5 should be up soon

As I've sent them along. As part of the reports, I added a bonus section called Down the Stretch, which tells you all what to expect in this playoff drive.

As part of that, if the season ended today, the playoffs would look like this (home team listed first):

Tigers (1B) v. Ellwood (4A)
System (1A) v. Bendit (4B)
Ratz (2A) v. Avalanche (3B)
Bonafide (2B) v. Brooklyn FC (3A)



The "Invitational"

United v. Thunder (or a replacement for Thunder)
Delta v. Presidents
Maidstone v. Idali
Quakes v. Saltopus

Winners of each game would advance, and the losers of each game would be out of the tournament and free to find other friendlies. The home team in subsequent matches would be determined by the team with the best regular-season record. So in the finals, Tigers would be guaranteed a home match no matter who they played; the same would be true of United in the Invitational.

If this holds, we will have some fantastic matchups (Ratz v. Avalanche and Bonafide v. Brooklyn) in the opening round. Lots can change, though. Should be really exciting.

And, as mentioned, congrats to the Head_Rat for getting his own little slice of cheese in the USA conference...
