As expected, Antioch lost to Port Moody and Quebec defeated the Saskatchewan Limas. That locked in Quebec at #3 and Antioch at #4.
As you may recall, I tried to save myself some time by ignore the possibility of Westwood upsetting Lancaster. So what happened? Westwood upset Lancaster. Fuckers...
Meanwhile, Halifax defeated B.K. to finish 10-6, same as Lancaster. And Halifax owns the tie-breaker over Lancaster, so Halifax takes #5. And since I play for Halifax, I retract my "Fuckers" comment. Meanwhile Lancaster drops to #6 and stews in frustration.
Niagara needed to upset Gaffney just to stay alive. They didn't. They're out.
Lincoln's finale was against Listowel, and they lost as predicted. Hamilton had a toss-up against the Quebec City Dirtbags, but they lost bad, which did two things. One, it avoided a tie with Halifax that Hamilton would've won, so Halifax also owes a thank-you card to the Dirtbags. And two, it locked Hamilton into a tie with Lincoln, a tie-breaker that Lincoln owns. So Lincoln owes the Dirtbags a thank-you card as well. Lincoln finishes #7 and Hamilton finishes #8.

Listowel, Laval and Gaffney were already in a 3-way tie, and all 3 of them won as expected, so they stay in the same order: 2, 3, 4.
Tradewest and Ogopogo won their gimmes and locked themselves in at 5 and 6.
Quebec City was already locked in at #7 win-or-lose, thanks to owning all their potential tie-breakers.
At #9, the Saskatchewan Wolf Pack owned the tie-breaker with #8 Westwood but needed Westwood to lose to Lancaster in order to create that tie. Instead, Westwood upset Lancaster, prompting the Wolf Pack to collectively mutter "Fuckers..." under their breath. Westwood takes the 8-seed.
