Week 14

As the close of the Regular Season of GIT comes about, it's time to reflect on the past 13 weeks.
As a whole it has been a very good first season, coming without much conflict and swift action when something has arisen(Nice Job Guys..really). We have saw some dominate performances on the tables every week, as well as some upsets and just when you think everything has settled some in the standings, it gets shaken up again. Up until late this season, Freedom has dominated everyone with their only losses coming by way of 3-2 Defeats to Extreme Pool Competitors. They have since lost 3 in a row and hope to right that ship going into the playoffs where their roster shortens, yet gets better. We have seen teams like Straight Shots, who limped into GIT the first few weeks then came on strong to pull out a tie for 1st, after much speculation that Nigel didn't take this Interleague serious he has proved everyone wrong. MIB has to be the Best last place team ever. They have been on the wrong side of so many close matches and never gave up hope, not to mention the most respectful squad all season long by far. Nicely done!

Now for the final weeks predictions!


Brit Pool Vs Extreme Pool Competitors

Jack & Company have managed a good team all season long, even with a few bumps along the way and a no show against UO, they currently sit in good position to make the playoffs and hope to do some damage with new players getting eligable this last week. Brit Pool has been quite the let down this season, with most of the predictors having them ranked #1 preseason, they havent lived up to the hype..it happens. A win here or there and they could have easily been in the playoff run, but they currently see themselves in 7th position. They could play spoiler here and try to keep jack and company from possibly making the playoffs, and keeping them from a higher final season rank. The first matchup between these two, BP won 5-0 and shocked the entire room as even Ant lost that match. This one should prove a little closer and I'm giving the nod to Epc, who look to go into the playoffs on a roll.
3-2(Epc)


Money In the Bank Vs Freedom

This is an important matchup for Freedom, as they have been on quite the skid and don't want to go into the playoffs with a -4 streak beside them. If they do, l don't think it will affect them much, but all the same they will try to close out on a positive note. MIB is the League of the Season IMO, with Rich & Company sitting in last, yet still a strong team. I have said a few times this season that they could be a very good squad and after a long season in GIT, where they were always respectful, always on time and always competing, They have been bitten by the Karma bug and look to destroy some people in PRO, with a new/old mix of players creating a very potent lineup. Watch out for them next season!
3-2(FR)


Straight Shots Vs Ultimate Outlaws

SS comes into this last week bidding for that #1 spot, and could very easily get it after what seemed to be a disappointing season for the early on. They have came back with a flair and look to finish strong and do some damage in the playoffs. As for UO, they have saw there share of drama this past season but seem to be on a positive level now, competing well the last few weeks and look to continue to do so this week and spoil SS's hopes of taking #1. Should be a good match, one deffinately worth watching but l think SS takes it and goes into the playoffs strong.
3-2(SS)


Magic Pool Vs Sexy Poolerz

Magic Pool came into GIT wanting to make a stand and that they have done, showing the old squad can still compete and compete well. They currently sit 2nd in the standings and have a shot at taking #1 with Freedoms nose dive the last few weeks. Sexy Poolerz came into GIT a little late, but looked to compete early on and are suprisingly out of playoff contention currently, but could still make it with a strong win. This is a battle of who wants it more what more, Does Magic Poll want #1 or does SP want in the playoffs..lets watch and see :)
3-2(Mp)

Week 13

Sexy Poolerz Vs Brit Pool

Sp hasnt played like they want the playoffs, and BP would love to help knock them out with a somewhat upset win. Will Sexy Poolerz play there way into the playoffs, or out?We'll see, but I'm not certain.
3-2(Sp)


Ultimate Outlaws vs Magic Pool

MP has the chance to clinch a playoff berth this week with a win over UO, and that's not asking alot against this version of the UO squad, who has underperformed all season.
3-2(MP)


Freedom Vs Straight Shots

Coming off a tough loss to Epc, in which they won the remaininf two games to steal it away, SS will want to come in stroking it ;) and try to take out Frredom, who has already claimed a playoff spot and couldnt care less.
3-2(Fr)


Extreme Pool Competitors Vs Money In The Bank

Epc pulled out a great win last week and look to continue to stride into the playoffs on a winnning note against MIB. I think they will take care of business earlier and often and put this away fast.
4-1(Epc)

Week 12

Brit Pool vs Money in the Bank

These two teams sit in the cellar of the GIT Standings and on the BP side it has been quite the disappointment, while on the MIB side, just a case of not having that little something extra to push them over the top each week. This will be a close match, but l see MIB taking the final nod with some of thier new players delivering good games.
3-2(MIB)


Straight Shots vs Extreme Pool Competitors

SS is coming into this match on a hot streak, and would love to avenge the 5-0 spanking they got last time they faced off with Epc and could very well do so. Jack and Company have been good, have been bad, and just havent been there at all this season, but sit at 6-5, tied with Sexy Poolerz. They need a win this week in order to be a little more comfortable for playoffs, while a win for SS would have them sitting pretty. Should be a close one, but lm taking Epc.
3-2(Epc)


Magic Pool vs Freedom

Through 11 weeks of GIT, Freedom has found themselves with a comfortable lead in 1st place. Not bad for a team with no listed captains ehh? They are coming off a odd loss to SP last week, and will want to leave no doubt this week. MP is coming off a close win against Epc, in which it went down to the wire, with Chris coming out on top to take the 3-2 win. This could be a close match, it could be a beating like the first meeting, it depends on how much each side really wants it.
3-2(FR)


Sexy Poolerz vs Ultimate Outlaws
UO has been a disappointment in GIT, they usually compete well but just cant find the missing key to closing out matches and competing for a playoff spot with the others, as they have already been eliminated. Sexy poolerz can still make the playoffs, though they dont seem as strong to me as they were when we started out. Will UO upset them and throw them into a tight spot concerning playoffs, or will Sp take care of business and take out this underperforming UO squad?
3-2(UO)

Week 11

It's been quite a break for some players with the holiday layover in GIT, as well as UIC, so will everyone be able to shake the rust off quickly and be in top game form, or will we see some sloppy play and intresting matches because of such..Who knows, but it should be a good day being that we are playing once again.
Goodluck everyone and Have fun :)
