Wednesday Night
Atlantic - Sora: Wh-Who's there? Nobody. No Atlantic action tonight :(
Central - Hooded Man: Tied to the darkness...soon to be completely eclipsed. That would just about describe Cue Keepers accurately. CKP possibly looking to end the season on a high note, but uh...Not to be. CKP puts up 6 players, they only get 1 win from trouble41600, who got it off Jammy, all that Season 2 luck catching up to him :( PoolFiction finishes the Season exactly as they started it, they win 6-1. An 11-4, 69/36 finish for PoolFiction who were just about equal in home and away matches. The match by the way lasted only 63 minutes, that's fast for PFN. As for the CueKeepers, they finish at 6-9, 46/59, also about even home and away. PoolFiction now looks ahead to week 1 of the Playoffs, where they take on the #6 seed, who may well be DreamPool. By the way speaking of 6-1...PFN did that to DP also.
Mountain - Hooded Man: There is so very much to learn. You understand so little. A lot of you would not understand me if I said Breakers Alley had a good season. No they couldn't win anything to save their lives, but there is still a reason why if they want to, they should most definately be allowed back in for Season 6. They're a team that never quits. 1 win, double-digit losses, they still brought a team as often as they could, and as far as I could see, they enjoy playing and having fun. Also, they have not been a pure walk0over for everyone as BlackSilver found out. A match just to finish out the season on a strong note for both teams we got a 3-3. But Southern_Pooler of BlackSilver defeats kiss_rulzs, and BlackSilver gets out with the 4-3 vic. So for BlackSilver, they finish 5-10, they actually win a game at home if you can believe that, just their 2nd home win out of 7 matches, and they go 47/58. Breakers Alley, 1-14, lost 13 straight, 30/75...but I think all that matters is they had fun and didn't treat this like it was their whole life. That's something MLP has been lacking quite a bit, and that's why Breakers Alley, if they want to play in Season 6, will be playing in Season 6.
Pacific - 2 matches, BeerBallers need a lot. They need: A 4-3 win, a CHP 4-3 win, and a PL 3-4 loss and guess what? They're in. All 3 teams were 1-1 against each other, would be tied in win/loss, and the tie would then be record in the matches played between the 3 leagues, in which BBM had a 9-5 record. Sora: Wh-What are you talking about? Down 2-3 to Bearskin Eightballers, BBM's Juggulo...finally gets a shot....And he, can, run, a table. We're tied 3-3, can ya get 1 more win to stay alive? YES! Says BenHur (that's Judy's servant, partsguy29) as he beats BearsRU, BBM wins 4-3, they're 6-9, 45/60, and right as that match ends...
ChampionsPool begins their match against BNR. Now if CHP loses 3 in this match they're out. They can win 4-3 and keep BBM alive, or win something like 5-2 and knock BBM out. Or they could always lose to the never-say-quit Break and Runners. That's what it looked like early. Onegusone and FroggyGodess...She's Alaskan! A little eskimo love as BNR takes a 2-0 lead. Lethaled...The guy won the last Reg. Jump of the BLT Season, and he has pretty much 0 way of getting a clean shot on the 8 with 1 ball left. I said pretty much, not absolutely, because only a Sith Lord deals in absolutes! Lethaled doesn't get what he planned but he has a cakewalk shot on the 8, 2-1 CHP still alive, BBM somewhat liking it. Game 4, Ibehappy can possibly finish the table out and tie this at 2...But she freezes, reboots, times out. Yikes 3-1 BNR, CHP is out of the Playoffs but BBM still alive. They'd stay alive as their Captain lvlr_c0mputer...doesn't wanna die! Beautiful shot to get to the 8, leaves himself an easy pot, it's 3-2...BBM still in it, PL sweating. Game 6...kellyhero makes an unplanned double-pot to get to the 8, and she has left a bak from the bottom to top middle...It must be Monopoly, kids because we got a banker in the house! Kellyhero2003, hasn't been the best shot-maker throughout the season but she makes the one that eliminates BeerBallers, defeats ChampionsPool, and gives Pool Legends the #8 seed in the NL Playoffs. BNR would go on to win it 5-2, as redhot adds on, getting a bizarre 8ball wrong pocket win, and here's your records. ChampionsPool: 5-10, 43/62, but they were in the Playoff race until the dire end. BNR, also 5-10, but 45/60, go figure that's what BBM wanted CHP to have, they get out of that nasty 4-game losing skid and end on a 1-game + streak. They shared identical home/away records with CHP. Bearskins, didn't get mentioned, now they will. 3-12, 39/66, but for a league coming in having to play a few weeks of double-matches, they did pretty well. This is what bearskins have averaged in their MLP career, and they may easily raise that win total a few games next season if they return. Should they be allowed back if they want in? Absolutely.
