    The minor round is now over and the finals are upon us. Please read over for the reviews.



    Premier League



    The Ticking Time Bomb (6-10) 1562 defeated The Jug O Naughts (5-11) 1245



    Games played were 45-42 in favour of the Time Bomb



    Both teams close a disappointing minor round with The Ticking Time Bomb posting a consolation victory this round. The Time Bomb is safe from relegation due to the 3rd best points for in the league while it looks like JON will be safe from relegation as well. This round the best player for Time Bomb was Ibaka (230/5) while for JON it was Pau Gasol with (215/4).



    King of Karlos (9-7) 1416 defeated Too Seriouseses (0-16) 1221



    Games played were 43-38 in favour of Karlos.



    This was the last official game in the Premier League for Walesy as he has now been relegated to Div One next season. His team looked scary on paper at the start of the year but due to a number of injuries and calculated risks his team never lived up to their potential. Karlos was able to post a comfortable win this round and is looking ahead to round one of the finals. CP3 was the best for Karlos this round with (214/4) and best for Walesy was Durant (169/3).



    Wade Machine (8-8) 1658 defeated Ruddy's Cavaliers (11-5) 1393



    Games played were 46-38 in favour of Wade Machine



    Wade Machine have come home like a train in the 2nd half of the season and posted another win this over Ruddy. Ruddy finished top in his conference and has the week off in the 1st round of the finals. The leading scored for Wade Machine this round was Jordan (255/4) while the best for Ruddy was Westbrook with a massive (337/5).



    Straight up Ballin (6-10) 1343 defeated Run TMC (5-11) 1174



    Games played were 45-32 in favour of Straight Up Ballin



    Things never really clicked for Run TMC this season and it now looks like Owen will be relegated to Div One. Straight Up Ballin is also in danger of being relegated and will need to survive the minor round consolation finals to stay up in the Premier League. The best player for Straight Up Ballin this round was Stuckey (192/4) and the best for Run TMC was Lawson (189/4).



    Team Stowie (14-2) 1554 defeated Team Heaver (10-6) 1457



    Games played were 44-42 in favour of Stowie.



    Stowie has the week off in the first round of the finals for winning his conference and would have to be clear favourite to win the title at this stage. Heaver has had another consistent season and will be looking forward to round one of the finals. The leading scorer for Stowie this round was Harden (224/4) and the best for Heaver was Horford (182/4).

    Hersey Hawkins Athletic Club (13-3) 1431 defeated Westside Hardcore (9-7) 1347



    Games played were 45-42 in favour of Westside.



    Both teams have qualified for the finals and we be looking to get a win in the first round of the finals. The best for HHAC was Chalmers (190/4) and the Nurkic (170/4) was the leading scorer for Westside.



    Division One



    Biggest Losers - 1607 def The Fab 5 - 1399



    Top Scorers: BL - T Lawson - 189, F5 - J Crawford - 179
    Games Played: BL - 48, F5 - 46
    In the unlikeliest of circumstances, The Biggest Losers complete the division sweep by beating all 5 division opponents to qualify as the 6th seed for the playoffs! The Losers have an equal league best 5 game streak and face the other 5-game-on-the-trot-winner in The Raptors in week 1 of the playoffs. The Fab 5 finish the season out of the playoff picture, but barring something going majorly wrong should avoid relegation and remain in Division 1 next season.



    Hinrich Manoeuvre - 1296 def Crossys Crusaders - 1230



    Top Scorers: HRM - T Duncan - 172, CC - G Hayward - 153
    Games Played: HRM - 45, CC - 43
    What on earth has happened to Crossy and his Crusaders? Losing 4 of his last 5 games of the regular season, he drops to 5th in the playoff standings and also loses the mantle of highest scoring team to Ant Hak in the last round. Crossy must really be thinking what has gone wrong. A few weeks ago he was championship favourite and almost guaranteed promotion to the Premier League - now his fate lays mostly in the hands of Ant Hak to win the Championship. HRM finish the season on a high by winning game 4 for the season, but unfortunately he is unlikely to avoid relegation and will play next season in Div 2 (if he doesn't win all his consol games).



