Standings: the race is on

Check the standings here. Once again, it’s tight in our division. It's a two-way race for first, with a bunch of teams scrambling for second. Take a look at the table:

1st – ClareAndDons, who are 5-1-2 with 17 points. They are done now, no
more games, no more points. They hold the tie-breaker over us due to their
+14 GDA versus our +9.

2nd – Goleros. We are 4-0-2 with 14 points. We have two games remaining against Tsunami and Red Tape. We have a good shot at first.

3rd – Flirts, who are 4-2-1 with 13 points. They have one game remaining versus Red Tape, which means they will almost certainly finish with 16 points. We hold the tie-breaker over them due to our head-to-head win.

4th – Quicksilver, who are 3-2-1 with 10 points. They have two games remaining against Tsunami and the Crew. Thankfully, they lost this past weekend so they can finish with a maximum of 16 points. We hold the tie-breaker over them due to our +9 GDA versus their +2.

5th – Tsunami, who are 3-3-0, with 9 points. Tsunami has two games left and can finish with as many as 15 points. We need to wait until this weekend to determine who has the tie-breaker.

What does all this mean for us? We have two games to play. If we get one more win, we are assured 2nd place. If we get a win and a tie, we are assured of 1st. If we fail to win a game, however, we could drop in the standings. Let us not forget about Tsunami, who always plays us well and can overtake us in the standings. We need to win that game. And then, we’ll have to close out strong versus Red Tape, who will be very hungry for a win.

What are the stakes? The first and second place finisher at the end of the regular season get a bye in the playoffs. The winner of the regular season and the winner of the playoffs are promoted to the next division.

The race is on. Let’s finish first!
