Playoffs: Week 1
The first week of the playoffs are complete, but the semi-final participants are far from decided. Reminder that this group will be decided by points in this round of three, with seed as the only tie breaker. Here are the standings after last week:
| Place | Team | Points | Seed |
| 1 | Green | 2 | 2 |
| 2 | Teal | 2 | 3 |
| 3 | Yellow | 2 | 4 |
| 4 | Gold | 2 | 8 |
| 5 | Black | 1 | 1 |
| 6 | Neon | 1 | 6 |
| 7 | Orange | 0 | 5 |
| 8 | Red | 0 | 7 |
| 9 | Purple | 0 | 9 |
| 10 | Silver | 0 | 10 |
The first two games of the night on March 3rdfeature the four teams that won last week, guaranteeing that we will see a lot of change in the order of these standings after next week.
The first game begins at 6:00 PM with a Teal versus Yellow matchup of the 3rdand 4thseed. Teal leads the season series with a 1-0-1 record against Yellow. This game is followed at 7:00 PM with a Green versus Gold matchup of the 2ndand 8thseed. Green and Gold split their regular season series. The winners of either game are guaranteed to enter the final weekend of this round in 1stor 2ndplace, and in a solid place to lock up a semi-final slot. A loss or a tie here will have them in the mix with many others competing for the final spots.
In the regular season, Black held the advantage over Red in head to head matchups with a 1-0-1 record and the 8:00 PM game will be a rematch between these teams, the 1stand 7thseed. Red needs a win and some help to be in the mix for a semi-final spot, while a Black win will have them securely back in the top 4 of next week’s standings.
Neon and Purple split their regular season contests, and will meet again at 9:00 PM as the 6thand 9thseeds of the playoffs. With a Neon victory and any results that are not a tie in the first two games of the night, Neon will be sitting in the top four going into the final week. While Neon needs only this small ask, Purple needs a victory and a little more help to be in the mix for a semi-final spot in the final week of the round.
Orange has the advantage over Silver in the regular season matchups, with a 1-0-1 record, and they meet again to finish the evening’s games with a 10:00 PM matchup of the 5thand 10thseeds. Both teams will need a victory on this night to keep their hopes alive for a semi-final spot.
