WEEK 17 (thru Thursday)

The Cup-contending teams storming the Polar Bears castle are having absolutely no success, GM Elya's lead practically impenetrable since commandeering first place on February 7th.

Misconducts: 47.6
Polar Bears: 36.9
The Polar Bears aren't always good but they've always been good enough, a 6.1 Thursday keeping the second place SC Cobras a distant 45.8 points in the distance. GM Elya's H2H situation however is a bit more perilous, his Bears trailing the in-form Misconducts by 10.7.

SC Cobras: 39.6
Between the Pipes: 52.5
The best "thru Thursday" score has pushed Between the Pipe another notch higher in the standings, GM Miller's team now in 5th place, 80.5 points back. H2H-wise, the Pipes are galloping toward their 10th win ($20.00) of the season, leading the limp snakes by 12.9.

Bluliners: 26.5
Central Red Army: 44.5
The slumping Bluliners rebounded on Thursday but their 10.4 point effort wasn't good enough, the Central Red Army ripping a league best 16.8, GM Buker's advantage now a thick 18.0 points with only Friday left to be played.

Boulder Flyers: 39.6
Wild Ducks: 42.0
A satisfying 15.9 point Thursday wouldn't bear much fruit for GM Morgan as the Wild Ducks countered with 15.0 points of their own, GM Collard's 11th place waddlers leading the 9th place Boulder Flyers by 2.4.

Ice Hogs: 27.1
Ice Cats: 32.0
In need of a victory to stay in the H2H title chase, the news is good for GM Cutshall, his Ice Cats now leading the icy Ice Hogs by 4.9. The once streaking Ice Hogs are now sliding, GM Henry's team just as single point clear of 9th place in the overall standings.

Badger Bob: 37.9
Silicon Valley Slashers: 33.8
A 12.0 point Thursday allowed Badger Bob to catch and pass the Silicon Valley Slashers, GM Chester's squad now leading by 4.1. A Polar Bears loss (they're losing) and a Bobs win could place the expansion franchise just one game behind the Bears in the chase for the H2H crown.
