Bladerunners Move Into First Place; Highlanders Clinch Post-Season Slot





The Bladerunners and Severed Heads became the first teams this year to crest 700pts but the Bladerunners did it while moving into first place in the Predator Cup race. The duo continue to try and pull ahead of the pack, the gap from 2nd to 3rd is now almost 15pts, but the Wolves are also making a run at the leaders so this may prove to be more than just a two team race.

In the Challenge Cup there are only two weeks of regular season games left and only three teams are unable to concoct a scenario where they slip into the post-season. The Highlanders are the only team to have booked their ticket and they have the best shot at finishing first. The Severed Heads haven't guaranteed a playoff position yet, they need to win one of their last two, and can even finish first (but they have to win their two, have the Highlanders lose their two and beat the Highlanders in this week's game by more than 6.12pts). The Shadowmen are also in control of their fate as a win in their final two games gets them in. The math gets really messy from here on out but essentially everyone else will need some help to make the playoffs happen and I will conceed now that the schedule may make it impossible for certain combinations to actually result in making the playoffs (ie, two teams that need to lose for a thrid team to make it may be playing each other in the next two weeks) so if I'm giving your fans false hope - my bad.

I have also reviewed the Omnivore baseline and it is now accurate as of today.

Trade lines are now open and Thornton and or Pronger are on the table - option a is for stuff to try and close that 15pt gap; option b is for a good return of futures. Offers that are never sent will not be responded to.