    The Raptors - 1610 def The Real MVP - 1347



    Top Scorers: RAP - D Jordan - 255, L6 - K Middleton - 174
    Games Played: RAP - 46, L6 - 41
    The Raptors finish the season with a sweep of his division rivals to qualify for the playoffs as the 3rd seed, facing The Biggest Losers in week 1. The Raptors are in ominous form and look hard to beat. The Real MVP finished the season as the 4th playoff seed and will face Crossys Crusaders in week 1 but will find the going tough without their star player in Anthony Davis for the entirety of the round.



    Ant Hak - 1621 def Jasmines Mob - 1319



    Top Scorers: AH - C Paul - 214, JMOB - J Harden - 224
    Games Played: AH - 52, JMOB - 38
    All hail King Ant Hak! This team has finished the season with the league's best record and also the highest score for the season. The only piece of silverware missing now is the championship trophy. Ant Hak have clinched a spot in Premier League for next season which cannot be taken away, regardless of what happens in the playoffs. Jasmine finished the season on a disappointing note. Obviously Jasmine had a fair bit going on away from the league as there were a number of opportunities missed for her to score more points and even win more games. Jasmine will spend next season in Div 1 again.



    Adelaide Maggots - 1497 def CK Nicks - 1441



    Top Scorers: AM - S Ibaka - 230, CKNY - R Westbrook - 337
    Games Played: AM - 45, CKNY - 48
    The battle of the cellar dwellers was won by the Maggots, who notched up their 3rd win of the season. Both of these teams will be relegated for next season unless one of them can win all their consol games. CK Nicks season could never really get going after the great ‘T Jones trade blunder of 2014' so hopefully he learns from this and gives a better showing in Div 2 next season.



    Hall of Famers - 1643 def Broady Broncos - 1610



    Top Scorers: FAME - S Curry - 195, BB - D Cousins - 197
    Games Played: FAME - 46, BB - 47
    The Broncos have had a Crossy like finish to the season and now (barring winning all their consol games) face relegation to Division 2 next season. On the other hand the Hall of Famers go in to the playoffs as the 2nd seed and have also sewn up a spot in the Premier league next season. They look to be next on the championship odds after Ant Hak.




    Division Two



    Finals time is here and things got a little crazy last week. The biggest fall from grace goes to Enter Team Name Here who went from leading the comp for the early stages to plummeting out of the playoff race into the relegation in zone in one fell swoop courtesy of Nettin Blatches resounding 1787 - 1390 victory. It just goes to show how close Div 2 has been this season. Paky Ballers also lost their grip on top spot overall by losing to XYX ElBonz 1595-1483. ElBonz secured their playoff spot with the win also. Wafty Boxes also secured 2nd overall by just doing what was needed to beat Cyril33s Crushers 1414-1221.

    The finals are going to be a war of attrition with several big names missing extended time which is throwing finals preparation into chaos. The top 2 seeds are breathing a sigh of thanks for the bye as they are missing their big guns for this week at the very least. Nahl Vs Lil Dee has Monobrow out and Wafty has KD and Griffin out.

    Finals games this week see #4 XYZ ElBonz take on #5 Nettin Blatche and #6 Travys Boys v #3 Paky Ballers. Both games are sure to be close games.

      In D2 News:

      #6 Travys boys went in to today against #3 Paky Ballers leading 1437 - 1118. However Travy has left Aldridge, Butler and Deandre Jordan on the bench and only has Ibaka playing. Paky has 9 players on for the day. Not an insurmountable challenge

      Relegated to div one already?!?

      Surely we have a chance at the Wildcard!!! (That thing still exists right? I might have missed a memo somewhere :D)
    8. Steve
      Steve
      Oops my bad Walesy, you are right, if you win all of your minor round finals you will survive!!!

