FR and SPS surprise as SS continue to Falter

Hello and welcome to another edition of WPC Sports Scene. The title says it all as FR and SPS kept pace with PFN early on in the season. SPS took a 5-1 win against 8BC which had some controversy and FR wiped SS out of the water 4-2.

So lets start with Simply Pool Souls win over 8BC. This was a match where Heather who was also reffing and watching tapes at the same time. It all started with a break run by oh.alix, the irony is that should have been her second break run in two matches as she threw a break run away back in week 1. This week though it was different and Alix gave SPS a dream start against Andy(pool_nuts) who was then boxed for a none report.

The first time Trent had been available for a while and he made it 2-0 rather quickly, after almost trying to gift mr old school the victory. Trent almost came through tho but lost it to make it 1-1 and 8BC saw a way back into the game.

Then came the match where all the bs started. SPS called Heather who was reffing and watching tapes too. She was taking time over shots, not only because of the match she was reffing and watching tapes but the whole lining up of shots. Bryan started to complain and Nigel also started to complain, but there is NO rule in WPC that says if your reffing elsewhere you can not play. Kerry from PFN regularly does this and it shouldn't mean that you cant play at all. Heather took the win to make it 2-1 to SPS.

Then the 8BC captain made a mistake and called a player who wasn't able to get Camtasia to work so 8BC forfeited the match and it was 3-1 to SPS who now couldn't lose. Kat picked up the easiest win ever in WPC.

Then 8BC called Noob himself and he was up against Rick who played brilliantly but couldn't convert the 8 and Rusty went through and took the win so 3-2 and 8BC were looking to selvage a draw from this match.

I called myself to play Mikey and this was a great match up which either player could win, at this point there was word that Rusty's tape was not good but it still meant that I had to win to ensure a victory. I did win and Rusty had his tape DQed as he canceled it before it reached the ref so SPS took a big 5-1 win

FR beat SS 4-2 and SS need to kick into gear because with only the top 4 getting into the playoffs this season, a good start is vital and teams like PFN, FR and SPS could steal a march and leave it very tough for the rest to catch them. FR have started the season wonderfully which is a shock because there usually the whipping boys and girls of WPC but this season is different.

Elsewhere FR smashed 6 past 8BC, PFN picked up another win vs MIB but wasn't as easy as the 6-0 in week 1 vs DS they won 5-1 but MIB showed with only 4 players and that will be of concern to WPC and the MIB captain, Rich. Stevie is on the scene for MIB and Steven has moved to MIB and thats a good pick up but didn't help them this week as the Beats of the match reffed it in petey, it was pretty plain sailing.

The other match was LPL beat DS 4-2 in a very close encounter, where not for the first time this season im sure Ant clinched it for Steves LPL side.

So in other things that happened this week, and Nish from FR was boxed for the way he swore and had a go at MIB in there lobby at the expo. WPC admins will NOT tolerate such behaviour and you will be punished instantly. FR had the pick of the EXPO this week and shot from 5th to 2nd in the team standing after a all FR final in which Simple.Deal took the plaudits and defeated Travis in the final. DS had a shocker and the whole field came back to them with the exception of MIB and PFN, there was no representatives in the EXPO for them again this week just gone.

So lets move onto the exciting matches this week and start with the match of the week.

MATCH OF THE WEEK

Pool Fiction vs Latino Pool Legends

Day and Time: Wednesday @ 7pm

Room: Bad Times

Interesting Facts:

LPL beat PFN to win WPC back in Season 2.

PFN are the most successful regular season team in WPC amassing 86 points from 42 matches. LPL are in 6th place with 57 points from 33 matches in WPC.

This match will be a close run thing, PFN have started like a train whereas LPL have started slowly but came good in week two. This will all depend on if Steve can bring his A team. Kerry will ofcourse bring a strong team and players like Brock, Jamie and Chris. LPL need to really kick it up a gear this week however I can not really see LPL being much of competition here. PFN storms to a 5-1 victory here

Match 2

Simply Pool Souls vs Straight Shots

Day and Time: Monday @ 7pm

Room: Sweet Jane

Ref: Chele

Interesting Facts:

SPS have never beaten SS. This is SS's worse WPC start. Usually they win there first match.

So the surprise starters against the team that just aint turned up for two weeks. SS need to get going or they are going to be left behind. SS are struggling even when there best players play. They lost to FR and didnt look that good to be fair. Jon hasn't looked himself and after he had a go at me for making SPS vs MIB the match of the week in week one SPS know that a win here and they will be 9 points clear. Heather took her first win last week and Alix hit a break run. Monte is sparsely playing himself so this might be the match. SS needs to improve as SPS are playing very very well and with SS losing to FR last week they will want revenge but on form I am going with the inform team. SPS beat SS to make there start worse by a score of 4-2

Match 3

Money In The Bank vs Freedom

Day and Time: Tuesday @ 6pm

Room: Back To School

Ref: James

Interesting Facts:

This is by far the best start in WPC for Freedom. MIB only showed with 4 last week and will need to get there with 6

Now this is a interesting match up. When MIB show up they can be amazing, or they can be awful. Last week they was none of them as they only showed with 4 vs PFN, when you are going to show with 4 the PFN team is not the team to do it with. Freedom just keep winning and are going to be a real force to be reckoned with. Travis and simple.deal got to the final of the expo this week and will look to carry over that good form into this match. Could be boring or interesting. If Ben and JAmes show up to this is FR's 5-1

Match 4

Dead Strokes vs 8 Ball Crushers

Day and Time: Wednesday @ 6pm

Room: A Face In The Crowd

Ref: Steven

Interesting Facts:

8BC have had 2 DQs already this season and a 6-0 defeat to FR.
DS are the 9th best team in WPC ever.

8 Ball Crushers have not enjoyed the best of starts, DS has not either. Both have suffered 6-0 defeats and need more confidence. Rusty needs to get the tapes in order and his own camtasia in order. Dead Strokes need to also reproduce there EXPO form if they are to reach the playoffs. Chele has a good side and so does Rusty but 8BC need some big improvements this week. DS should win this and i will say they win big. DS ship this match 5-1.

So theres the prediction and the 3v3 also starts on sunday. This information is on the main page and good luck all this week
