Monday Night

Oh finally! Back to some season play. The final week of the season kicked off with some major league drama, including LPL not really prepared for their match, HappyPool not really ready to lose, and the only NL action of the night not really that dramatic. Here's your timeline for the AL stuff:

7:03 - Both 7:00 matches start

7:10 - DP_Chris_Dogg scratches and Wendy finishes for the win. (HP 1 - 0 DP)

7:18 - Moe beats LuckyCandi. (LPL 1 - 0 8BR)

7:24 - Stylezchild ties HP-DP at 1.

7:26 - Ruffer beats jadakiss. (LPL 2 - 0 8BR)

7:32 - Joker beats whitehead. (LPL 3 - 0 8BR)

7:35 - Bryan beats davinder. (HP 2 - 1 DP)

7:42 - NoxLimit DQed for being ineligible. (HP 2-2 DP)

7:48 - Tyler [bongman] keeps 8BR alive by beating Phill_ip. (LPL 3 - 1 8BR)

7:57 - Fergie defeats _pascal_. (HP 3 - 2 DP)

8:09 - Rizken beats copenhagen8us. (LPL 4 - 1 8BR) 8BallRunners eliminated from the Playoffs, LPL would win 5-2.

8:15 - Mannie [010--010] sends the match to a game 7 decider. (Match tied 3-3)

8:33 - Cavs4life beats Super_Mario_64_. (HP wins 4-3) So, HappyPool has in fact clinched a Playoff spot. With an XPool win, DreamPool is knocked out of the Playoffs. Xpool needs to get through a merciless Quez team however. God this format sucks but I'm too lazy to erase it. So, since I didn't have a timeline for HS-AF, because the Sox game was on, here's what you need to know -_-.

AbsoluteFinest took care of the HotShotz pretty quickly tonight winning 5-2. So, Absolute Finest would win the Mountain Division if Pool Pimps pull off something against the Hustlers. But, that's not likely. HotShotz have clinched the #7 seed in the NL half of the Playoffs, and I'm tired so this whole post blows.

Here's how the playoffs would look if the season ended right now.

AMERICAN LEAGUE
#8 BritPool @ #1 Pool Outlaws [Locked] (Reg. Season: PO won 6-1)
#5 HappyPool @ #4 Lava Pool Lounge [Locked] (Reg. Season: LPL won 4-3)
#6 DreamPool @ #3 Pool Fiction [Locked] (Reg. Season: PFN won 6-1)
#7 MadSkillz @ #2 QueBallz [Locked] (Reg. Season: MZ won 6-1)

NATIONAL LEAGUE
#8 Pool Legends @ #1 Absolute Finest (Reg. Season: PL won 4-3)
#5 Pool Masters @ #4 Pool Hustlers (Reg. Season: PM won 4-3)
#6 TourneyPool @ #3 PoolFighters (Reg. Season: To Be Played Thursday Night)
#7 HotShotz [Locked] @ #2 Regul8ors (Reg. Season: REG won 4-3)

So, you can see a couple upsets quite possible in that bracket. If PL hangs on though they'll likely face PH but another PL-AF match really would be something to watch. Speaking of upsets...

Season 3. LPL against PoolFighters. You'll recall (some of you) PoolFighters pretty much stole one (disagree, please) in Season 2 over HappyPool, catching a break in game 3 which led to a 7-game win over HP. Well, LPL up 3-2 on PoolFighters...LPL ends up timing out. Would PF have won had LPL had a full 7? Maybe. But I'm gonna call it a steal anyways. Basically PF sneaks into the AL Championship game for the 2nd time in a row, only to be cut down by eventual runners-up in the World Series, PoolFiction. LPL over PF would've been a huge upset. But hey, if PF didn't survive, we wouldn't have had an hour-long Game 7 between Mick and Dogz.

It's late (or early) and I'm just getting back into making summary posts -_- gimme some slack for a day -_-
