All Fat And Ready for Week 12
Week 12
Monday Night Fights
Pool Pimps (5-5)vs Superb Pool(5-5) 7 pm
With the playoffs on the line and very little room for error these 2 teams are on the bubble they have a slim chance of making the last playoff spot winner will still be alive loser will be playing for pride for the rest of the season. Pool Pimps are coming of a win while Superb is coming off 4. Alot of turmoil in the Superb camp. Dont really know if Liz_Moon will be still captain only thing I really know is Goodbye_sober_days will not be on the Superb Side this time around. And Pool Pimps will take this 4-3 but it wont be a game 7 affair they will get their 4th in game 6. Superb out of playoffs Pimps slim hopes still alive.
PP 4-3 over SP
Ez8(7-3) at Happy Pool (4-6) 9 pm
Ez8 with a nice lineup fighting for the Atlantic Division with a 3 way tie atop the atlantic. Happy pool trying to play spoiler becuase their playoff chances are slim and none focus more on the none. Ez8 takes the win 5-2 Happy Pool keep your heads up you still can look forward to next season.
Ez8 5-2 over HP
Elite Poolers(8-2) At Black Silver(5-5) 9pm
So Much controversy occurs in Blacksilver you never know who will be on their team...Tooth and Ruff will try to play spoilers in this week and with Crypt moving and might not showing up this week it will be too little against EP. EP tries to pull the Pacific Division but I think Jack, Dios, Scotter and Negro can pull this one out and keep working towards a division Title.
EP 4-3 over BS
Tuesday Night
Pool Fighters(8-2) At MadSkillz (6-4)7pm
PF has their playoff spot all but locked up unless they internally combust and just not show up anymore. Too much Talent on this team headed by the much heralded Luis who has had some sluggish performances this season but he still is one of the best. Just try to beat him in BLT camtasia jump it aint easy. Well anyways Madskillz still fighting for their playoff spot they lose this match and makes it a much closer race for the 6th and final spot.
PF 5-2 over MZ
Breakers Alley(3-7) vs Poolfiction(10-0) 7pm
Sorry Breakers another loss good luck next season you can show up if you want but the result wont change.... Poolfiction one of the most stacked teams every with Jammy, Marty, Hill, Zame, Do I really need to go on I could if I wanted to thats enough. First Home win this week. Poolfiction starting to look like their own allstar team prolly could take on either allstar teams. Poolfiction still Undefeated this season.
PFN 6-1 over Breakers Alley(I hate seeing skunks but this prolly will be 7-0)
Co-Game of the week.
Pool Hustlers(7-3) At Pool Outlaws(9-1) 8pm
I wish I could be there to play for PH gl guys your gonna need it. Pool Outlaws will bring their A game against the Hustlers. Hustlers once thought would take the Pacific Division are just lookin to stay in the playoffs. Having problems the last few weeks the Hustlers still have problems missing myself and Don who quit pool. They still have great players and will make it a 4-3 affair but Hustlers wont have the 4.
PO 4-3 over PH
Co-Game of the week.
Regul8ors (8-2) At Beer Ball Masters(8-2) 9pm
Just so happens the 2 best matches of the week happen the same night and start an hour from each other. Well this will be another great match with players such as Super_Rah, Revolutionizingthegame, Jerfighter, Pita, and Robbie Makes Reg's a tough foe if they all show up. As for BBM they ain't chumps either with Clogz, MJ, And Kenny They can hold their own against Regs. Regs should take this and be fighting EP for #1 in the Pacific Division.
Regs 4-3 over BBM
Wednesday
Cuekeepers(7-3) At StraightShots(7-3) 7pm
Very few key players in the Keeper camp but they have quite a few decent players. As for the shots they have quite a few aces with Blake and DJ to lead them. StraightShots just have too much for the Keepers to overcome and Slowly fade into 3rd place in the Atlantic Due to Ez8 and SS will be Tied at the end of the week for first which auto puts them in 3rd.
