Multiiple Games of the Week here, with 1.5 points separating fourth and seventh places: three teams will make the post-season, one will be on the outside. Moved Upton have the easiest task against the already-relagated Blonde Streaks, with Alabama Slammers facing the sternest task, going up against second-placed Mizzoula, who have already clinched a playoff spot, but not a first-round bye. Wieter and McGrit both face lower tier opposition too this week, as the final round become crunch time for all four sides.
