If anybody wants GOAT, check my league side's percentage

Anyway, with three rounds to go our league finalists are pretty much set (the teams, not the order), unless LVS pull off a miracle and go 3-0 while San Francisco or Wisconsin go 0-3. As for the reserves, that's a different story. Rockford and Milwaukee are sixth and seventh with 7-7 records, and technically the only team safe are the top-placed Nevada Desert. Suffolk are also breathing down the top six's necks at 6-8 but having a great percentage thanks to the biggest score of the season (and biggest win), and Galapagos are still in the hunt.

This round -
The two 4-10 teams, Chicago and NBH, go at it. NBH smashed it last week and a win would allow them to jump the Sharks. In the reserves, Harlem want a win to have any chance at claiming the minor premiership, while Rockford need a win to stay in the top six.
If the Sinners want any chance of playing finals, they'll have to win here. Luckily, they play the lowly Otters in what should be comfortable wins for their league and reserves sides.
Carolina should have far too much firepower for Colorado in both league and reserves as they press their claim to jump spots in both competitions.
Probably the match of the round for the League and Reserves comps. Boston have been poor as of late and fourth-placed Houston would love a win to just about secure a top four spot, while in the reserves Suffolk had a huge outing last week and will need to replicate something similar to beat a very good Rio Grande Valley, the highest scoring team for the season.
This would've been a good game last week, but luckily for Anaheim (and unluckily as always for SF) Ablett and Waite will be missing for Wisconsin. It could and hopefully will be close, but the Ducks should get up. In the reserves, a win for Milwaukee could launch them into the top six, while the Dragons showed they're no push-overs last week but are probably just playing for pride at this point.
In our last game, San Francisco and Stanford are a combined 19-9, while Quito and Galapagos are 6-22. You'd think that would make it a stomping, but I have a feeling that won't be the case. SF's injuries continue to mount, while Quito have shown scoring potential this season. Looking to the reserves and Quito should be favourites, given Stanford's few players available (and how crummy they are).

Chicago Sharks 17.9.111 defeated New Brooklyn Hawks 17.8.110
(Real: 1665 vs 1661)

Wowee, this match sure delivered as the Sharks get across the line for a few reasons - NBH CC Cripps getting hurt early; Ryder's late heroics; and the HGA of Liam Picken snagging them the very tight victory. And don't worry, I've double and triple checked the scores.

Best
Chicago: Ryder, Oliver, Parker, Burgoyne, McDonald
Brooklyn: Crouch, Lever, Sidebottom, Brown, Newnes, Crouch, Mayes


Ottawa Otters 14.10.96 lost to Las Vegas Sinners 18.8.116
(Real: 1438 vs 1732)

The Sinners keep their finals hopes alive and boost their percentage in a nice win over the struggling Ottawa. Four scores in the 130s was always going to be enough to secure the win, while Ottawa just had far too many passengers - highlighted by Captain Treloar's miserable 61.

Best
Ottawa: McLean, Dixon, Cunnington
Las Vegas: Fyfe, Westhoff, Mitchell, Walker, Lyons, Franklin, Plowman


Colorado Avalanche 17.7.109 lost to Carolina Panthers 19.7.121
(Real: 1629 vs 1813)

Probably closer than most people thought it would be, but in the end a comfortable win for the competition's in-form side at the moment. Blues stars Docherty and Murphy lead the way for their sides, while the Panthers GWS brigade of Ward, Kelly, and Patton stood up while they missed Kennedy (injury) and Captain Martin (spud).

Best
Colorado: Murphy, Blakely, Ebert
Carolina: Docherty, Ward, Kelly, Patton, Atkins, Shiel
