International Cue Addiction Vs Magic Pool
This should be a close match, as it could go either way. Both sides have simlilarly good players and depending on how they match up will prove the outcome in my opinion. ICA has the home advantage, but we all know that croz will go first, so maybe Chris can use that to a little advantage and match accordingly. In my opinion the match either starts out 1-1(craig & jordy normally auto wins) or they play each other and decide the fate of the match itself.
3-2( ICA)
Freedom Vs Extreme Pool Competitors
This should be an easy going match, no doubt the only time Epc ever has a drama free match b/c both sides have so much homo love for each other. Both sides have good players, damn near even honestly so it should be a close match. They each come in as 1-1, but afterwards..someone will be under .500 , who will it be?
3-2(Epc)
Pool Fiction Vs Sexy Poolers
Relatively easy match to predict in my opinion, but who cares lets write some on it anyways. They have some history, mostly PFN beating them and shaming them right out of Wpc last season. Will SP have enough to get revenge or will PFN keep it's older brother strangle hold on them?
4-1(Pfn)
Ultimate Outlaws Vs Brit Pool
This should be a close match pairing two lesser teams in GIT, and it could even be drama filled..just depends on how everyone is feeling tomorrow. As far as skilled players, they both have 1 l think, maybe 2..I'm not really certain.
3-2( Uo)
Straight Shots Vs Money In The Bank
This pairs the two top teams, for now, in GIT together and the winner will hold the top spot alone afterwards. SS is the stronger team if you go by known player, but MIB has been shocking us all so another win this week isnt out of the question although l do think it is a long shot by any means.
3-2(SS)

Week 2
Magic Pool Vs Straight Shots
In a match-up of last seasons Championship Finals, this could be another close one. SS comes into the match as a bit of a suprise, as they won last week and make it seem as they will be able to challenge for the top spot again this season with the likes of thier newcomers. They beat UO 4-1 last week, with only thier new captain Kazi losing, leaving Mike,Jamie, & Pita to pick up the needed wins against a less than good UO squad. Magic Pool comes into the match wanting to win, needing to win and they could do so. After losing to Epc in an "upset" last week, they should try thier best this week to get the win. Same match-up, same result?or can MP finally beat SS?
3-2(Mp)
Money In The Bank Vs Ultimate Outlaws
This pits last seasons last place finisher against this seasons probable last place finisher. MIB comes in soaring, as they took out the mighty PFN last week for thier first win in GIT...Nicely done guys. Ultimate Outlaws lost last week to SS and should do the same this week, although l can see it being a much closer match.
3-2(MIB)
Brit Pool Vs Pool Fiction
Brit Pool is wanting to prove early and often that they do belong with the Top Teams in GIT, and they helped thier case last week by beating Freedom. They have some pretty good talent on thier side, but can they perform well each week?Well, they are going to have to give thier best again this week to get another win. PFN lost last week to MIB, something not many people could have saw coming, especially with all the "stars" leaving MIB as of late, again..way to go guys. They will want to prove thier worth this week and l think they can, but l wont be suprised for two losses in a row either.
3-2(PFN)
Sexy Poolerz Vs Freedom
Sexy Poolerz beat the most glorified team ever last week and pretty much knocked out all the talk and hype when it happened. Freedom comes in on a somewhat upset, and look to get back on track this week. Both sides have good players, just depends on how they will perform this week and l see Freedom getting back on track and taking out a good SP side, in a very close match.
3-2(FR)
Extreme Pool Competitors Vs International Cue Addicton
ICA lost last week after they came a little high, no doubt thier addiction led to some poor play and they were beaten rather decently. I'm sure they will come into the match this week wanting to win a little more and do that they very well could. Epc comes in on a high note after beating Magic Pool last week and sit atop the standings for now. They need to come correct this week and keep all the bullshit seperate(yeah right) if they want to win again this week. Should be a close one.
3-2(Ica)

Season 2 - Week 1
Extreme Pool Competitors Vs Magic Pool
Week 1 sets off a tough start for Epc, as they face what should be all of the top teams first, then the cupcakes later. Coming into the season they lose some key players, but add others into the roster to help make up the difference. With players like Stephen, Cam, Timm & Mikey returning, Add in Daru, Gus, and Jason they should be just as dangerous this season, As long as they show up each week. Magic Pool returns the Core of thier lineup, the one that lead them to the Playoffs and the Finals last season. This should be a close match, and I'm sure Chris will match his players with an expert eye as Magic Pool has Home Advantage. Could and Should go to the wire.
3-2 (Epc)
International Cue Addiction Vs Sexy Poolerz
Well, ICA is coming into interleague play with as much hype as any newly formed team ever, and look to show well against Sexy Poolerz. If they dont worry about thier reputation too much they should take this one with ease, although a little shit talking could get them off track and make it closer than wanted. Sexy Poolerz came in late last season and barely missed the playoffs, but a full season should see them do well, just not too well.
4-1 (Ica)
Freedom Vs Brit Pool
Freedom reloads with some nice female talent after not loosing too much in the offseason while Brit Pool re-enters as a wildcard. Highly over rated last season, they look to perform better this season and do that they jjust might. Pulling off a win against last seasons regular season champs would be big here and if they play well they just might do that.
3-2(Fr)
Pool Fiction Vs Money In The Bank
Pfn comes into GIT with a strong lineup and want to do well in thier first season, while MIB wants to do any better than last season by getting some wins. This shouldnt be a close match, yet will be the most civilized of them all today.
4-1(Pfn)
Ultimate Outlaws Vs Straight Shots
UO is back for season two, and look to build upon what they did last season while Straight Shots are under new management, both Captain and player-wise. IF SS shows with the people they can, this could get ugly, but as it took them a few weeks last season, l see it being the same this season.

