Predictions for National Fall Lax Fest in the A bracket:
-Coppermine, Eagle Stix, and Crush finish 3-0.
-Crush advances to the bracket as they are playing the easiest schedule (Belles, FCA, and Pride).
-Coppermine advances, as their schedule is also favorable (Same as Crush with #9 Sky Walkers subbing for FCA).
Eagle Stix left out on points (looks like Thinklax uses Goals Against, then GD), as they are playing two top 5s (M&D and MDU) and #12 (NXT) and should have a tougher time with the tiebreaker metrics.
--New look M&D and MDU teams both go 2-1, but lose to Eagle Stix.
--Sky Walkers could go 2-1, 1-2, or 0-3 depending on its pretty-balanced matchups against NXT and Pride. I'm guessing 1-2. The Sky Walkers game is also the best chance for NXT (Eagle Stix, M&D) and Pride (Coppermine, Crush) to get wins as they play very tough schedules.
--Tough bracket for FCA and Belles.
The playoff format for Fall Lax Fest needs an update. 3 teams from the bottom division doesn't do anyone any good.
Agree that Coppermine and Crush cruise to 3-0. M&D could go 3-0 if they jump on Eagle Stix early. Eagle Stix isn't built to score goals quickly or come back when down by 3-4 goals.