SS 5-2 over CKP
Hot Shotz (3-7) At Xpool (3-7) 8 pm
Hot Shotz being in a division that is just to strong for them this year also losing a key player in Vickie for the season due to In league issues. Will make it Hard for them to Overcome Xpool Granted Picking up Goodbye_sober_days will only benefit them (5-2 player) He can take a game but will it be enough? I think so HS 4-3 over Xpool Game 7 decider with Glenno or Chris Taking it. (Dont forget their sleeper player Stylez_dj)
HS 4-3 over XP
Thursday
United Pool (3-7) At PoolMasters (6-4) 7pm
Prime example of a long standing interleague power vs a new comer. UP has some good players but not enough to take on all of PM's PM will show them why they are always Playoff Bound.
PM 5-2 over UP
Lava Pool Loung (4-6) At BritPool (3-7) 8pm
Ogges tries to keep LPL alive and kicking in a small playoff chance. It doesnt look like they have a good future but you never know stranger crap has happend. Britpool will fight them to keep them out becuase they arent going. LPL loses tonight their season is done for sure.
LPL 4-3 over BP
My Playoff Picks.
American
Pool Fiction will win out and Finish 13-0 and Win the Division. As for the #2 Seed both SS and Ez8 will win out and Ez8 holds the Tie breakers H2H so Ez8 takes #2 and PF will get #3 with better Record and #4 goes to HS and Cue Keepers providing they dont collapse after they lose to SS they get #5 but #6 in very very very Interesting. I am forseeing a very big Tie break scenario provided what I think will happen happens. SP loses to Pool Pimps Week 12. PP 6-5 SP 5-6. Pool Pimps Lose to PFN PP 6-6. MZ loses to PF and SS 6-6. Going into Week 13 Pool pimps, Superb Pool and MadSkillz will be 6-6. Pool Pimps Play LPL while Superb Pool Plays MZ. Pool Pimps win vs LPL end season 7-6 and gets a playoff spot with Tie Break over SP and MZ. Now if LPL win vs Pool Pimps then Pool Pimps are 6-7 and Winner of SP vs MZ match gets final spot.
#1 PoolFiction(13-0)
#2 Ez8 Pool (10-3)
#3 PoolFighters (10-3)
#4 StraightShots(10-3)
#5 Cue Keepers (9-4
#6 Pool Pimps (7-6
National
PO will win the National Conference. They will beat PH and BBM and BNR and finish 12-1. Now as for #2 seed this is the tricky part. BBM REg and EP are all tied up right now but Reg will knock BBM down and out of the #2 seed. If Regs Beat PH then Regs Take #2 seed if Regs Lose to PH then EP Takes #2 becuase EP has a much easier last 3 games with BS XP and SC(forfeit).Then it comes down to H2h for #3 which when Regs beat BBM week 12 they take #3 and thust gives BBM who beat PH #3 and PH Gets #4 becuase they will finish 9-4 (they will pull of the Upset vs Regs and I should be there playing)
#1 Pool Outlaws (12-1)
#2 Elite Poolers (11-2)
#3 Regul8ors (10-3)
#4 BeerBall Masters (9-4)
#5 Pool Hustlers (9-4)
#6 Pool Masters (9-4)
Who's gonna have a Merry Christmas?
