Canada Tournament Coverage Season 19

Thought I would write one as an example. Anyone can write about any matchup just BBmail me before you START writing so I can tell you if someone has taken that one already. Anyways,

(46)keswick Killers(25025) @ (32)sherbrookers(33472)

Sitting 5th in the tough Big 8 of II.4, keswick Killers are one of 4 remaining teams from II.4. This team is in the midst of battling for the final playoff spot and are only 2 games back of 3rd place in their respective conference. This is the furthest they have ever reached in the cup since they started in Season 6 and continuing on will not be easy. This will be the teams first opponent in div II or Nasimith as their hardest game prior to this was a close 2 point win on the road against Silver Palominos. Led by Pavlo Kalpadakis(16710978), this team has a balanced attack and tends to switch it up all the time.

sherbrookers are in a similiar boat. 5th place in a difficult Big 8. Sitting 8-5 this team can finish anywhere from 6th - 3rd, it all depends on how the season pans out for them. This season sherbrookers has broken an unbelievable streak of 5 straight seasons of being knocked out in the round of 128. Thats right every season of this teams existence has resulted in a loss in the round of 128. Crazy stuff. This season is already a success, how much of one remains to be seen. With not a single close game all season during their cup run, sherbrookers are in for a challenge. Veroljub Topalovic(10919382) has led this teams Push the Ball offense all season.

My thoughts? Both teams have a couple of difficult games this week. It really depends on where their priorities are set. I see a LI M2M from keswick Killers and a PTB, 2-3 from sherbrookers. I think keswick Killers can pull this one out and add a QF appearnce to their resume.

The Hounds, despite punting Tuesday's league game and saving their best lineup to play at home to the scaled down Pain Train Zombies, will go down to defeat tonight.

The End.

PS, here's hoping there isn't a major injury involved...

And we are down to the Elite 8!!!

Canada Tournament Coverage Season 19

(20)Clodhoppers (24964) vs (24)sherbrookers (33472)

3 Div2 teams remain in the Elite 8 and 2 of which will square off on Thursday night.

The Clodhoppers have never advanced past the Sweet 16, having only achieved that feat once in S17.
Led by double guards Dietlinde (14721284) and Maconi (14745074), the team sits in 2nd place in II.4 Big 8 conference. Its cup run has been filled with bot draws, with it's only challenge coming from an early favorite to promote, the Cerebral Assassins (33522), which the Clodhoppers surprised the competition with a CT vs TIE finish.
With both The Hounds (25054) and Headless Thompson Gunners (33296) ahead of it in the standings, it looks as though The Clodhoppers are making roster arrangements as a majority of the team has been put on the transfer list. However with that being said, it looks as though The Clodhoppers has saved its best line up for the cup game and with the players on the transfer list due after the game, it is anybody's guess what the manager, krazysilly, has up his sleeves...

Still sitting 5th in the difficult Big 8 of II.1, the sherbrookers has elected to play the starters for the 2 league games this week. But seeing how the starter minutes were limited in the Tuesday games, will the manager, Shergut, stretch the players' minutes just a bit to claim a chunk of the cash prize for winning? OR is the risk too great and will opt to try and fight for a playoff spot and a possible 1st round playoff match up against the aforementioned Cerebral Assassins who are still in contention to win the II.1?

Clodhoppers has the better team and looks poised to take the game after punting the Saturday league game. But Clodhopper has used a CT just a week ago to advance in the cup. With a blowout win and reduced starter minutes for the Tuesday league game, will the sherbrookers put in its A line against the Clodhoppers? Will sherbrookers take a page out of the Clodhoppers play book and play with CT?
Or will the Clodhoppers overrun the sherbrookers B line since Shergut has decided that its more beneficial to the team if the sherbrookers concentrated on a playoff spot?
