New Idea
High 5 / Low 5
High 5
1. Pool Outlaws (9-1) (+9)
After losing in the first week, the Pool Outlaws have been reeling off nine straight wins and are officially the best league in MLP (stat-wise). Sean, my trusted cubby, has said that "No team is hotter in ML than the Outlaws." I couldn't agree more.
2. Pool Hustlers (7-3) (+6)
In this case, the numbers do lie. After struggling for wins in the beginning of the season, Ren has revitalized the epitimiy of an interleague. With his regulars playing for PH, they appear to be unstoppable including the only defeat Absolute Finest has had this season. If they continue to win, the division title could be within grasp.
3.Absolute Finest (9-1) (+3)
Some of you may be asking, why is Absolute Finest below PH when they are technically second in MLP? Lets take a look at AF's schedule that has brought them top of the Mountain glory. BA, BBM, BE, BNR, BS, CHP, LKP, PLP, TP. Their only loss was to PH. AF Managed to win 5 of those games with a 4-3 margin. How many of those teams are truly threats to most leagues? However, consistency is important as well as clutch. AF does seem to have that leaning for them.
4. QueBallz (8-2) (+7)
With their only losses to PO and MZ, Quez is showing solidarity in their lineup. A consistent and deep bench has caused them to be a threat to any team they face. Their biggest challenge will be coming up next week for Pool Fiction. This is a test of clutch performances. If Quez can pull of a win on the slipping PFN, they may find themselves atop the Central Division before the season is over.
5. Pool Fighters (8-2) (+5) And Regul8ors (8-2) (+5)
This one is really too close to call. Notice the similar standings and streaks. Coincidentally, both of them are in the Pacific Division, fighting for that top spot. Sure, PF beat PH 4-3, the same PH that beat Regs 5-2. But, Regs beat HS 4-3, the same HS that beat PF 4-3. The Regs did beat PF in the reg season, but PF has more wins in the W/L column. It all adds up to a stalemate. Week 12 will be the week to watch. AF vs PF and Regs Vs BS. Either team can win or lose in both matches. That week should determine who deserves #1.

Low 5 (Provided By Wet Cubby)
28. Elite Pool (3-7) (-3)
Not ChampionsPool, because they've had a tough stretch. But attitude-wise, the fact that their home matches are a zoo, their captain has a big mouth, and it spews ignorance week after week, no contest.
29. BritPool (2-8) (-3)
Authors of the book Blowing Leads For Dummies. Every time they have a big lead except twice, they've completely blown it. Lucky to be above WildAngels in this, you could argue they should be switched.
30. Wild Angels (2-8) (-7)
Also on a very bad streak. One of the biggest disappointments in MLP.
31. Pool Pimps (2-7) (-6)
An absolute joke how they never seem to have a team, no mention at all of interleagues on their page last I checked, it's sad really.
32. Breakers Alley (1-9) (-8)
Obviously, worst team in MLP overall, the Atlanta Hawks pretty much.
