Things are coming down to the wire. In B-League seeding is yet to be figured out. There is still a fight for the last playoff spot. In C-League the last playoff spot is still up for grabs and seeding isn’t set. In D-League one of the semi-final matchups is set. All eyes are on who will get the last playoff spot. In E-League all four playoff spots are taken. Now it’s just a question of seeding for the semi-final matchups
The last regular season game is scheduled for Saturday August 13th. Playoffs are scheduled to start Monday August 15th.
B-League
In B-League Cruz Construction have secured their playoff spot. They have also secured the B-League regular season title and number one seed in the playoffs. Tahoe Storm and Tahoe Dawgs have also secured their playoff spots. Black Ox have been eliminated.
With one game to go the final playoff spot is still up for grabs. If 4 Seasons win or lose in a shootout, they will secure a playoff birth. Hyundai N-Line has to win their final game in regulation. If they do that they can tie with 4 Seasons and might be able to get the last playoff spot in tie breakers.
4 Seasons could still get second place if they win and both Tahoe Dawgs or Tahoe Storm loses. If 4 Seasons wins and either Tahoe Dawgs or Tahoe Storm lose in regulation 4 would be in third place and avoid having to play Cruz Construction. Basically Tahoe Dawgs, Tahoe Storm, 4 Seasons or Hyundai N-Line could end up in the fourth spot and have to play Cruz.
Secured Playoff Spot: Cruz Construction, Tahoe Storm, Tahoe Dawgs
Eliminated From Playoffs: Black Ox
