It's make or break time in Elephant Conference. Rundu's loss last week all but killed its chances at a playoff bid, unless the unlikeliest of unlikelies occurs in the final 3 games.

Current standings

1. E'ci
2. MaWRACK!!
3. Wisconsin
4. Wachootoo
5. The Chad
6. Happy Hour
7. Uganda
8. Eazy Co.

9. Seychelles
10. Cairo

E'ci (13-0) v. Chad (9-4) -- With a win, E'ci clinches home field advantage throughout the playoffs. That will happen, dropping Chad to 9 - 5.

MaWRACK!! (11 - 2) v. Ivory Coast (1 - 12) -- MaWRACK!! MaWRACK!! easily wins this game and stays on course for two home playoff games. Ivory Coast seals the demotion to the A Leagues.

Wisconsin (10 - 3) v. Uganda (8-5) -- Wisconsin keeps plugging along and gets the victory. Uganda drops to 8 - 6, and needs some help from Seychelles in beating Cairo to stay alive.

Wachootoo (9 - 4) v. Rundu (5 - 8) -- Wachootoo pays back Rundu for their loss in week 13, ending the Rhinos hopes of a move up, playoff role this season. Wachootoo is looking for help from E'ci to beat Wisconsin next week and seal up the White Bats' shot at the #3 seed.

Happy Hour (8 - 5) v. Free For All (4 - 9) -- FFA beats the degenerate child alcoholics of Happy Hour. Once full of potential for a playoff berth, HH needs help from all quarters to keep its shot at an 8 - 8 season and potential playoff spot. (E'ci would love nothing better than to have to face HH at home in back to back weeks, but who is looking ahead? Not us, say the FAlkruns.)

Eazy Co (6 - 7) v. Shawnee (3 - 10) -- Eazy Co improves its record to 7 -7 and its shot at a playoff invitation. However, their road to the championship requires victories over Wachootoo (highly unlikely) and Chad (just unlikely).

Seychelles (6 - 7) v. Cairo (6- 7) -- This is the GotW. The Roosters (often mutilated, but never killed) still have to face the o's in week 15, which is a highly likely loss. Cairo faces an easier route to the playoffs, which gets much easier with a win over Seychelles.

Ethiopia (3 - 10) v. Springfield (1 - 12) -- Ethiopia.

Cairo has the beefier defense, especially in the middle. They also enjoy an almost 30 point chemistry advantage.

Cairo, though, has to win out to make the playoffs. With a win here, a win and your in scenario develops with the final game against Uganda. Roosters need 8 wins, everyone else needs 9.

If everyone finishes 8-8, we better set aside some of the beastial debauchary loot of playing HH at home in the playoffs for all the child abuse lawsuits that will follow.

Or we could invite the old school S3 peeps for hookers and blow.

We're looking forward to the Cairo game. Should be epic.

With Happy Hour going slow build (or whatever they decided to do), they'll end up 8-8 and Seychelles gets the 8 seed via tiebreaker.

Here's to keeping E'ci under 100 in the first round

Hookers and blow? Tanner will be there. And E'ci you won't lose to HH on purpose so they get the last playoff spot and screw over another team.

I'm sure it will be. Best of luck to you guys.
It sucks that we played HH before they went slowbuild, and lost. So an 8-8 record isn't going to get us in to the playoffs. Should be interesting to see things develop though.

That's not what Denman was saying; HH has 8 wins already, and a h2h over Cairo. There's a scenario whereby they lose 1200-0 over the next three games and still get in.

Good luck to you guys also. We had the same thing happen playing FFA before they went CPU. Should be a very interesting last couple of games!!

I know he wasn't saying you were going to lose to them on purpose. I was just jokingly suggesting it. Although I didn't know it was possible that they could still sneak into the playoffs regardless.

A-hah, I do that sometimes. I thought you were keying on Denman mentioning they could make it in.

Hookers and blow are one step closer!

Cairo eliminated the Roosters this week.**

With Uganda upsetting the Cowboys, this sets up a nice final game between the Mounties and Cairo. As long as E'ci takes care of business tomorrow, both Uganda and Wisconin will be have 10 wins going into the last game. Since Uganda just won the tiebreaker they can host a playoff game!

If Uganda beats Cairo, home playoff game, and we get to play HH! Or Cairo can sneak into the 8th seed and help Wisconsin keep the 4th spot.

I wonder if we could crack 1.5 mil in concessions from a home playoff game against HH.

**Could still pull off a mammoth upset over Marawk to make it. But then I'd have to sell my tickets to the MaRAWKolpyse.

Keep your tix, otherwise you will not be ready. We are not taking this game lightly. As long as we don't overthink ourselves, we will be fine.

It is too bad that HH will make the playoffs. I'm not bitter grapes about whoever plays them first as it probably wouldn't affect the outcome of the game, but it is unfortunate.