Let's start with the American League, 2 division winners and 4 wildcards remember, as you may remember PoolFiction has clinched a spot, and they'll likely be #1 after they clinch their division next week or the week after. Therefore, PoolFighters can't be the #2 seed because that goes to whichever team wins the other division. That's gonna be EZ8Pool. EZ8 has HappyPool and LPL before getting their forfeit win against NCP in week 14. StraightShots and CueKeepers need to go 10-3 to make it interesting, and only 1 can do that, as SS and CKP both meet in these final few weeks. The only way EZ8 will not win this division really, is if CueKeepers beat Straightshots. The 3rd spot, is an interesting scenario. PF has MadSkillz, NewCastle, and PoolFiction in that order. Let's assume they win 1 of those (NewCastle), they finish 9-4, let's say I'm right when I assume SS beats Cuekeepers, Breakers Alley, and MadSkillz, and go 10-3 (losing out to EZ8 via head-to-head). Now let's say PF beats MadSkillz, 10-3 tie between SS and PF, PoolFighters win through head to head, #3 seed, StraightShots get 4th. CueKeepers get #5, that leaves the 6-spot to SuperbPool or MadSkillz. SuperbPool plays the Pimps, BritPool, and closes out against MadSkillz. SuperbPool is a game behind MadSkillz for that 6th spot, and while you may say they only need 1 more win than madSkillz, MZ could lose against PF and SS, but still beat SuperbPool and take the 6th seed. But you also have to remember, Liz did what Luckypool captain Jenn was expected to do but couldn't, she turned this team around from horrible, to amazing. SuperbPool has won 4 straight, they'll win 7 straight. They'll also see PF in the Playoffs round 1.
So here's a recap of the 6 teams in order:
1. PoolFiction
2. EZ8Pool
3. PoolFighters
4. Straightshots
5. CueKeepers
6. SuperbPool
The pairings would look like:
SuperbPool at PoolFighters - PF wins in 5
CueKeepers at StraightShots - The rematch, SS again wins, in 6 or 7
PoolFighters at EZ8Pool - EZ8 upset 'em earlier this season, on a Luis choke, but that certainly doesn't mean they can't do it again. I'll take EZ8 to pull it off 1 more time 4-3. I've said constantly PF didn't belong anywhere near those AL Championship matches these past 2 seasons. The round 2 luck has to run out soon.
StraightShots at PoolFiction - These 2 meet in interleague playoffs every season, everywhere, it seems. And it's always a fun rivalry match to watch, PFN won the match this season, though JJ was not around. This one is simply too close to call.
Whoever EZ8 plays of those 2 however, they're not gonna beat. They'll likely lose in 6, either way.
In the National League (thought I was done?) Pool Outlaws are NOT gonna win the conference. They're losing to BeerBallers, beating PH and BNR, finishing 11-2. But then there's ElitePool who WILL do it. BlackSilver, XPool, and a forfeit against SC coming. ElitePool finishes 11-2. Regul8ors and BeerBallers meet these next few weeks, and the only team that can go 3-0 to beat EP is the regul8ors, but they will only go 2-1, because the BeerBallers will beat them. BBM will also go 3-0, but take the 3rd seed because ElitePool beat em. Regul8ors will take the 4th seed at 10-3, Hustlers will finish 8-5, and this is where the real fun starts. PoolMasters will also go 8-5 (their loss coming against BlackSilver in these next 3 weeks, while beating United and XPool), BS will need to go 3-0 and it won't happen, sadly. They need PM to go 1-2, to tie them, and beat them in the PM-BS match, but Hustlers likely take #5, and PM hangs on to #6.
So the Playoff Pairings will look like this:
#6 PoolMasters at #3 BeerBallers - BBM takes it in 6
#5 Hustlers at #4 Regul8ors - Regs win in 7.
#3 BeerBallers at #2 PoolOutlaws - BBM wins in 5.
#4 Regul8ors at #1 ElitePool - Regul8ors won the season match, but cya next season guys, EP wins in 6.
NL Championship Match: BeerBallers and ElitePool - EP wins in 6.
As for the World Series, EP will beat EZ8 if they make it 2-0 (4-0 and 4-1), PF if they make it 2-1 (4-2, 3-4, 4-3), SS if they make it 2-1 (2-4, 4-2, 4-2), but will lose to PFN 2-1 (2-4, 4-2, 3-4) But hey, there's still 3 weeks for me to be completely wrong.
