers, #1 Warsaw Warriors

Outlook: Sedlec will play at home in the first round, but they'll need to defeat Warsaw to have any chance at a second home playoff game. But first, the Donkey Punchers!

Possible seeding: #1 (win over Warsaw & Warsaw wins over Don & Sedlec wins three-way tiebreaker), #2 (win over Warsaw & Warsaw wins over Don & Sedlec splits three-way tiebreaker / win over Warsaw & Warsaw ties or loses to Don), #3 (loses / win over Warsaw & Warsaw wins over Don & Sedlec loses three-way tiebreaker)

4 Allied Sack Exchange 11-3-0

Next opponents: Krakow Buzzards CPU, TV Sitcom All-Stars

Outlook: Yeah, ASE has pretty much sown up the 4th seed, thanks to their consecutive one-point victories over the Charioteers and the Cossacks.

Possible seeding: #4 (multiple scenarios), #5 (yeah, right), #6 (if pigs fly)

5 Constantinople Charioteers 10-4-0

Next opponents: Istanbul Raging Bulls, #8 St. Petersburg Locksmiths

Outlook: Barring a St. Petersburg upset (or an ASE disaster), the Charioteers will be heading to the Atomic Fallout Arena to play on Day 33. They hold the tiebreaker over the Cossacks.

Possible seeding: #4 (ASE goes CPU), #5 (multiple scenarios), #6 (lose to St. Petersburg & Don wins over Warsaw / ASE loses and GLB doesn't implode)

6 Don Cossacks 10-4-0

Next opponents: #1 Warsaw Warriors, Istanbul Raging Bulls

Outlook: There is a scenario where the Cossacks defeat the Warriors today and end up playing them again in the first round. To be fair, there also is a scenario where the Cossacks lose to the Warriors today and end up playing them again in the first round. Neither one is likely.

Possible seeding: #4 (not bloody likely), #5 (win over Warsaw & Constantinople loses to St. Petersburg), #6 (multiple scenarios)

7 Vienna Bulldogs 8-6-0

Next opponents: Lake Elsinore Tigers, Ufa Tycoons

Outlook: The Bulldogs defeated both St. Petersburg and Zagreb earlier this season. Given the level of competition they will face in their final two games, you can book Vienna as the #7 seed.

Possible seeding: #6 (it's Istanbul -- not Constantinople), #7 (multiple scenarios), #8 (goes CPU & either St. Petersburg or Zagreb lose both), out (look! a unicorn!)

8 St. Petersburg Locksmiths 8-6-0

Next opponents: Zagreb Brutes, #5 Constantinople Charioteers

Outlook: Consider today's game against Zagreb as a play-in game: lose, and the Locksmiths will stay home this postseason. And I don't mean in the good way.

Possible seeding: #7 (Vienna "goes slowbuild"), #8 (win over Zagreb / tie with Zagreb & win over Constantinople or win tiebreaker), out (lose to Zagreb / tie with Zagreb & lose to Constantinople & lose tiebreaker)

Zagreb Brutes 7-7-0

Next opponents: #8 St. Petersburg Locksmiths, Krakow Buzzards CPU

Outlook: See entry: Locksmiths, St. Petersburg.

Possible seeding: #8 (win over St. Petersburg / tie with St. Petersburg & St. Petersburg loses to Constantinople & Zagreb wins tiebreaker), out (lose to St. Petersburg / tie with St. Petersburg & St. Petersburg loses to Constantinople & Zagreb loses tiebreaker)

Eliminated from postseason:
Lake Elsinore Tigers 6-8-0
Sioux City Blackwolves 4-10-0
Krakow Buzzards CPU 4-10-0
Istanbul Raging Bulls 3-11-0
Ufa Tycoons 2-12-0
Gdansk Donkey Punchers 1-13-0
TV Sitcom All-Stars 1-13-0

Zeta Conference
1 Dublin Dark Raiders 14-0-0

Next opponents: Riga Reapers CPU, Moldova Marauders

Outlook: Lose every preseason game, but win every regular season game. Where have I seen that before?

