As is surely evident by now, I have been unable to keep up with this tournament. Of the 4 active tournaments I am organizing, this one is one of the most time consuming to manage and as life has changed and free time greatly decreased, it has become neglected and I apologize for that.

In order to avoid abandonment (and to keep this from lasting years, I will need some help with things like creating games and sending invites. This will make for a much faster turnaround each quarter. I will share co-organizer credit with the player(s) who contribute for the remainder of the tournament. If you are interested, please message me privately. Please list tournaments you've organized, if any - as experience is preferred, but not required.

Week 2 Finals

• Charleston 29 over Great Lakes 16
• Portugal 41 over Germany 32
• Ireland 33 over San Francisco 15
• Puget Sound over New York City 10
• Netherlands 46 over England 30

Week 2 turned into a scoring frenzy - a combined 279 points were scored by all teams. WOW!

Many players made highlight reel scores this week (along with some impressive team efforts), but among them Willo.Kings stood tall, completing 10 of 12 plays for 180 yards and 2 personal TDs - including a 4th quarter sweep that sealed the Victory for Puget Sound.



I hope you all left something in the tank as Week 3 is now underway!

Week 3 Q1

• All 3 of Ireland's playmakers (machrs, vykingsfan64, adam666) reeled off lightning quick TDs in the 1st quarter to put the Irish up 21-6 over a stunned Portugal.
• Great Lakes holds a slim lead over England, ending the 1st quarter 18-14 in what is shaping up to be a shootout. Both of these teams are still looking for their first win - who wants it more? Potentially megaswoman, who went 3-3 for 80 yards & 2 TDs on England's turf.
• New York 7-0 lead over San Francisco, who also seeking their first W.
• Germany played strong defense and put together an 85-yard scoring drive to go up 7-0. Charleston, who fell 10 yards shy of scoring, has gone 2-0 this season, largely on the fleet feet of Wendt100. He went 3-3 for all of Charleston's 70 yards.

Week 3 Q2

• Ireland's highlight reel TD's didn't let up with the move to Portugal - they added another 14 points to move ahead 35-12.
• Netherlands' special teams work - they're 2-for-2 on extra point kicks so far - accounts for their slim 14-12 lead over Puget Sound.
• With back-to-back 100+ yard quarters, Great lakes pulled ahead of England 32-20. Great Lakes racked up an impressive 250 yards on 12 carries/completions in the first half. That's nearly 21 YPC!
• New York holds a 4 point lead over San Francisco, while Germany leads Charleston by 8.

Look out for Quarter 3 games soon - courtesy of Netherlands captain Tin Trumpet. His assistance will ensure this tournament doesn't last an eternity. :)

Week 3 Q3

• Great Lakes ended the 1st half with 250 yards and started the 2nd with its strongest effort yet - a remarkable 170 yards and 3 TDs to put themselves ahead 50-27. England also scored and added an extra point, but they'll need a miracle comeback to pull off their first win of the season.
• Ireland also started off the 1st half with a scoring frenzy, but Portugal shutdown the highlight reel TDs and made Ireland work for their 6th TD... they racked up 140 yards to move ahead 41-15. Portugal - who failed to score a TD, but did manage a FG - seem to be headed to a 2-1 record.
• Despite their QB missing the quarter and forfeiting 2 extra points, Puget Sound still managed to edge ahead of Netherlands 24-21. Last week's MVP Willo.Kings has been held to 10 yards and 1 TD for the Sound, but Full Metal J stepped it up in the 3rd, rushing for both TDs.
• Charleston tacked on another TD and kept Germany out of the end zone, but ceded its 3rd consecutive kick. After kicking 6/6 to start the season, Charleston whiffed on its last 5 attempts. Special teams may decide this matchup.
• San Francisco ended the 1st half with a promising 140 yard, 1 TD effort, but was held to just 5 yards and no scores in the 3rd quarter as NYC extended their lead 17-6.

Tin Trumpet has your Q4 invites on the way. Please join them or let us know if you'll be unavailable. Thanks.

Week 3 Finals
Wow - what a finish to Week 3! 2 teams that were getting crushed in the first half, turned up the heat in the 4th quarter...

• Portugal entered the 4th quarter trailing by 26 points - a deficit they nearly overcame with a remarkable 24 point binge. Had they won their special teams triples match, Portugal would have made a stunning comeback to remain undefeated 3-0, but Ireland squeezed in a field goal to hold on 44-39.
• Last update, I noted that England needed "a miracle" to pull out their first win over Great Lakes. They came very close with 110 yards and 2 TDs, while holding Great Lakes scoreless in the 4th, but it wasn't enough as Great Lakes held on 50-41 to snag their first victory of the season.
• The Netherlands scored and then locked it down on defense, edging out a close 28-24 win over Puget Sound. This was neck-and-neck the entire game - a great matchup!
• Elsewhere New York City and Germany shut down their respective opponents (San Francisco, Charleston) in the 4th - both teams are now 2-1 on the season.

Week 3 was full of both stunning individual performances and solid team efforts, but these players stood out:


Three teams entered Week 3 undefeated - all left with losses, creating a wide open race in the standings - 7 teams stand at 2-1 entering Week 4.


Week 4, Quarter 1 games headed your way soon!
