Warrior General Games

What makes this fun is that the Eastern Conference is all sewn up, so the Week 16 inter-conference game is little more than a scrimmage (unless there's still home field to be decided.) For the Western Conference, though, these are make or break games. So the Eastern Conference gets to play kingmakers for the Western.

I think the East should take the long view and use the interconference games to rest players, or maybe play backups??? Except Nola, they should go all out.

I'd say it's between 6th and 10th for the Western play-off places, as LA and Austin have games that should be guaranteed wins, so the Moon Doggies will most likely come up short regardless... here's how the final games break down at the moment:

LA Sharks - opponents are Black Sox (1-13) and Bowdoin (0-14), both weaker, so Sharks should go 9-7;
Austin Outlaws - take on Phoenix (8-6) and Georgia (5-9), both are weaker, but Phoenix are placed higher - should go 9-7, but Phoenix could prevent that;
Phoenix Elves - take on Austin (7-7) and Destin (6-8) - weaker than Austin, and Destin are an even match, so they're likely to lose at least one, meaning 9-7 at best;
Seattle Grand Cru - take on Wala Wala (12-2) and Vermont (13-1), both of whom are stronger, and are likely to go 8-8... sorry, but I'm telling it like it is ;
Florida Free Ballers - I really can't call this one, as they have Putnam (10-4) and Manhattan (10-4), both match-ups being even, so they could go 10-6 and easily clinch a playoff spot, or they could just as easily go 8-8 and miss out.

Out of those, I'm gonna say Austin and Florida should make it, with LA likely hoping Phoenix lose to Destin, and Seattle coming up short.


Look out the Sharks are two wins away from making their first post season game.

Well we got the freeballers and i plan on going all out vs them since losses will change who we play.

yeah, i have tried to give my reserves as many starts as possible, and see the next two games as a perfect opportunity to do it again...

It is down to the wire in the Wild Wild West.

deleted to go back over it, and get it right this time

One week to go, conference play is complete.

2 Dallas Orangebloods <-- Clinched Playoff Berth and first-round home field
3 Wala Wala Drunken Shriners 0 <-- Clinched Playoff Berth and first-round home field
4 Putnam Co. Keg Tossers <-- Clinched Playoff Berth
5 Tucson Warriors <-- Clinched Playoff Berth
6 Phoenix Elves 2
7 Austin Outlaws 2
8 Los Angeles Sharks 2
9 Florida Free Ballers 2
10 Seattle Grand Cru 2
11 Orlando Moon Doggies X
12 Buffalo Blues X
13 Oakland Plunderers X
14 Green Bay Spartans X
15 Tulsa Giants X
16 Black Sox Ninjas X <-- Will be relegated

The Western Conference has 3 slots open and 5 teams in contention.

The only item of interest with the Eastern Conference would be that the Manhattan Massacre can get a first-round home game if and only if they win and the Reamstown Ramrods lose the next game. In any other scenario, Reamstown has the final first-round home game.

Atlanta and Waller have actually both clinched home field throughout.

Well, LA, Austin, Phoenix, Seattle, and Florida are ALL on 8-7 now... going by the last games, my predictions for the final games are:

Phoenix to WIN against Destin, going 9-7;
Austin to WIN against Georgia, going 9-7;
LA to WIN against Bowdoin, going 9-7;
Florida to LOSE against Manhattan, going 8-8;
Seattle to LOSE against Vermont, going 8-8.

So Phoenix to take 6th, Austin 7th, and LA 8th. Of those, Florida and Phoenix may go the other way:

If Phoenix LOSE and Florida LOSE, Austin take 6th, LA 7th, Phoenix 8th;
If Phoenix WIN and Florida WIN, Phoenix, Austin, and LA still take the same spots as my predictions;
If Phoenix LOSE and Florida WIN, Austin take 6th, LA 7th, Florida 8th.

So Florida are basically hoping that Destin just edge the Phoenix game, while hoping that they themselves can deliver that extra 10% more than Manhattan.

Down to the Wire!

Dont count out Seattle...theyve played some really good games this year...and we like Nola...have cemented our spot for the playoffs...we will probably try some different things this game...to experiment..so dont be suprised at all to see Seattle win...might want to figure out that scenario as well...

If the Wolves and Smilies win and Samurai lose it will put us all at 10-6.

Wolves beat Samurai but lost to the Smilies
Samurai beat the Smilies but lost to the Wolves
Smilies beat the Wolves but lost to Samurai

So, how will they determine the 6-8 seed? Would it be from points scored?
Will be interesting to see what happens if we all end up 10-6 after next game

Pts scored I believe....

Points scored is the tiebreaker after head-to-head.
