Highlanders Cross 400pt Mark, Knights Templar Last Team Over 300pt Mark





Hi Guys, sorry no post yesterday but the spreadsheet is now becoming too big for my Hotmail account and I'll have to try some changes to the data-transfer plan. Not a big problem but I have a few bugs to work out. That said, I had to pop into the office this morning so here are the stats as of Saturday night.

The Highlanders continue to hold on to their lead and become the first team this season over 400pts. The gap is still close between them and the Personal Vendetta, under 12pts, but there is some separation (just shy of 10pts) now between 2nd and the trio (Bladerunners, Lost Boys and Severed Heads) filling slots 3-5. Another triplet (Ramapithicines, red-hot Wolves and Shadowmen) follow (again, around 10pts) furhter back. The Scourge have had the week's best total so far (43+pts) and have moved 30pts clear of the cellar, passing the Great Whites along the way. As noted in the Title, the Knights Templar have become the last team to cross the 300pt mark but are now almost a 100pts back of the leader.

The Wolves, with the week's 2nd highest total, are currently tied in their game with the Challenge Cup leading Highlanders with only Sunday's games to come. With both the Personal Vendetta and Severed Heads poised to win their games the bunching at the top of the standings looks to get even tighter.

The Severed Heads continue to lead in the Omnivore race but the big change is at the bottom of the standings where the Personal Vendetta have finally (thanks to the WD) been able to begin to recover from the season-opening goaltending fracus that put them so far behind the curve. Expect them to continue to move up the standings in the weeks to come. Because the Vendetta trade so infrequently, it is much harder for them to out-perform thier baseline - which you need to do to gain in the Omnivore - but the WD can have the same effect as a big trade and that is what is happening for them.
