My step DD heard from my biological DS that his cousin once removed on Heros told his neighbor who plays for BLC that they would beat MDU and M&D this year.

Ha!

Boy's HoCo does this so much better than NGLL simply by capping at 10 teams per division.

Yes they do! Way too many teams in the A division this year.

Will Robinson/3Step allow M&D Black to play M&D Red in round one of the playoffs??

Clinched, congrats:
1. Heros Green
2. M&D Black
3. BLC Blue
4. Skywalkers Blue
5. MDU East
6. Coppermine Black

Fighting for last two spots:
1. M&D Red
2. CC Lax
3. YJMA DMV
4. MDU West

M&D Red plays YJMA DMV. This is an elimination game. Winner advances, loser goes home.
CC Lax needs a win vs Heros White to advance.
MDU West needs a win and for Heros white to beat CC Lax or score a lot of goals vs CC Lax in a loss.

Agreed!

Standings updated and looks like we have 4 teams fighting for 2 playoff spots. It's going to be a wild finish.

As NGLL Midatlantic grows, they have to start taking number of clubs into account. Two divisions does not work for several of these years.

We are going to get a very avg team into playoffs due to lack of strength of schedule and a very good team going to miss.

There are 6 teams that stand out in the division and then maybe 2-3 others who are better than the bottom 8-10.

I agree with that but I think the poster was referring to the prior posts alleging BLC was confident they would beat a team they have never beaten.

I don’t think anyone but a few BLC people believed that MDU actually fell off, and that was wishful thinking clearly
