I can replace in.

If my reading of the spreadsheet is correct, Team NYC has just become the first team to go 10-for-10 in a quarter, winning all 9 of our singles games and the triples game in the first quarter of our Week 4 matchup against Portugal.

How about that?

Welcome elonpuckhog to the Puget Sound roster and to the league - thanks for filling in.

Kudos to NYC for breaking a single quarter record - the closest another team has come is 8-10 in a quarter.

Week 4 Halftime Report

• San Francisco - in desperate need of their 1st win, may have found their scoring edge and hold a slim 3 point lead over Puget Sound.
• The other winless team - England - can't seem to catch a break. Their previous 3 opponents scored 50, 46, and 45 points each, while the Brits put up a respectable 41, 30, and 36 points in those contests. They trail Germany 24-35 at the break - can they buck the trend?
• After the entire team set a record by completing 10/10 plays in the 1st quarter, Kondrad set another record in the 2nd, with 3 solo TDs in a single quarter to propel NYC ahead of Portugal 31-13.
• Meanwhile, Charleston's offensive struggles continued as they trail Ireland 9-3.
• Great Lakes appears shell-shocked as they stare at a 34-0 defecit.

Since we began this tournament, some players have come and gone. For those recently joining us, and for those wanting a refresher, the point system of this league is as follows:

The earlier a game is won, the more yards are gained.

Winning a game 5 rounds or less is an instant TD. Totaling 80 yards or more during a quarter is a TD.
For each TD scored during a quarter, an extra point is awarded by winners of the triples game.
If no TD was scored by the winner of the triples game, a 3 point Field Goal is awarded.
The team with more points at the end of 4 quarters wins the match. In the event of a tie, a final triples game will be played to decide the winner.

[akabob2]

[lostatlimbo]

akabob2 - I'll add you as a reserve. Thank you!

[Mass Miracle]

I will be a reserve if you need one.

[lostatlimbo]

Great! I'll add you as well.

[Kondrad]

just a heads up -- if the next round is due to start in the next 10 days -- I will be away and unable to join games until after Dec 27th.

[lostatlimbo]

No worries, we'll take a break until the new year. Thank you for the heads up, though - much appreciated.

[lostatlimbo]

Sorry for the delay, been a busy start to the year.

Week 4 Final Report
Lots of very, very close games this week, plus one absolute blowout.

• San Francisco pulled off their first win of the season with a 35-24 upset over Puget Sound.
• England was not so fortunate, as they again fell to the highest scoring team in the league this week, despite putting up 42 points of their own. Will they find their defensive game before its too late?
• Down 31-13 at half time, Portugal mounted an incredible effort in the 4th with a 28 point binge and were just 10 yards short (twice!) of a 5th TD that would have sealed an insane comeback victory. Nonetheless, NYC managed to hang on for a 4 point victory - 46-42.
• Charleston stumbled into the 4th quarter having failed to score a TD for 4 consecutive quarters, but weren't content with a 2nd consecutive loss. They rallied with 3 TDs (nearly a 4th) to edge ahead of Ireland by a slim 21-18 win.
• Great Lakes managed 1 TD (courtesy of General Bax) in the 3rd, but was otherwise shutout and unable to contain the tour de force that was MVP Enormastitz and wepuckett, who combined for 325 yards and 6 TDs!

Enormastitz convincingly takes MVP honors this week with his 240 yard, 83% completion rate and 3 TDs - the most impressive performance to date!


4 teams in a tie for 1st now. Week 5 games soon!
