Warrior General Games

DD destroyed another good team to hold onto the top spot for another week. It's possible there won't be a serious challenger until LOL in week 10, but DD has to run out of bonus tokens eventually. The undefeated and unusually silent Gunfighters will give it a try next.

In the rest of the rankings, LOL and a Train Wreck held off a herd of Buffalos to strengthen their hold on the #2 spot. ABD at #3 had a bye week but still picked up their second win of the season, no doubt disappointing several AAA teams. RRK remained at #4 but gained on ABD with a decisive victory over the defending APL champions. Kingdom Bowl hangover does it again. DeSWK climbs a spot to #5 with a hard-fought victory over the previous #5 team, SISW.

Nice slam of ABD.

Nice work Doc.

Good Work Doc!

Thanks. Very cool.

Oh lol I thought the first rankings were w/o preseason. That explains the ABD's position much better, and now the rankings appear to be about right.

About ≠ exactly

Of course, I should have seen this coming with your near-complete lack of knowledge concerning the English language.

Again, I said near-complete, which doesn't mean complete. I'll give you some credit. You are able to form words, and sometimes even coherent phrases.

And I live in fear every day that the LOLs might lose to the DDs when it matters. Every day.

Soap go own a team and then talk to me ...you are the biggest cheerleader in APL...You have no clue, I can not wait for DD to destroy you.

SheVegas why did you stop doing the elephant conference games?
