Current Standings:
(http://oi59.tinypic.com/2nicuu1.jpg)

Group A:
Tigers and Reindeers both gauranteed to get through. They play each other this week to determine who gets first though. Bashers and Breakers in battle for pride.

Group B:
Suns and Lambs must win and win big in order to qualify. The Wolves have superior percentage so they may still get in even if they lose. Rams not our yet and must rely on Wolves beating Suns by plenty and then also winning by plenty.

Group C:
Bears gaurenteed to qualify. Brewers(without Fyfe) and Eagles play to determine to other qualifyer. Huddersfield out.

Group D:
All teams a chance. For Polar Bears to get in, they must beat Spetnaz by a massive score and then hope Ales smash Owls by lots.

Group E:
Dublin(of course) and Kathmandu are both through. They play each other this week to determine who finishes first. I'll tip... Dublin 

Group F:
All teams a chance! Hurricanes VS Storm will surely blow it out of the park.

Group G:
The group I will be watching very closely this round! The 2 teams who win will go through! Exciting stuff.

Group H:
Laos to finally get the win over that lucky Christchurch mob. But unfortunately the result of that one won't change the fact that the Saints are into Round of 16 and Laos are not. Badgers VS Roulettes will decide who joins Christchurch.

No Ablett and Fyfe for the Wolves
and no Ablett and Beams (most likely) for us

Excuses :P. Bigger teams can fill the outs with stars while lower teams don't have that star power if their guns are rested ;).

Week 3 Final Results
(Drag image to new tab to view)
I may have made a mistake so let me know if you see one.



Breakers win... not much
Swansea Breakers(1446.07) Defeated Belgian Bashers(1439.31) 
Final Scores: (http://oi58.tinypic.com/1zwhywz.jpg)

In a irrelevant match the Breakers salvage some pride to finish on 1-2 whilst the Bashers just weren’t Championship Material as shown with their 0-3 record.


UAE Stay Strong
UAE Tigers(1531.68) Defeated PNL Reindeers(1529) 
Final Scores: (http://oi59.tinypic.com/263g9xf.jpg)

UAE pick up the win in a tight one and with this claim top spot in Group A. The news is not bad for PNL as they still go through.


Rams knock Lambs
Liverpool Rams(1513.56) Defeated Mongolian Lambs(1470.90) 
Final Scores: (http://oi59.tinypic.com/2iihfgi.jpg)

The Lambs needed a win this week and they couldn’t get it. Both of these teams failed to make it through.


Suns rise
Mexico City Suns(1598) Defeated Macedonian Wolves(1441.34) 
Final Scores: (http://oi57.tinypic.com/21do3dy.jpg)

Mexico City needed a win to make it to the next round and they didn’t disappoint. The Wolves won’t be too upset as they make it through anyway.


Hawks fly
Huddersfield Hawks(1388.51) Defeated Bangladesh Bears(1320.19) 
Final Scores: (http://oi59.tinypic.com/2gv7koo.jpg)

The Bears were through last week and it seemed they were already planning for it as they rested a few of their top stars. Despite this win, the Hawks won’t be progressing to the next round.


Berlin progresses
Berlin Brewers(1483) Defeated Serbian Eagles(1442.35)
Final Scores: (http://oi61.tinypic.com/hv2h5u.jpg)

This was a match to watch! Both teams needed to win to move forward. In the end the Brewers proved to be too much for the Eagles


Ales show No Mercy!
Australian Ales(1540.14) Defeated Oxford Owls(1278.34) 
Final Scores: (http://oi59.tinypic.com/2mmyg4m.jpg)

The Ales made a statement here and finish top of their group with a 3-0 record.


Polar Bears blast
Iceland Polar Bears(1386.60) Defeated Moscow Spetnaz(1316) 
Final Scores: (http://oi57.tinypic.com/29dk87t.jpg)

What a finish to this one. The Ales finishing 3-0 means that the other 3 teams all finished 1-2!! But only 1 can progress! Who will it be? Result will be up shortly.


