Spotlight Matches
MONDAY: PoolFiction @ 8BallRunners - With PFN in this bit of a skid they're having, Mick said he would be very selective with this match. 8BR without miz after he got booted off the team, with good reason, well if my memory serves me right they've only won 1 match when he hasn't been on the team. They'll have runningwildhorse back...Which probably won't mean much. but this is still a winnable match for 8BR, and compared to PF-BA, and BE-AF...Well this match has a lot more playoff relevance.
TUESDAY: Pool Legends @ BlackSilver - BlackSilver needs this one a little more than Pool Legends, though both really could use the win. I said the Pacific would be a lot more challenging than the Mountain before this season started...Not the case. BS is 3-6, still alive in the Playoff hunt, but they may need to win out. They'll all be watching the Regs-HS match I'm sure and begging for the Regs to win. Then BS would only be a game out of 4th place. Legends? They're already 1 game away, with BBM at 4-5, and they have to play Pool Hustlers, a team who has made arguably the best turn-around so far this season. break and Run has a winnable match with Pool Pimps also, what fun it would be to see 3 or 4 teams with 4 wins all tied for 4th in the Pacific? man that'd be some drama, and I don't mean "wahhh wahhh I lost" drama.
WEDNESDAY: TourneyPool @ LuckyPool - Notice TourneyPool hasn't gotten a lot of mention? Notice they're also 3rd in the Pacific at 5-4? Wow. These guys were the first win for PoolPals, and since then have really stepped it up. They've got a little bit of fire brewing under them though, with that potential 4-way tie situation. A win would make them feel a lot more comfortable. As for LKP, 6 wins is like garlic to them. 5 wins is their best, finishing the last 2 seasons 5-8. They seemed to be on pace for making the Playoffs and maybe even winning the Mountain. Now they're 4-4 and have the match with TourneyPool and then the makeup with Bearskins the next night. Win those and they'll really jump back into the Playoff picture.
THURSDAY: HappyPool @ UnitedPool - Interesting match here. CueKeepers heavily favored to lose to PO, XPool doesn't have a walk in the park taking on MadSkillz, HappyPool could jump right back into the fray if ucantcme's shooting (and captaining) can lead them over UnitedPool. it would set up a likely 3-way tie at 5-5, which by the way would be for 4th place. Then you have UnitedPool...5-4. Great right? Well...All their wins, minus a 5-2 over XPool, have been 4-3. They're 27/36 in match records, that's less than LPL at 4-5, and 8BR and ElitePool at 3-6. It's also only 1 more than 2-7 StraightShots and BritPool. Yes they've won the close ones, but if HappyPool can come right out gunning at them, HP may be able to make that 5-5 3way a reality. LPL wouldn't mind drawing level with UnitedPool...UP owns the head to head with a 4-3 win, and LPL has -6 WildAngels this week. 5-5's all around guys let's do it!
FRIDAY: Harrisburg Senators (Nationals) @ Portland Sea Dogs (Red Sox) AA Baseball - SEA DOGS 9-0 AS OF RIGHT NOW WITH THEIR WIN OVER TRENTON THUNDER (YANKEES) TONIGHT :D I'M GOIN TO THE FRIDAY GAME ;)
SATURDAY: Duh. -_-
New Cam Rule
On your task manager, at the top where it says File, Options, View, etc. Click "View", move your mouse over "Update Speed", and set it to Normal or High. That MUST be shown at the beginning and end of all Cam tapes now, though I do expect since it's a new rule there will be some leniency with it. So there ya go guys, you want your legit games? Don't get DQed :) Of course, you can always record full screen and avoid all that task manager, update speed, etc. stuff. Things are so peaceful in the reg. jump, and care-free :)
