D1 races coming down to last week
March 17, 2011
The final seeding in all three D1 divisions is still up for grabs.
In D1 West, the top two slots have already been identified — the top going to the Spiders. But as has been the case all season, the middle, and the final two playoff spots, are available for the taking for three teams, Maroons, Chaos and Royals. Games this weekend (or tiebreakers after the games) will be the deciding factor:
- Maroons vs. Royals
- Chaos vs. Ice Gators
And whichever team grabs fourth will face the Spiders in the first game of the round robin playoffs on Tuesday, April 5. Could it be a repeat of last season’s first round?