Selwood + Goldy combo too strong
Dublin Destroyers(1627) Defeated Kathmandu Eskimos(1382.43) 
Final Scores: (http://oi60.tinypic.com/11a9us6.jpg)

Both teams have already progressed and were playing off for top spot. The Eskimo’s however decided that it wasn’t worth playing too hard here and instead saving their energy for next week. But is there anyone that can challenge Goldy and Dublin?


Svalbard finally
Svalbard Valkyries(1530.54) Defeated Nottingham Hoods(1389.50) 
Final Scores: (http://oi57.tinypic.com/2who1tf.jpg)

Svalbard have shown glimpses of that potential but it all came about too late. As they feasted on the Hoods in a irrelevant match.


Storm do the job
Swiss Storm(1397.75) Defeated Hastings Hurricanes(1289.26) 
Final Scores: (http://oi62.tinypic.com/2eb48bm.jpg)

The Storm needed to win and they did! The Hurricanes are also through and may add a Champions League trophy to their cabinet to go along with their “Sure thing” BXV Premiership.


Strikers strike out
New York Revolution(1410) Defeated Sri Lankan Strikers(1321.66) 
Final Scores: (http://oi58.tinypic.com/14klirp.jpg)

The Revolution were already out. The next batter came to the plate and they struck out. Sri Lanka needed a home run to win. Or at least a hit. They could win and that means their out!


Lions progress
English Lions(1380.52) Defeated Toronto Wolves(1288) 
Final Scores: (http://oi60.tinypic.com/2ii7uow.jpg)

The all important final games in Group G where whoever won would move on. The Lions gave just enough to book themselves a ticket to the Round of 16.


KL limp to next round
KL Crocodiles(1443.21) Defeated Winchester Werewolves(1392.48) 
Final Scores: (http://oi58.tinypic.com/2vkdjzs.jpg)

The Crocs may have some injuries but they were still able to get over the Werewolves to advance to the next round. Despite being hurt, the Crocs are still a team that could go bang and win it all.


Bradford win in tussle
Bradford Badgers(1403.40) Defeated Russian Roulettes(1368.36)
Final Scores: (http://oi61.tinypic.com/suww78.jpg)

Both teams would have felt like they had a chance to pinch it. But in the end it’s going to be the Badgers joining Christchurch in the next round.


Saints not so saintly
Christchurch Saints(1244) Defeated Laos Elephants(1236.27)
Final Scores: (http://oi57.tinypic.com/nytk43.jpg)

Had no idea what Coach meow was trying to do here. But somehow it payed off. Amazingly also meaning that the Saints finish 3-0!






Again if you see any mistakes let me know.

With that. The group rounds are over!

We are down to 16 teams and all matches are knockouts!


Magic mirror on the wall,
Who's the team that will win it all?

Not that it matters but Hoods score is wrong by about 50 points

Made no difference if we won or not, we were already through to the 16 so I thought I'd give the reserves a run.

But Picken should not have been 0.5 OOP, Zorko would come on to cover Elliott. Which would give us an extra 9 points, and the win.

Did you count Lonergan for the Badgers? I don't think those scores add up, I should be a bit more I'm pretty sure.

You've been reading my team submissions I see  ;) Admittedly, I was more sure at the start of the season when I had Cornes, Mumford, Wells, Daisy, a favoured Chapman... but I lol'd :P

I'm still in disbelief that the Storm made it through over my other, stronger teams.  :o

Think Iceland just finish behind the Owls based on percentage :(. Didn't calculate it properly but it's gonna be close as Ales set them behind by quite a bit for Points against!

PNL SO CLOSE!! Can't believe we lost by 2 points! Good match but we're lucky we still get through.

Great job with this Levi, can never be perfect handling all the teams + multipliers!
