entertaining challenge haha

...

Golden game: Marcos Madrid en la cocina tio

 

[dewnyc]

Carolina now lead the East (by percentage points over NY Slice) after beating Princeton 15-6 on Friday and beating Florida 17-4 today. Carolina and NY will face off next weekend to end their regular seasons, which will also include West-leading Portland. Princeton will need a big result tomorrow against Florida to stay in playoff contention.

Crocs came back from starting 5 points down in the golden game against Princeton, then sub Tashiya Piyadasa (playing on her 3rd different team in 3 straight weekends, if I'm not mistaken) won the ultimate golden point against Cheng Hsien-Tzu. That will hurt Princeton's playoff chances, as they are now 11 (instead of 5) points behind the 2nd place NY Slice. Princeton will have to watch what NY & Carolina do next weekend, and then see if they still have a chance when they host the final regular season weekend the following week.

Portland clinch a playoff spot with 4 matches left to play. It happened on Johan Hagberg (as a sub for Bay Area) trying a trick serve in the golden game but missing the serve, failing to even make contact lol.
Big match tonight, between NY and Carolina.

Carolina clinches a playoff spot after beating 2nd place NY.
Slice are now 21 points ahead of Princeton for the final spot, like at the start of play Sunday last weekend, when Princeton was playing. Slice have 1 more match (against Bay Area), while Princeton face Portland, Atlanta, and Florida at home next weekend.

 

[dewnyc]

After the win over Bay Area (with sub Jessica Reyes-Lai winning most of the points against Baek Kwang-Il in the golden game), 35 points separate the NY Slice and Princeton Revolution for last playoff spot. It could all come down to the final regular season match next Sunday between Princeton and Florida

Tashiya Piyadasa (as a sub for Florida) swept Minhyung Jee again. Portland with the best record in the league needed an ultimate golden point to beat Florida, with the record in the league. Too bad that Piyadasa lost ultimate golden points on back-to-back nights.

Princeton needs a total of 29 points between today and tomorrow to pass NY Slice for the final playoff spot. If they lose to Atlanta 15-6 tonight, they’ll be eliminated.

 

[dewnyc]

Princeton lost a 16-10 lead in the golden game, then won 21-17. Shuo Yang came up big with a golden sweep of Tom Feng at 16-16.
They will need 14 points tomorrow, meaning they’ll need to lead going into the golden game, then win that.

 

[dewnyc]

Portland got their 10th straight win (a new MLTT record) on their 2nd straight ultimate golden point in their regular season finale. Next for them is the playoffs semifinal, where they'll face either the NY Slice or Princeton Revolution, and won't have Hampus Nordberg.

 

[dewnyc]

Princeton is up 11-4 and has won the team match but now has to win the golden game

 

[dewnyc]

Wow, what a finish!
Princeton was down 17-19 after Angel Naranjo played surprisingly well against Yang Shuo, then Koyo won 4 points in a row against Gorak to send the Revolution to the playoffs. Great for them to do it at home, in front of their fans. This was after Princeton started with a 5-0 lead but then Florida tied it up right away at 6-6.
Princeton finished 3 points ahead of NY Slice, despite a 7-11 match record.

Semis will be Portland vs Princeton and Carolina vs Chicago.
