And here come the round 3 votes, game one writeup courtesy of naker:

Match of the Week

CROCKERS vs. Rampaging Marmots 101 - 100 (((35545792)))
This was a match between two great teams that resulted in a nailbiting finish! Tactics were a little unusual for both teams in my opinion but the suspense created as a result makes it worth it! This tantalising battle between these two juggernauts remained close the entire match, and as they exchanged blow for blow they found themselves tied entering the infamous last quarter! The scores were tied with 1 second remaining on the clock but a shooting foul at the very last second gave Crockers two free attempts to win the match. Just to keep the suspense up Crocker's player missed the first free throw which caused a thunderous roar of excitement from the Marmots' fans, but as Crocker's player readied himself for his second free throw he blocked out the noise, concentrated, and made the basket that demoralised the Marmots beyond repair. A brilliant game with a photo finish!

3. R. McPhail (C) - McPhail was the top scorer for the match with an efficient 27 points, which combined with 10 rebounds and 6 assists easily makes him the man of this match. His name might be McPhail, but tonight he was McSuccess!

2. T. Rice (RM) - Rice performed fantastically for the Marmots with 22 points and 4 rebounds in only 34 minutes. Shooting with over 80% efficiency it crushed the Marmots when the bribed referees gave him his 6th and final foul causing him to have to leave the court and leave the fate of the match in the hands of his teammates.

1. D. Gardner (RM) - Gardner was the equal top scorer for the Rampaging Marmots and managed to score 24 points with 60% efficiency, but in addition he managed to get 22 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals making him the worthy recipient of this final MVP point.



JW City Bulls vs. Northcote Slammers 93 - 99 (35545795)

In what was a desperate battle of 2 winless teams looking to get on the board, Northcote (Kevin) beat the JW City Bulls (Sharks) in what was a thrilling match decided right down to the final minutes. Both teams played Outside offensive tactics but Northcote's better Defence cancelled out any advantage the bulls had gained as possibly the better offensive teamt to squeek over the line. This game was close throughout with Northcote turning back a 2 point 3q time deficit to win the last quarter 39-31.

3. P. Masetti (Northcote) - Masetti was the MVP of this matchup scoring 30 points on 13-23 shooting whilst pulling in 19 boards. Masetti is showing his vote catching performances in last seasons Outcast league were no fluke.

2. J. Kent (JW City Bulls) - Mr Kent was the shining light at PG for the Bulls dishing out 7 assists with only 1 TO and also scoring 28 points with 8-9 FT. he also chipped in 3 steals and 3 blocks.

1. D. Polglase (Northcote) - Another familiar face from the Outcasts PL of last season bobbed up for the 1 vote in this game. Polglase scored 22 points and had 21 rebounds in a big double double.

Da Fat Boy Slim vs. Chumunga 79 - 57 (35545793)

In what was another dismal display from Chumunga in a challenging season so far from the team the put up a pathetic 57 points in a low scoring match versus DFBS. DFBS showed great inside stats both defensively and offensively and Chumunga's 3-2 against an inside offence proved fatal in this one dominated from start to finish by DFBS.

3. K. Duffill (DFBS) - Duff man showed he aint no $2 pussy versing Chumunga's bigmen in a dominant performance deserving of 3 votes. He had 30 points and 13 rebounds shooting a respectable 12-16 from the field. He even had time to be subbed off 3min from the end to do 3 minutes worth of Duffman pelvic thrusts on the sideline such was his energy....

2. R. Rendon (DFBS) - Rendon was a model citizen at SG in this game, whilst his stats dont look dominant (14 points on 7-13, 6 reb, 3 assists) he was the 2nd best player on court.

1. T. Bessarab (Chumunga) - Bessarab just pips his bigman partner Kuzel for the 1 vote from the game. He had a 20-20 game whilst also picking up 3 steals and 2 blocks.

Please have a look at your players and let me know if there is anything wrong and I'll adjust my spreadsheet accordingly! I'll write up a summary of the leaders after the round's games have been completed.

Rice only has 5 Camel and this wouldnt have been affected by ur appeal u dirty cheat! :-p

Melbourne Goldfish vs. Slam ! 90 - 74 (35545790)

This matchup between showcased 2 different offensive styles with fishy's Goldfish (R&G) taking on Slam's LI. In what promised to be a tight game fishys slightly better depth and better allround defence helped them to the win.

