| Congratulations, and permutations... 041207 | ||||

With just a few days left, you may be wondering who?s going to sneak those final playoff spots. Well fret no more good sirs! Div 5A Buff, 2oo, Ryska Posten & 1 team out of Bukkake Samurai & JohnBauer Quakers JBQ?s final match vs bottom team Passive Warriors has been voided; JBQ?s hopes lie in persuading the Ukrainians to play the game. Div 5B Clan Cube Squad, Sad troops & 2 teams from Vadrigar, Masters of Quake Maniacs, Sympozium & New Quake Order There?s a fair few unplayed matches in 5B so there are a number of permutations. VE and MQM have the advantage of ?points in the bank? and also having 2 games left. If Triple X beat MQM, they will go (temporarily at least) into 4th spot. Sympozium and New Quake Order can both take a playoff place with 1 more win, but are depending on the results of other games as well. Div 4A Easy to kill, Shadow Minions, Dreadful Offensive Squirrels & 1 from Fudoh, MP, Ignoramus & SSC-B Fudoh are favourites for this one if they can just play 1 or 2 games this week. If not, they will most likely be removed and MP will take their spot. Ignoramus and SSC-B only need 1 win to get into the playoff spots but their recent activity suggests that they won?t even play this week. Div 4B Be Evil, Postal Justice, Clan Metally Troopers & 1 from Da Quakking Manjakks & Eradication Instincts Defined EID need to hope that they can play Madbastards this week; if they can beat them and mjoelktand 2-0, and take at least 1 point from Be Evil, then they are assured of a playoff spot, if only because they beat DQM on Sunday (7 points through 2 x 2-0 and 1 x 1-2 would put them level on points and map difference with both CMT and DQM; EID would therefore be 4th). Div 3A VVV, Thangorodrim & 2 from Apocalpyse 2000, Hippushnik, PMS & Olw A2K are almost certain of a playoff place because in order for more than 1 team to overtake them, the Russian team ufar needs to play and lose against 2 of Hips, PMS & Olw. Unless Olw can play this game, they have no chance of making it. Hips & PMS have 2 games left; one against ufar and the other against each other. If that game is played, it will decide the 4th playoff place. Div 3B Assassins, Osams, Rabbit Dogs & 1 from Just For Fun, Damneds & Klatch It?s simple; only 2 teams can overtake Rabbit Dogs, who are in 3rd. These teams are Damneds and Klatch. Klatch need to win their last 2 games to make it to the playoffs, and guess who they must play? Rabbit Dogs & Damneds! If Damneds win vs Klatch, they will take 4th spot, but if Klatch wins and fail to beat RD, JFF will hang on to their playoff spot. Div 2A El?intarha, Boefje, MNY & 1 from Oblivion and Ax3 Ax3?s activity has fallen away in the last few weeks, so it seems unlikely that they will take the 9 points they need to make it into 4th place, especially as their remaining games include matches vs MNY and Boefje. Div 2B Veterans, Suddendeath & 2 from Toolo Locals, UPS, Death Dealers & Suspected Suspected just need to beat Death Dealers to go into 3rd place; they should then be able to lose vs UPS, although it could come down to map difference. If D2 lose to Suspected, then UPS just need to win one of their games (Suspected or Ancient Gods). If D2 are victorious over Suspected though, UPS would need to beat Suspected to be certain of a playoff spot. Ancient Gods thought they could make it, but recent results have made that impossible. AG would need to beat UPS to have the requisite number of points to be in a playoff spot, but they would only be there on map difference. They would have to hope that Death Dealers lost their last game in order to stay in 4th place, but if D2 did lose that match, then Suspected would leapfrog both D2 AND AG. Confused? You will be. Div 1A LegeArtis, Clan Malfunction, Hard Guns Crew & 1 from Fragomatic & Tribe of Tjernobyl. If ToT want a playoff place, they have to beat Fragomatic and hope that Fragomatic don?t beat HGC. Whether either of these games will happen is anyone?s guess, and even if they do go ahead, one would still have to give Fragomatic the edge. Div 1B Griffins Tappra Gossar, Slackers, Firing Squad & 1 from Game Over & Freedom Freedom have 5 unplayed games and need 10 points from these (3 wins and a 2-1 loss would do) to take a playoff spot. However it?s a bit of a big ask for them to play 5 matches in the space of 6 days when they have only managed 4 in 9 weeks. 14 comments |

| After an impressive walkover victory by RD div3b has become quite exciting! | ||||
|
||||
| Why should RD be punished for PHC becoming idle? It's not like they wouldn't have beaten them anyway. | ||||
|
||||
| Good job slick.
Btw gaz do you actually get to do any work at work? (the irony of me typing this whilst at work doesnt escape me). |
||||
|
||||
| Freedom will have to beat us to get to the playoff, I think our kenyaskills (tm) will prevent that. | ||||

| its getting interesting in group 1b...fs can now refuse to play gtg, meaning that gtg will have to persuade freedom to play their last game (in order to advance past fs that is). lets hope fs-gtg manage to play their game, after all, it is the game which people have been looking forward to the most in this group. | ||||
|
||||
| Razor told me last night that he hoped to play the FS-GTG game. | ||||
|
||||
| The Damned cant possibly over take us? Or am i missing something? | ||||
|
||||
| My mistake; I meant that only 2 clans can get into the playoffs from outside the playoffs, but that they can't BOTH get in. | ||||
|
||||
| eid for playoffs? now only 1 point left \o/ | ||||
|
||||