So, just 1 day left in the MLP Regular Season, and there are 3 Playoff spots up for grabs. A spot in the Central, and 2 in the Atlantic. MadSkillz would love to hang onto theirs, but here's the situation. If UnitedPool wins...there is a 3-way tie at 7-8. What does this mean? Well, UnitedPool would've beaten BP and MZ, so therefore UP gets the #3 spot in the Atlantic. From there, it's a 2-way tie between BritPool and MadSkillz. In such a scenario, MadSkillz is actually OUT because BP beat them 4-3 in the Regular Season. So yes, BritPool has actually clinched a Playoff spot, because no matter how the UP-MZ match turns out, they're in! So UP-MZ is your big Play-In game for the Playoffs.I was so afraid we wouldn't see one, but there it is. Who will get it? Oh why can't the clock go any faster?!??! Hooded Man: You do not yet know what lies beyond the door. Nope, the finale is gonna be so unpredictable...But it'll be worth it, I hope. Here's your Playoffs as of...Now!

Hurry up 7:00 Thursday! I hate suspense! Speaking of which...Season 4, Playoff Moment, I only got 2 for ya because...there's only 2 days of summaries left (this and Thursday night.) PoolFiction, up-ending who else? PoolFighters, again. The Outlaws? They take care of business with the Regs. It sets up the first ever World Series rematch. So, PFN-PO, it ended in PO's favor in Season 3...We all know how it ended up in Season 4 but I need something to post after Thursday :) From the end of Kingdom Hearts: Sora: Guys, let's go! :) Have fun kids!
Tuesday Night
Atlantic - The Outlaws finish their season 14-1, 76/29...yes they are your Regular Season Champions. The 5-2 win tonight was just as impressive as about all of the others, the only 2 losses coming after game 4, I'd say their Playoff warmup went very, very well. Now imagine what they'll do to poor [insert 8th seed] when they get Dan back in their lineup. As for those StraightShots, they go out 4-11, 42/63, they lost their last 3, but I have a feeling people may want to watch these guys between seasons. Not much would surprise me.
Central - Just a bunch of sitting around waiting for Wednesday. ZZZZzZzZzZzZz
Mountain - Well, PoolMasters-LuckyPool had all the drama of a PF-LPL Playoff match. LuckyPool ties it at 3-3...We're gonna see a game 7 decider all right! Adrenaline rush! ...LKP times out you lose thanks for playing. -_- Not that a win would've done anything but for a team that's usually a little more organized...Cmon *yawn.* LuckyPool ends at 9-6, 61/44, they end an even 3-3 at home. Speaking of 3-3 at home... PoolMasters are 11-4, 65/40, another sad 3-3 at home but a pimp-slapping 8-1 in away matches. I think they'd absolutely love a few Away matches this post-season. Speaking of pimp-slapping...Pool Pimps were pimp-slacking again tonight as they again show up well short-handed. Not a good way to finish out your MLP career as a league, they most likely won't be making a return visit for season 6, as they lose 1-6 to Pool Hustlers. PLP brought just 2 players, but you need 4 to even have a prayer. 4-11, 35/70, ug...ly. As for the Hustlers, they are your NL Mountain Division Champions, starting from 1-3 they completely reshape the team, and are a TourneyPool win or Regul8or win away from getting the #1 seed in the National League. 12-3 the final record, 69/36, they wind up undefeated in Away matches, and just 4-3 at home...Maybe they don't want that home advantage? Who knows.
Pacific - ...I see London I see France, I see Paris Hilton without pants.
The Playoffs as of now!

Playoff Moment: Oh I dunno...let's just make it a "Duh!" moment because I'm tired. After a 13-0 Regular Season, the Pool Outlaws breeze through the Playoffs losing only 1 match in the World Series, as King_James_ is named MVP for the Outlaws. if I remember right, he too ended perfect on the Season.
Still gettin back to this summary stuff -_- All-Star week is too disorienting =\
