Warrior General Games

Seedings were determined in two parts. First, I used a combination of NiborRis's RPI and Colley Matrix for the current Pro teams. For teams promoted to Pro, I used their total W-L record with 20-0 being the best possible. If a team's RPI and Colley Matrix was >300 the promoted Pro teams were seeded ahead of them (figuring a good promoting team was better than an average to below average Pro team). AAA teams get the shaft in this system. They were seeded last after the >300 teams based on total W-L record.

Those are my quick predictions for this part of the bracket!

I went with my knowledge of the teams and I looked at the squads performance last season to try to predict the winners of the 16 Bort 1st round matchups (I also used my instinct on some picks that were very close)

I plan on doing predictions and quick recaps of all the games of this tourney (Best in GLB, IMO) and I hope that you will like those!

Good season and good luck to all the teams in this region!


1. Cincinnati Shockers http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=750 (WPL)
32. South Georgia Growl http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=1384 (USA AAA)

I am sorry for the Growl, but the Shockers are the favorites to win it all this season, and I just hope that South Georgia can at least make it a game for the 1st half!

16. Mayan Prophecy http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=4410 (SAPL)
17. Ghost Riders in the Sky http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=2867 (APL)

That one should be interesting, both squads are good, I just give a slight edge on Mayan but I feel it could be one of the best 1st round games!

8. Washington Bullets http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=60 (USAPL)
25. Tallinn Tigers http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=4203 (EEPL)

Talinn are now in EEPL, but they face an established USAPL team who finished 10th in the best league of GLB last season! Should be interesting, but the Bullets will advance!

9. East St. Louis Tire Fires http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=997 (SEAPL)
24. San Francisco Demons http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=1293 (USAPL)

Another interesting game in the horizon here, as one of the best SEAPL teams face a newcomer in USAPL! But I know ESL (since I followed SEAPL a lot in the last 2 seasons) and I know they will pass through this round!

4. Indianapolis Gurupies http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=1261 (USAPL)
29. E-City Mercenaries http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=265 (WEPL)

Gurupies were 12-4 in USAPL, E-City were 6-10 in WEPL! I feel a lopsided affair!

13. Durham Ice Odyssey http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=3444 (CPL)
20. Vladivostok Voodoo http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=5631 (EEPL)

This one is tough, I know on paper Durham has the advantage, but I have that kind of feeling that an upset will happen there!

5. Edinburgh Black Knights http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=3181 (WPL)
28. Sevilla Naranjas http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=1916 (WEPL)

Should not be a close game here! Edinburgh will pass to the 2nd round IMO!

12. Waikikamukau Wop Wops http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=3016 (SAPL)
21. African Fever http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=5285 (APL)

An established SAPL team vs a newcomer in APL, I dont think it will be a close game!

2. Washington Wolfpack http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=1196 (USAPL)
31. Easter Island Head Hunters http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=713 (OCE AAA)

Nothing to say on this one, pass to GO and collect your 2nd round ticket, Wolfpack!

15. Guadalcanal Gunners http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=2964 (OPL)
18. C-Town Hoodlums http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=2071 (EEPL)

15 vs 18 = (Majority of the time) A good contest! Why I have a feeling that it wont be as close as normally for a 15 vs 18 matchup!

7. Paris Musketeers http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=280 (WEPL)
26. Medellin Slashers http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=4452 (SAPL)

An established WEPL team vs a newcomer from SAPL! I think it will be a good game, but I dont see the Musketeers losing this one!

10. Black Forest Mercenaries http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=609 (WPL)
23. Laredo Lesbians http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=1128 (USAPL)

This one will be close, Laredo is maybe a newcomer in USAPL, but I have a feeling they will give a tough matchup to BFM, but I dont see them losing this one!

3. Honolulu Hurricane Warriors http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=1509 (WPL)
30. Olden Swillers http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=4852 (OPL)

See the Wolfpack game!

14. Minsk Ninjas http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=2054 (EEPL)
19. Stockholm Meatballs http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=311 (WEPL)

Minsk had a better record and a better SOS in S10, they played Stuttgart pretty well, I see them as a contender for the EEPL title, so they should win this!

6. Manila Warlords http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=465 (WPL)
27. Rosario Fire http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=485 (SAPL)

Rosario had a down season last year, but I have played vs Manilla and I can tell you that they deserve their spot in the WPL! Manilla should win, hoping that it can be a good game!

11. Ketchikan Kamper Adventure Rentals http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=1161 (USAPL)
22. Port Harcourt Playmakers http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=5149 (APL)

Ketchikan had a great rookie season in USAPL, nearly beating HHW in the 1st round! They should take care of business here

Thanks guys for throwing this all together. As a representative of your #31 seed Head Hunters, I hope we can make it a close game. The game to me doesn't look like it will be a blowout, but we will do what we can to make it as close to a good game as we can.

Yeah, I hope for you guys that it will be interesting, but you are facing the 9th best squad in the GLB's Top Pro Teams - Season 10 << Final Edition >> list so logic goes there!

GL for Season 11 and for this tourney!

Thanks hazy for putting this together, and I appreciate the quick predictions pat.

Ketchikan wuz robbed and pat's predictions are horrible as usual. Ketchikan will be glad to take another whack at HHW though. Thank you, that is all.

Lava124 is an awesome guy, I hate that we end up facing them in the first round, but it's how the cards got shuffled.

#23 Lesbians vs. #10 B.F.M.

we got a good draw IMO... if you gotta play a WL team, play the crappy one who IMO shouldn't be there

win the second round matchup, which is doable, then rematch washington or maybe just play them once depending on when that one falls...

we'll see...

Cincinnati going for their 3RD consecutive Hazy's tournament title in S11.

Yup... Lava is a great dude. He was showing where we played you guys in Season 7... and basically, if we lose by that much again.. . I'm going to scream.

Good luck to you guys...not like you need it though.

Shockers/Wolfpack in the same bracket. Guess we'll have one new team in the final four at least.

Not too late to move the Wolfpack to Satchmo?

offer sent from Swillers to Honolulu for Day 3
