What an incredible week this one was with some massive games and some bizarre, or not, ones. Were the entire Guppy team tanking for draft picks or did they all have a party together and smoke some crack before setting their lineups? Whatever it was they had some floggings this week. None more extreme than Black Label Society (#18 in world) having his PG play C, his C play PG and the potential league MVP hardly play at all. which let the VictoriaMages steal this win.

Match of the Round
The game of the round was clearly Pancakes with Jam and Cream vs. Baxter Bogans 109 - 121 which I thought would determine second spot but now may determine the minor premier. What a game. With a minute and 7 seconds to go the Bogans were up by 6 when a certain well known player in this league from last season Plínio Couto Costa decided that this one wasn't over. He scores. He is fouled and scores again. He makes the great pass to tie the game. Ok he missed the game winner on the buzzer but he got the Pancakes to OT. Sadly the Pancakes had only dressed 6 players and when Efinger and Kuman fouled out the game turned into a farce and a lucky fan got the unusual chance to play for an ABBL team. PCC was left with 53 points but no win.

In the East the supposed match of the round the battle betwen the Chelsea Seagulls vs. SASTROOPERS turned into an ugly 45 - 81 blowout. Apparently having 2 of your 5 starters out injured and another in bad GS doesn't make for a well functioning team.

In the South a team even more decimated by injuries HomeAxis lost their top spot to the Titans when they couldn't scramble the Egg...or was it another part of the Guppy plan to have this man playing 48 minutes in the massive match?

But that was ok, he had a quality backup at the PF position.

Something smells fishy in Guppyland.

One week to go and with the Guppies in the tank it looks like the Calamari can take their second championship in a row. Go Calmari!

Well in the end it wasn't even close as the Calamari ran out easy winners of Season Four of the Fishbowl. At the start of the season they thought they had no chance given the amazing top end of Kevin, the history of victory for the Sharks and the recent addiditions to the Guppies. However it seems that team after team on the Calamari overachieved with Baxter Bogans being the minor premiers in the West, Cowboys From Hell in the East and Western Titans in the South providing the Calamari with a clean sweep.

It was a season that did see a number of teams do some serious tanking includig most notably the Maggots, who got the wooden spoon for their efforts, but lets not forget Chumunga, Viral Infections and others that looked at the long term good of their teams rather than a short term gain.

One important aspect of this is the draft order everyone has been waiting for.

This is a little unexpected as many had expected the Sharks to be picking first and may be the cause of some activity.

It was a great season in the Fishbowl, the first with three fully functioning leagues and 36 teams and Koopasaurus and I would like to thank everyone for their contributions to the league and we are looking forward to another exciting season of the Fishbowl starting in just two weeks.
