Big Changes In The Middle; Shadowmen Celebrations Fade As Game 2 Gets Under Way; Scourge Resurge

The official stats for last week are now included in the stats below. The Shadowmen did indeed pull off a narrow (.17pt) victory against the Bladerunners in game one of the Challenge Cup semi-finals but are in tough in game two. The Highlanders continue their dominance of the Severed Heads as their second match gets underway and look to be sweeping the series.

The Predator Cup standings see a lot of movement. The Highlanders still lead the Bladerunners but the real movement is lower down. The Wolves pass the Shadowmen and move into 4th place. The Personal Vendetta pass the Severed Heads to move into 6th place. The Lost Boys and Knights Templar both pass the Ramapithicines, who fall to 10th while the Scourge gain some ground on the Edge.

The Scourge have also moved back into 2nd in the Omnivore standings and now sit only a handfull of points behind the Bladerunners.

The unofficial stats, as of Tuesday's action, are as follows:

Looks like the middle spots will be fought over to the final week, though the only major outcome will be the # of ballots in the lottery...

The Wolves and Shadowmen look to have a similar battle for 4th/5th. Major last minute wheeling and dealing by the Scourge look to make two races very interesting down the stretch - The battle to avoid the Herbivore (largely Scourge vs Edge, though a Ramapithic collapse is a possibility a la KT last year), and the Omnivore - a three horse race for the most part between the Bladerunners, Highlanders, and Scourge...

Oh yes, and the Predator Cup race... :-)

The final standings also affect PrD picks. Personally I would love to see the Edge not only get out of last but approach the Severed Heads - making the first-round pick exchange an even better deal for Collin.

The gap is 66pts and with 5 weeks to go it's a huge amount of distance to make up but a couple more weeks like last week (Edge 57pts, Severed Heads 25pts) should do the trick :-)
