Woohoo, with the tweaking of a few variables we are off into the world of MLS Playoff WPL. As has been foreshadowed, one man blasted ahead of the pack and that man is Flashman! He not only got every game right, but bet more than all but two players, including cashing in the big moneyball on SJE's 2 goal victory and boldly betting 5 on DC on the road. The rest of the field has some work to do, but there's still a ways to go. 3 other players correctly guessed every game, and not surprisingly, tab5g, firefan2001, and Jose L. Couso finished 2,3 and 4 because of it. firefan2001 predicted there'd be a lot of ties this week.... well, so much for that. Guess he'll have to settle for 3rd. MouseyTongue got the Quake game wrong but made up it for by riding the Revs to moneyball land and cashing in heavily on DC. Crewbasher runs away with Play of the Week by not only guessing the DC upset, but betting the summer home on it. Familiar names Revolt, NoSix and the administrator remain in contention with positive, top ten scores, but with work to be done. The WPL was unfriendly to newcomer mannellaice but things can change in a hurry around here. ____________________________________________________________ Play Of The Week: Crewbasher, for the bet of 9 on DCU over MET Weekly Cup: 1 FlashMan 10.50909 2 tab5g 6.245455 3 firefan2001 5.681818 4 Jose L.
