So are you saying that the tournament organizers set the brackets up so these four teams would land in the playoffs? What about the selection videos??? (those have to be proof positive that the brackets are on the level wink ). Also, according to the unofficial rankings in the forum, fl$ has to be considered one of the top four teams, not Jesters. So, lets see, fl$, LAX-Black and Gladiators. What did all of these top 3 of 4 teams have in common. That's right, they had to play each other on the way to the play-offs. And, chances are two of them would land in the number 2 and 3 spots where they would have to play each other. Playing at least two of the top four teams during pool play would take it's toll on all three teams physically, in the loss column and in the goals against column.

Yes 91 Orange won their way to a championship and beat the best of the rest to do it. However, they only had to beat one of the other three best teams in the tournament to do it. If fl$, Gladiators or LAX-Black had won, they would have had to beat three of of the best teams in the division. One during pool play, one in the playoffs and one in the championship.
