Reflections on Border Battle 2K13 - Part 4

                The RT5 division certainly saw some changes in the standings following the Border Battle event! Perhaps most notably, Petrolia Pirates lost their match against Keswick Bombers causing them to drop from their 1st place position. Pirates will have the opportunity to redeem themselves next event as they face Ajax Lockdown and Churchill Venom. Also point-worthy, Vanier Outbreak developed a winning streak which they maintained throughout the entire second event, allowing them to steal into the coveted lead. With their hard work and vigorous practices, I won’t be surprised to see this streak continue. It will not be an easy feat though as they have yet to face the 3rd and 5th place teams (Codrington Chaos and Mount Hope Bedlam) who both have some wins under their belts as well! Keswick Bombers’ successful matches allowed them to match Codrington Chaos in wins, losses, and ties, as well as in +/- meaning the two teams are currently tied for 3rd in the season standings. It will be interesting to see who pulls out ahead in their match against one another at Event 3!

CX4
                Hamilton Havoc won Event 2 bringing their point total up to 96 which also means they are now the CX4 leaders heading into Event 3. Brantford Painting Crew finished toward the middle of the pack this event, knocking them out of 1st and into 3rd overall. North York Thrash has demonstrated consistency this season, finishing both Events 1 and 2 in 3rd place which has allowed them to lock down the 2nd spot in the rankings. As for the lower end of the CX4 ranks, Barrhaven Hustle Ninjas failed to field a team this event which may have been a pleasant surprise for Wawa Warthogs who were able to move up a spot in the ranks.