      Out of interest here is the rules for relegation and promotion for this season

      For the 2014/'15 season, the set up is as follows:

      Promotion:

      The 5 that get promoted from Div 3 are the following:

      2 grand final teams;
      then excluding 2 gf teams, the two teams with best 'points for' during our regular season;
      then excluding those 4 already promoted, the best ranked team at end of our regular season.

      The 4 going up from Div 2 to Div 1 will be
      the two grand final teams;
      and (excluding the two GF teams) the team with the best 'points for';
      and (excluding said Points For winner) the best ranked team at end of our regular season.

      The 3 teams going up from Div 1 to Premier will be
      the GF winning team;
      the team with the best Reg season 'Points For' (excluding GF winner of course);
      And (excluding 2 already promoted teams) the team with the best rank during regular season.


      and for relegation:

      The 3 teams being relegated from Premier will be:
      the bottom team at the end of the regular season;
      and (excluding the team with the worst reg season record) the two teams with the lowest 'Points For' at the end of our regular season.

      The teams being relegated from Division 1 to 2 will be
      the bottom two ranked teams at the end of our reg season;
      and (excluding the two bottom ranked teams) the two teams with the lowest 'Points For' at the end of the reg season.

      The 5 that get relegated from Div 2 are:
      the bottom two ranked teams at the end of our reg season;
      and (excluding the two bottom ranked teams) the three teams with the lowest 'Points For' at the end of the reg season.


      Exemptions:

      ** Any teams that make the playoffs/finals are exempt from relegation.

      ** And the get-out wildcard clause if you do happen to find yourself in the relegation zone.
      – Anyone who wins all 3 games during playoffs/finals is exempt from relegation; and the lowest ranked at end of regular season will be relegated in their stead (that isnt already being relegated of course).

      kssss, the dream is alive! :D

      With Ant a very good chance of sweeping the 3 catergories for promotion to premier league ie. He had the best win/loss record and the best points for and may win the grand final where does that leave the other means for promotion ?
    11. LiQuiD_SiXx
      LiQuiD_SiXx
      Likely scenarios:

      Ant is promoted regardless
      Hall of Famers needs to win Championship or have Ant win and be promoted via 2nd best record
      Crossy needs Ant to win to be promoted via 2nd most points
      Biggest Losers & The Real MVP need to win to be promoted
      Raptors need Hall of Famers to win to be promoted via 3rd best record
    12. bgt2110
      bgt2110
      If Ant and Biggest Losers play off for the championship i wasn't sure if i would be promoted with those 2 by reason of having the 2nd best win/loss ratio or would Crossy be promoted by reason of having the 2nd best points for.
    13. Pearcey47
      Pearcey47
      The way I see it for Div 1 is that Ant and HOF are promoted regardless, i.e.
      If Ant wins championship he goes up with Crossy (best points) and HOF (next best record)
      If HOF wins he goes up with Ant (best points) and The Raptors (next best record)
      If The Real MVP win they go up with Ant (best points) and HOF (next best record)
      If Biggest Losers win they go up with Ant (best points) and HOF (next best record)
      Most interesting that even though 2 teams have been eliminated all 6 playoff teams can still be promoted.
    14. bgt2110
      bgt2110
      Regardless of who goes up or down just want to say thanks for the weekly reports, big commitment to take on over 16 weeks or so.

      Good luck this week Ant, you are going to need it now that I have taken over ownership of L6's team.

      So the following has happened in the Premier League after the first round of the finals.

      Heaver and Karlos have won the main finals and will now play against Ruddy and Stowie in the next round.

      Owen has been relegated to Div One as he lost to Walesy

      Dan, Jet and Walesy all won their minor finals this round

      Walesy definitely needs to win his next 2 matches to avoid the chop.

      If Walesy win his next 2 matches, then Jet and Dan will be relegated based on the lowest points for at the end of the minor round.

      If Jet wins his next 2 matches, Walesy and Dan will be relegated.

      If Dan wins his next 2 matches, Walesy and Jet will be relegated.

      Both Fez and myself are safe due to our higher points for at the end of the minor round.

      I hope I have got that right!

      Good luck Steve - I trust you will do the MVPs proud.
