Week 2 and No Trouble this Week Please

Welcome to Week 2 of WPC and last week was on the whole a very successful week. There was one postponed match, two 6-0 wins and a 3-3 draw so WPC had it all last week.

The match of the week last week was SPS vs MIB, although it wasn't really much of a match of the week as SPS casually brushed MIB aside 6-0. SPS aint used to winning so convincingly. It started with Rick a debutant for SPS defeating KrisBabe. Then I followed up victory in WSOP vs Stevie in WPC to make it 2-0. Then another debutant Alix should have 7balled Dawn but didnt, still go the win though. It was left to WPC specialist Kat to clinch in out vs Bryan. Duro and Matt picked up the other two wins.

Whats this mean for both teams? Well SPS will be buzzing for sure. They have quite a nice early schedule and are missing out on teams like PFN, LPL and SS early on. This could be quite a good season for Monte and Jason.

MIB will need to re-focus, they have a good solid team, stevie and Kris are good accomplished players and Emmit can be a very good shooter. Can Rich bring his best to the table this week? Only time will tell.

The second match was Freedom vs 8 Ball Crusher and this escalated into chaos. James made it 1-0 to FR and then it went 2-0 to FR but the guys tape was not good after the Time Stamp was at the bottom of the screen. At this time the cam settings was not on the Season 7 page yet, but Petey new it was the same rules as back in season 6. But because the tape was DQed they kicked off about it and the match got postponed. There was scrollers in the room too. I think Nigel and 8 Ball Crushers were very sporting and deserve a lot of credit. The match is being replayed on thursday at 5pm i believe.

The third match of the week was Straight Shots vs Latino Pool Lengends in what should have been a close match, and it turned out that way with the honours even at 3-3. It did involve the worse match up in WPC history when Jack played miserably bad but still won. This was a guy who somehow made the All star match in WPC last season.
The first match was a match up none of the admins wanted to see but it was fun to see Jon and Craig go head to head. Obviously Jon won to make it advantage to SS. The ever reliable interleaguer, Jordy stabilized preceding's by defeating Champion to make it 1-1, a typical dominant Jordy. Match 3 saw Cam make it advantage to LPL by beating Pimpism, LPL looked strong and SS a little bit in disarray it needed Pascal to bring SS back into line as he defeated Tino in a very good match. Then the Astonishing choice to call Jack over a few more regular and better players. Jack and Missy played out one if not the worse WPC match which eventually thankfully ended in a Jack win. Ant obviously made it a draw.

The DS vs PFN match was overshadowed by a Tape timeout, which although the DQ stands brings up on a slight tweak to the Cam sending rules being upped to 90 mins to get the tape sent. This is to help members who might not have the fastest internet.

DS lost 6-0 and the DS team will need to bounce back this week.

The EXPO has started off very well. The shock is the 4 time winners SS are languishing back in 4th place. MIB and PFN have not had anyone jump it yet but DS and SPS lead the way. DS are quite a bit in front and own 1,3 and 5 in the individual standings. They missed out on the EXPO win this week just gone though as Benjo from SPS won it. DS_franchise leads the individual championship on 25 points after his week one win and his run in week two. Benjo from SPS lies in second place on 21 points with another DSer James laying in 3rd with Hope on 15 points.

Back to the team points

Every WPC Expo has now been made now so you will find the updating of everything this season far more quickly and effectively.

The Admins voted 5-2 in favour of keeping coaching but this is likely to dissapear next season as WPC falls in line with the rest of the interleagues. That is not a cert yet but its more than likely.

I would like to thank Chuck for having the page updated and its on the www.myleague.com/wpc2 website now also.

Lets get to the weeks action and it starts on tuesday with THREE matches.

--------------MATCH OF THE WEEK--------------

Latino Pool Legends vs Dead Strokes

Tuesday @ 6pm

Room: Under Pressure

Ref: Heather

We start with the match of the week again DS lost 6-0 to PFN last week, whereas LPL came through a very tough match with SS by grabbing a draw. Jordy is Key for LPL this week. They will need to win this if they have any aspirations of reaching the top 4 for the playoffs. This is a big week for DS because they are so much better than a 6-0 thrashing at the hands of PFN. Chele will be going all out to get a result against a team who DS will think are one of the teams that will be there in 4th or 5th spot that DS want. If Chuck and James turns up on form then they could well surprise LPL here.

Score: I think DS WILL surprise here and will 4-2

Match 2

8 Ball Crushers vs Simply Pool Souls

Tuesday @ 6pm

Room: Forward Somersault

Ref: Steven

So 8BC haven't completed a match yet and that first match was moved till Thursday to play FR. SPS came into Season 7 with a BANG. They defeated MIB 6-0 and will fancy there chances against Noob's 8BC who took over from Bryan. 8BC will have to come out of the blocks quick this week because when SPS get a lead they dont usually let it go. Players like Rick, Kat and Heather if she comes on will need to perform at the top of there games. 8BC have talent and are showing this with players like pool nuts and snooker98 they will have a good chance but I think that SPS just have enough here.

Score: A very tight 4-2 win for SPS

Match 3

Pool Fiction vs Money In The Bank

Tuesday @ 7pm

Room: Bad Times

Ref: Petey

So PFN came in late to WPC and smashed 6 out of 6 past DS. They had a Tape DQ but this PFN team must surely be one of the favourites this season. Jamie, Andy and Mina all look good and Kerry must be really happy with what she has available. MIB however will need to step it up big time this week because losing 6-0 to SPS, it doesn't get any harder than this. Stevie and Emmitt need to turn up and really play for the team this week. If they show like they did against BNR in WSOP, then PFN might face a spot of bother. I doubt this will happen though.

Score: 5-1 PFN

Straight Shots vs Freedom

Wednesday @ 6pm

Room: All mixed Up

Ref: Heather

Straight Shots drew with LPL last week 3-3. Freedom had there game abandoned! This season needs to be big for both teams because this will be Freedoms first proper game and with LPl looking strong, drawing with the strong SS team that is still my pick to win the regular title. Petey needs Ben, James and Ash to perform and if they do then SS might have a problem. But if they dont play jack and give the regulars a chance then this will be very close for a Wednesday match. Will be a match report on this one.

Score: 4-2 to SS

Theres the long predictions vgl all at the tables.