Possible seeding: #1 (all reasonable scenarios), #2 (loses both & Ukraine wins both & Megan Fox shows up at my doorstep. Naked.)

2 Ukraine Incubi 13-1-0

Next opponents: Pavilosta Seawolves, Riga Reapers CPU

Outlook: Technically speaking, the Incubi could claim the #1 seed, but that's as likely as, well...

Possible seeding: #1 (wins both & Dublin loses both & Megan Fox rebuilds the transmission in my 1987 Toyota MR2. Naked.), #2 (all reasonable scenarios)

3 Belarus Death Machine 11-3-0

Next opponents: Scottish Claymores, #6 The Big Red Machine

Outlook: If the Death Machine wants to hold onto the #3 seed, they'll have to hold off the other Machine that plays in Zeta -- the Big Red one.

Possible seeding: #3 (win both, multiple scenarios), #4 (lose to Red Machine, multiple scenarios), #5 (lose both, multiple scenarios)

4 Moscow Panthers 11-3-0

Next opponents: Odessa Permian Panthers, Scottish Claymores

Outlook: The plain Panthers are likely to win out, but Moscow already lost to Belarus, so they'll need some outside help to overtake the Death Machine.

Possible seeding: #3 (wins both & Belarus loses / wins & Belarus loses both), #4 (Belarus wins both / multiple scenarios), #5 (Dreamcast II -- now in stores!)

5 Budapest Eagles 10-4-0

Next opponents: Donetsk Mob CPU, #8 Transylvania Horror

Outlook: I'd write more if I didn't have a big game coming up... and if I cared about Zeta teams.

Possible seeding: #3 (no), #4 (not likely), #5 (yes), #6 (technically possible), #7 (what's that large, glowing, saucer-like object in my backyard?)

6(tie) The Big Red Machine 9-5-0

Next opponents: #6 Destin Flames, #3 Belarus Death Machine

Outlook: The Destin game means more than the Belarus game in the macroview, only because there's no way the Death Machine will lose to the Claymores.

Possible seeding: #3 (wins both & Belarus loses both & Moscow loses both & Budapest loses both & the Bugs forum crashes), #4 (same as #3 scenario minus a team), #5 (same as #3 scenario minus two teams), #6 (win over Destin, multiple scenarios), #7 (lose to Destin)

6(tie) Destin Flames 9-5-0

Next opponents: #6 The Big Red Machine, Donetsk Mob CPU

Outlook: This one's simple, as long as you ignore all of the unlikely possibilities.

Possible seeding: #3 (I win the next season of "American Idol"), #4 (I win the next season of "Dancing With The Stars"), #5 (I win the next episode of "Jeopardy"), #6 (win over Red Machine or tie & win tiebreaker), #7 (lose to Red Machine or tie & lose tiebreaker)

8 Transylvania Horror 7-7-0

Next opponents: Warsaw Mafia, #5 Budapest Eagles

Outlook: Transylvania can't move up, and they'd have to put in some serious effort into moving down.

Possible seeding: #8 (win), out (lose both & Ukraine goes CPU yesterday)

Pavilosta Seawolves 6-8-0

Next opponents: #2 Ukraine Incubi, Warsaw Mafia

Outlook: Sorry.

Possible seeding: #8 (recruit a new team this morning), out (8 ball sez "most likely")

Eliminated from postseason:
Odessa Permian Panthers 5-9-0
Donetsk Mob CPU 5-9-0
Riga Reapers CPU 4-10-0
Scottish Claymores 3-11-0
Moldova Marauders 1-13-0
Transylvania Impalers 1-13-0
Warsaw Mafia 0-14-0

You should see the ones I did for Canada A#6 -- these were a piece of cake in comparison.

How did you get the point total? Did you just add up our scores, or is there an easier way?

There's a much easier way. Go to the league (or conference) home page, click on the league (or conference) team stats link, and then click on the Blocking/Other tab. Points Scored is the eighth column.

I can't tell you how much time I saved once I figured that out.

Next Game: 05/25/2009 at Sedlec Mortared Monks (in -0:02:13)

Looks like OT to me.

Good luck to all the playoff teams!

Yer good write up dude cheers for the effort
