2 Chesapeake Sea Serpents 12-1-0
3 London Monarchs 12-1-0
4 Sainte-Foy Nordiques 3.0 11-2-0
5 Axis: Pinoy All Stars 3 10-3-0
6 D-Town Bushwalkers 8-5-0
7 Nashville Isotopes 8-5-0
8 West Africa Warriors 7-6-0
The top 8 teams in the Eastern Conference are pretty much guaranteed, the only question still remaining is where teams are seeded.
1. The Goldf Coast Crocs have sewn up the first seed. With only London to face, even if they loose the game they will be 15-1 and would hold the tie-breaker against Chesapeake.
2. Chesapeake holds the tiebreaker against London, so if they loose to Axis: Pinoy, which is a distinct possibility, they will still need London to loose to Gold Coast to maintain 2nd seed. If they manage to beat Pinoy, they will lock in the 2nd seed. 3rd is the worst they can do.
3. London, has at least the 4rd seed, and can move up to 2nd seed if Chesapeake looses to Pinoy, and they win out. Winning out is going to be tough, as they have Sainte-Foy, and Gold Coast to face. If they loose to Sainte-Foy, they will be 4th, if they beat Sainte-Foy, they will have at least 3rd seed, but will have to beat Gold Coast to have a chance at 2rd seed(With a Chesapeake Loss).
4. Sainte-Foy Controls it's own destiny as far as making 3rd Seed, as they only have to beat London to go 14-2 with a tie breaker Win for 2nd. If they loose to London, they will loose the tiebreaker, even if London is beaten by Gold Coast. They also hold the tie breaker against Axis: Pinoy.
5. Axis: Pinoy could possibly win out by defeating Chesapeake, but it won't move them up past 5th, as every team above them either has more wins, or owns a tiebreaker. So they are a lock in 5th seed, and face either Sainte-Foy, or London, in the first round of the playoffs.
6-8 assuming no upsets.
6. The D-Town Bushwhackers hold their own destiny, and have the inside track to the 6th seed. They just need to beat West Africa to sew it up. Even if they loose to West Africa, if they loose to West Africa, Nashville will likely leap frog them to 6th.
7. The Nashville Isotopes just need to take care of business, and even with an expected loss against Sainte-Foy, they can gain the 6th seed with a D-Town loss to West Africa.
8. West Africa will at least get the 8th seed as they hold the tie breakers against Rammstein and Honolulu. They have an expected loss against Chesapeake, so they best they will likely do is 9-7, if they can beat D-Town. If they do manage to beat D-Town and there are no upsets in the last 3 games, they could get the 7th seed..
