Week 16 Ends with All-Star Game Tie

The Personal Vendetta continue to hold a 20pt lead over the Highlanders as we reach the All-Star break. The Highlanders themselves have a 25pt lead on the Severed Heads/Bladerunners who have jockeyed back-and-forth for third place over the last few weeks. The Shadowmen have taken advantage of a rare poor week by the Scourge to take sole posession of fifth place. The top half of the league, all now with more than 500pts, are separated by less than 90pts but the teams are spreading themselves out.

At the bottom of the table, the Edge and Lost Boys, less than 15 pts ahead, seem destined to challenge for the Herbivore though the Wolves are only 26 pts out of the cellar themselves (a huge change from last year at this time when the Wolves were one of the contenders for their first Cup). While the Great Whites are still well ahead of the bottom slot, there may be some concern about how far they have slid down the standings of late.

In the Omnivore Race the Bladerunners continue to dominate, though the Personal Vendetta are also showing quite well. Everyone else is is "in the red" with the worst offenders being the Wolves and Great Whites.

While the Challenge Cup race has taken the week off, it will begin again soon with the Bladerunners holding off three challengers for the top seed and the Personal Vendetta, Highlanders and Severed Heads all trying to maintain their playoff position.

In this week's All-Star Game the edge in play goes to the Calgary All-Stars but the game itself, for the first time ever, ends in a tie.

I'm off for a week in Mexico so I do not anticipate being able to do stats - though this internet thing seems to be everywhere - but I should be ok starting up again in February.

Have a great time away from your fix and I'll talk to you all soon.
