INL* Standings after game 1:

PF = Planets For
PA = Planets Against
GF = Genocides For
GA = Genocides Against
MGF = Minutes in Genocides For
MGA = Minutes in Genocides Against

Tiebreakers among teams with the same record are determined using a rough
guess at what the final fall INL tiebreakers will be.  Failing tiebreakers,
teams are listed in alphabetical order.

These are not the official standings, especially not for MGF and MGA.

PREDICTION ACCURACY:
ENPN pre-season: 7-2.
ENPN mid-season: Not Applicable this game.
sunscreamer pre-season: 4-4-1 (see note below.)

I wish sunscreamer had posted results of games, it would have been
easier...  it was interesting trying to deduce his game results from
the predictions.  Still unsure about Hell's Bagels at UCSB in game 1,
and Take Off, eh? at Deeply Perturbed Men in game 4.  Anyway...


ANALYSIS:

One of the most important match-ups of the season happened in game 1,
which is a shame: Side Salad pulling it out over xgolems.  However,
with the unpredicted wild-card rules, the game 4 match-ups may take on
some unanticipated importance, especially Golden Bears at Side Salad
or xgolems at the surprising 'Tis Only a Flesh Wound.

The Armchair Admirals: A team whose roster and "easy" schedule hinted
at greatness... who choked.  Team captain Eric Mehlhaff was
imaginably quoted as saying, "It's all CMU's fault."
...On the other side, 'Tis Only a Flesh Wound team captain Exodus was
inaccurately quoted as saying,
"ha


ha


ha"

The Team With No Name has three games against teams from whom it lured
away players: its game 1 win over Take Off, Eh? [Gadfly], its second
game away at Deep Hurting [Wreck], and its third game hosting the
Angry Men [rjones emeritus].  Negotiations are reportedly underway to
acquire a former Team SC player, for game 4 hosting the LA Riot.


PREDICTED GAME 2 GENOCIDES:

Side Salad at home over The Angry Men
Team With No Name away over Deep Hurting

All the rest should be close or at least long LPS...


ENPN GAME 2 PREDICTIONS:

HELL'S BAGELS at Lagg U.
GOLDEN BEARS at LA Riot
THE ARMCHAIR ADMIRALS at Farm League Extension West - F1
'TIS ONLY A FLESH WOUND at jays@ucsb &
Janitors of Anarchy at DEEPLY PERTURBED MEN

The Angry Men at SIDE SALAD
Off the Top Rope at XGOLEMS
TEAM WITH NO NAME at Deep Hurting
ILLUMINUS CARTEL at Farm League Extension East - F2 #
ILLUMINUS CARTEL at Take Off, eh?

& - Change from pre-season predictions.
# - "Bye" game.
