Congrats to everyone on the conclusion of another successful regular season in the TBFL! Most of the Playoff teams had been determined, but we did again come down to the last week to know the winners of two divisions and the final seedings:
Hurricanes getting hot late and sweeping his division foes ties him for best record in the league and gives him the Buccaneer Division title in his rookie campaign. By way of a 7 pt victory over the Cows in Week 4 – they claim the #1 seed and a Bye for the Wildcard Weekend.
South Park Cows have literally limped through the last three weeks to claim their second Bandit Division crown, the #2 seed, and a badly needed Bye for the Wildcard Weekend.
After a record setting trouncing in Week 12, UO Grandmasters managed to pull it back together this week and secure their third Storm Division title and hang on to the #3 Seed.
As the only at large team to make 9 wins, perrenial playoff participant Runs N Throses claims the #4 Seed and will host a home game.
Fudgie Whales was able to beat out the rival Marauders this week to hang in the Playoff hunt. A 4 point victory over the Thrashers in Week 4 makes them the #5 Seed.
And the most remarkable story in the TBFL, after being upset by the spoiler Playground Legends team and riding outside the playoff bubble, Coach Kevin Beveridge was able to completley refocus his Bay Area Thrasher squad and post back to back record setting scoring weeks to stay alive in the hunt. Ultimately though they still needed help and it was this team’s smack talk rival – Hurricanes -beating XFactor – who held tie breakers over everyone – that allowed them to make the field.
So round one is set:
UO Grandmasters will host division foe Bay Area Thrashers at home. The 4 point home field advantage may not be a factor here though as UO beat them by 55 in Week 6, but suffered a 97 point defeat in Week 12.
Runs N Throses will host a home game against Fudgie Whales. The Week 8 meeting between these two was a 24 point victory for the Throsers.
As a matter of clarification, since the playoff chart does not show it very well, we do re-seed each round. The lowest seed to get through the Wildcard Weekend will go to Hurricanes Stadium, while the other team will come to South Park to face the Cows.
