Wow after hanging around 63-73 most of the season this week was a slaughter. Biggest ever margin at 79-57. Biggest ever change, the gap is +12 points from last week. Obviously the highest and lowest scores ever. The XBB with most of their teams geared for finals simply slaughtered the IV.7 teams who are almost all resting now. Koopasaurus, Da Fat Boy Slim, Maggots, The Pwnage, jw all-stars and Eggplantpopolopolous all have their teams finely tuned while only the Kynlala Knights saw real league action for IV.7 this week. But it is not enough to explain the dominance of the XBB. The XBB have simply put together a better conference this season.

One odd spot: After all the hype and a little anger at times about all the new "super" teams joining our league this season it is funny to see where they are on our ladder.

Western Titans 9
Kynlala Knights 10
The Pwnage 11
City Celtics 13

They haven't exactly "dominated" as much as some people feared.

Well thank goodness it was a more even week than last week with the IV.7 Calamari catching up a tiny bit. However with two weeks to go there are now three things that are clear.
1) Koopasaurus will be the minor champions. A brilliant season capped off by a trip to the ABBL. Did everyone realise they were playing against an ABBL standard team this season? Well done, Koopasaurus!
2) Da Fat Boy Slim will be the minor runner up. While The Seagulls still have a mathematical chance of passing him there is no practical chance. So it liiks like the league finals will yet again be Da Fat Boy Slim against Koopasaurus. Last time it was division II against division III, this time it will be ABBL against division II.
3) The XBB Sharks have been just far too strong this season. With Knights and Infections tanking, Celtics and Chasers struggling and almost every other Calamari team being inconsistent it is clear who the best team is in season three. Well done the XBB Sharks.
4) This round had possible the game of the season and one that may have decided thrid spot on the ladder. Chelsea Seagulls and SASTROOPERS had an epic battle that went to double overtime. In the end Chelsea won, but who was the man of the match? There will be a more detailed writeup in the MVP section.

It is the second last week and to be honest most of the suspense has gone. The final will be Koopasaurus against Da Fat Boy Slim and the XBB Sharks have eaten the IV.7 Calamari. At least the Calamari didn't slip further behind this week despite some poor performances again, this time by the Chelsea Seagulls being whipped by the City Celtics and SASTROOPERS getting revenge by having a narrow win over the Goldfish. The most interesting game was possibly the game between Viral Infections and Kynlala Knights where both used outside isolation and outside box and one to allow some torrid scoring - McArthur with 50 and Nica with 43.

Well what a season of domination it has been for the XBB. With only Cowboys and Seagulls in the top 7 teams the IV.7 Calamari have been thoroughly outclassed. Well done to the champions!

The grand final will again be an all XBB afair with Koopasaurus being very confident of knocking off Da Fat Boy Slim again.

A couple of interesting notes the XBB is planning to have Maggots (6th) represent them in their top 3 next season rather than SASTROOPERS (5th). Even more extreme the Calamari are plannig to run with Viral Infections (14th) instead of Cowboys From Hell (3rd).

Season three will feature a four season competition where the XBB Sharks and the IV.7 Calamari are joined by the Guppies and Team Kevin. Two weeks until tipoff. I can't wait!

So a lucky member of the XBB will win the free 3 months of supporter based on the final score in the grandfinal between Koopasaurus and Da Fat Boy Slim.

Lucky Winning Team Member Announced

After the end of the spectacular final between Koopasaurus and Da Fat Boy Slim there was a final score of 84-79. The lucky number is 9. There are only 8 XBB teams so we have a countback and the next lucky number is 7.

So the winner is ChuckyFE of Eggplantpopololous.
