A long 21 day wait has withdrawn G-I-T's 8 teams from competing. Except for a few. SS has been playing in wpc defeating an X8B team 5-2, and losing to SP. SP has been rolling in WPC defeating SS and is now in the finals. A few players have been competing in UCC Cam such as; Craig from FR (lost round 2 to sid), steve aka n00b.ski11z from MP (still alive in round 2 opponent tbd), king.2068 from SP (still alive in first round), and myself (losing round 2 to andy).
With that said, coming up in 2 days G-I-T will see who has been keeping uptodate with yahoo pools "yahoo's" and "aiming ball changes." Which leagues will be on there game in the crucial 4 remaining weeks of G-I-T's regular season?? I wish every team a very happy holidays, merry new year, and good luck in the remaining season of Global Interleague Trophy.
Taking a look at the upcoming weeks in GIT I will make my predictions:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Week 11:
Ultimate Outlaws (4-6) vs Brit Pool (3-7)
-Brit pool is on a 3 game skid, along with the 21 day break who knows if they will be ready to play this outlaws team. If trey shows up with the squad ready to go i believe they can take this win. If they want any shot at the playoffs this will be the starting point. If UO wins here brit pool is out of the playoff race indefinately as their best record on out would be 6-8.
I take Brit Pool here 3-2.
Freedom(8-2) vs Sexy Poolerz(5-5)
FR is only on a 2 game win streak defeating BP and UO. SP has been on a roll lately and has been playing during the break. I am going to see this one as an SP upset due to the fact that it is a must win for them. If they take it as seriously as i think they will, SP needs to win this one.
I take Sexy Poolerz here 3-2.
Extreme Pool Competitors(6-4) vs Magic Pool(6-4)
EPC and MP. EPC being a no show 2 (actual) weeks ago and then defeating SP 3-2 shows some drive to win. However 3 new players played (2 of which winning) in their defeat of SP. Magic Pool on the other hand had MIB in the last week of play before the holidays and who knows if they have been playing during the break. I see MP taking a "break" in their play here,
I take EPC here 4-1.
Money In The Bank(2-8) vs Straight Shots(6-4)
As MIB has been a very sporting league this season, I just don't think they will have enough to take down Nigel and his SS troups in this contest. A lot of SS members have been playing throughout the past few weeks and I am unsure of whether MIB has been doing the same.
I take SS here 4-1.
As week 11 will come to a close here would be the standings had all my predictions been right:
FR - 8-3
SS - 7-4
EPC - 7-4
MP - 6-5
SP - 6-5
BP - 4-7
UO - 4-7
MIB - 2-9
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Week 12:
Note: now knowing if the above senarios fall through then the blow senarios will too, here are my predictions:
Brit Pool (4-7) vs MIB (2-9)
MIB could take this win, but I would have a feeling trey and the boys having won week 11, would want to keep their dim playoff hopes alive.
I take Brit Pool here 4-1
SS (7-4) vs EPC (7-4)
This will definately be the game of the week. Whoever wins this match will have a much easier chance at making the playoffs. With only 2 weeks remaining this match will be what separates the best from the rest. This will be a VERY close match but i feel you all must know i have to go with this decision:
I take SS here 3-2 (in game 5 final shannon vs tim.)
MP (6-5) vs FR (8-3)
I believe FR will bounce back from losing to SP in week 11 and secure a playoff spot by winning their 9th match of the season. With only 2 weeks left to go all that will remain up for grabs for FR is playoff home field advantage.
I take FR here 4-1
SP (6-5) vs UO (4-7)
SP should win this one with a playoff birth in sight.
I take SP 4-1.
If week 11/12 were as stated above here would be the standings:
FR - 9-3
SS - 8-4
EPC - 7-5
SP - 7-5
MP - 6-6
BP - 5-7
UO - 4-8
MIB - 2-10
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Week 13:
No predictions just senarios:
FR (9-3) vs SS (8-4)
IF FR wins they clinch a playoff spot and clinch at least a share of the regular season crown.
IF SS wins they clinch a playoff spot and have a shot at the regular season crown.
EPC (7-5) vs MIB (2-10)
IF EPC wins and MP loses they clinch a spot in the playoffs
MIB is out of playoff contention
UO (4-8) vs MP (6-6)
IF MP wins they are still in the chase for a playoff spot and will need to beat SP in week 14 to get in.
UO is out of playoff contention
SP (7-5) vs BP (5-7)
IF SP wins and MP loses they clinch a spot in the playoffs.
IF BP wins they still have a dim shot at making the playoffs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With all of this "could happen, might happen, prediction" business... what it comes down too is weeks 11 and 12 are going to set up a crucial final 2 weeks of G-I-T 1. The last 2 weeks should very well show an exciting and eventful end to the season. Good luck to every team playing in the last 4 weeks. If i were to put a prediction on the final top 4 to this season... it would be this:
1. FR
2. SS
3. EPC
4. SP (Depending on who wins week 14 ... SP / MP)
Hope you all enjoy the read.... - Nick