3. X. Guanzheng (Melb Goldfish) - Xie continues his vote catching performances with another best on court performance. Although not being terribly efficient offensively (10-28 for his 26 points), Xie chipped in with 10 rebounds from the guard spot with 2 blocked shots.

2. K. Macko (Slam) - Slam took the 2 votes thanks to no other amazing standouts for the fish with Macko "the tomacco" the best of the bunch. Macko had 15 points on 7-17 with 15 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks.

1. A. Di Nunno (Melb Goldfish) - Di Nunno takes the one vote over fishys top scorer in the game who wasnt very efficient. Di Nunno had a efficient 10 points on 4-7 battling Slam's big men whilst also pulling in 15 boards with 3 assists and a block


Cowboys From Hell vs. Chelsea Seagulls 82 - 87 (35545791)

In a crucial battle of 2 highly ranked teams sitting at 1-1 for the PL season, the Cowboys took on the Seagulls. Both teams showcased some amazingly balanced D in this game with the Cowboys managing double prominent with his patient tactic and the Seagulls double proficient. However it was the Seagulls who thanks to some great outside offence and an extra period of OT.

3. R. Forbes (Chelsea) - Another familiar face for 3 votes here with Forbes being the MVP of the game. He had 18 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists with shooting 50% from the floor.

1. A. Villain (Cowboys) - And in a controversial and tight decision i have leant towards Villain for the 1 vote from the lsoing Cowboys. Although Villain wasnt massively efficient offensively (5-16 for his 11 points) he did have an impressive 12 rebounds and 8 assists in an allround performance at SF to fall 2 assists short of a trip dub.



SASTROOPERS vs. Beasts Red 75 - 52 (35545794)

And in what was suppoosed to be a lopsided matchup we got just that, a lopsided matchup! The favoured Sastroopers showed their allround talent offensively and defensively over the Red's to hold them to 52 points for the match in a 23 point win without losing a quarter.

3. K. Smeltz (SAS) - Smeltz kept on truckin in this match with another 3 votes. He hit 22 points, 22 reb, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

2. C. Musolino (SAS) - Musolino took 2 votes from this game despite only playing 10min!!! He went 6-6 for his 13 points and dragged in 6 rebounds and a block. Could not look past this.

CROCKERS vs. Slam ! 114 - 71 (35545797)

In a battle of the 2 II.4 foes the Crocker Monkeys were way too good for Slam who had just made some sales of players from his team. Crockers played Motion and a 2-3 zone versus Slam's PTB and man on man D which gave crockers a huge advantage tactically. Put simply this one was not close from start to finish...

3. C. Wing Chun (Crockers) - Unusually the 4th highest scorer on the day for Crockers takes the 3 votes with a sensational trip dub. Chun who was playing at C had 14 points, 23 rebounds and 12 assists in an allround dominant performance.

2. R. McPhail (Crockers) - McFail was the 2nd best performer in this one with 30 points on 10-20 shooting (could have been better if he didnt jack up so many 3's), 8 assists and 4 steals...

1. A. Boccaccio (Crockers) - The Boccaccio played a nice solid game on his way to 24 points on 10-20 shooting exploiting the poor OD. He also had 6 reb and 4 assists.

Northcote Slammers vs. Beasts Red 89 - 74 (35545801)

In what was quite an interesting matchup we had Northcote take on Beasts Red...Both teams showed a lack of offensive ratings and matched their best defence against the others strength in this one. Northcote built the win with impressive leads in the 2nd and 3rd q and were never headed.

3. P. Masetti (Northcote) - Masetti was the standout for the game scoring 24 points at over 50% and collecting 12 rebounds. He continues to show he is a good collector of MVP votes.

2. T. Harakka (Northcote) - Harakka takes the 2 votes in what i consider a very hard decision. Beasts dont deserve the 2 votes as if it was a case that Northcote's starters played the whole last quarter they prob would have won by 30. Harakka had 13 points, 5 reb, 5 steals and 2 assists for the game.

1. A. Runcio (Beasts) - Runcio was the dominant force for Beasts hitting 37 points on 15-32 and collecting 7 rebounds for the 1 vote.