Season 2 Preview
Welcome to Season Two of Global InterLeague Trophy!!!
Season One went down without any major disfunctions and ran very smoothly considering it being it's first season and the different gamestyles that could be used. I applaud the Admins on thier Cam Rules, anything short of obvious cheating on cam is pretty much cool as long as you cam your game. No cheap wins for misplaced timestamps, or hidden icons(Both oddly kept by other interlgs), fore it is to dispell cheating/aiming that we use cam isnt it?Exactly.
There are some changes this season, Most notably the Reporting Violations will be enforced this season. Last season you could get away with passing the deadline and getting your report in late, this season you have 48 hours to report and only One Warning, after that it will be a week in the box. It's not hard to report, and 48 hours gives you plenty of time to get it in or notify an admin if you can't report..so don't get pissy if you fail to report within the large timeframe.
There have been updates to the "Wild cards" for this season, something the admins seem to want to do every season, which is pretty cool. This season the "Last Pocket" wildcard is out and in comes the "Pyschic 8" Wildcard. At the beggining of the game, you get to choose your opponets 8ball pocket, home team choosing first and they cannot be the same. A scenario that I'm sure will come up has been addressed already, if the 8ball becomes stuck in your opponets pocket leaving you no shot, its to be played on..it can only be a re-rack if your opponet so chooses to allow it, not manditory.
Other New Additions include a Weekly Guest Predictor and the Welcoming of Rich as admin.
If you are interested in becoming a "guest predictor" for a week, then contact Chris or Joe via YIM and set it up with them.
Now for the PreSeason Rankings :)
#1 - International Cue Addiction
A new league to GIT, with some old familiar faces. Trey leads his group of followers onto the table with his head held high, as he has some real talent behind him. Joining him for this season are a few MVP candidates from last season(Nick & Craig), as well as consistent winners such as Shan,Croz, and Nish. With a full lineup each week of high caliber players it should prove to be a good season for them and they should wrap up a playoff spot earlier than most.
#2 - Pool Fiction
Another new league to GIT that should do very well is Pool Fiction. Lead by the incrediable sexy Kerry :), this team includes weekly winners like Miz, Lewis,Brent and Andy. Showing with a full team will not be a problem for Kerry, and they should do well matching up with the other leagues week in and week out.
#3 - Freedom
Last years Regular Season Champs will look slightly different this season, but should still perform rather well. As Petey loses craig, he gains Hope..though not normally a good switch, Hope has been playing pretty lights out of late, taking it to the guys daily and winning. If he keeps players in Corey and Adam they should stay near the top, though I'm not certain what his lineup looks like for GIT, so they could finish abit lower than 3rd overall.
#4 - Magic Pool
Last Seasons runner-up to SS looks to have another good season and them doing well is highly likely. The feature players like Jordy and Chris, who will both compete for MVP again this season, along with players like Anil, they can beat up on the weaker teams and compete with the top teams. Consistency all season will be thier key, as they look to finish strong and make another good run in the playoffs.
#5 - Extreme Pool Competitors
Epc lost some key players, but adds a few new faces to keep competing. I'm not sure how Jack does it, but he always seems to be able to reload after each season with decent talent and compete. With the likes of Daru and Gus, along with Killah Jason,Stephen and Timm, they could and should compete with the top leagues all season long..Consistency will be key as it always is with jacks squads.
#6 - Straight Shots
Last seasons eventual champions will look to compete again this season, but with some different talent. As they lose players like Nick and Shan, they gain Mike and Matt, who can both win some games for Nigel each week. I don't see them performing well enough for a top spot, but should make the playoffs and could suprise us again this season..who knows.
#7 - Brit Pool
Brit Pool has a new captain in pommy, who left mib just as we were getting used to the idea of mib finally competing. They might bring a good lineup each week, I'm not certain though if they do they will compete well against the top teams. Having a full team each week will be key, as l see them having trouble over an 18 week season. Prove me wrong.
#8 - Sexy Poolerz
This league had issues bringing all of thier quality players to the table each week, as we saw Pete jump out to a 6-0 start, then go idle for 3 weeks..it's all about how they will show each week that determines where they will finish. They could be a decent league each week or they could not, only time will tell.
#9 - Money In the Bank
Last seasons last place finisher had enough tough luck to last us all a lifetime. By far more 2-3 losses than anyone else, things could have looked alot different in the standings via a single win/lose for this league. Showing with a full team each week is never an issue, nor is having a respectful group of players but that doesnt get you everywhere and I see them finishing near the bottom again. Goodluck :)
#10 - Ultimate Outlaws
Everyones favorite team to hate on looks to compete again this seaons, although it seems they are slowly losing all the skilled players they have to other teams slowly. They can pull off a few upsets but also lose to the worst of teams so who knows honestly. Over 18 weeks anything can happen and I'm sure it will..so goodluck and have fun :)
