2 Down, 2 To Go

Sunday brought an end to A LOT of team’s seasons with the outcome in the DMV North and DMV Central. Yes, the DMV South and VA have tour stops on June 9th, but it only matters for 6 teams at this point who are looking to get into the Playoffs in the Central Conference. Let’s look at the final unofficial regular season standings for the DMV North and DMV Central, then we will see who still is alive come this weekend. I also add my predictions for the DMV South and VA stops.

Still in the Running

There are 5 teams still in the running for the remaining 2 Playoff spots.

1. Kryptonite [DMV Central] (276) (With their season done, they need a bit of help from Dynasty, The Risen, and Gladiators to give them a chance at the Playoffs this season)

2. Apex Predators [DMV North] (273) (Similar to Kryptonite, their season is done. It is truly not looking good for them to get in without a ton of help from the aforementioned teams above)

3. Contract Killaz [DMV South] <bowls Dynasty> (270) – 1 Stop remaining (8 points should get them a playoff spot)

4. Violators [VA] <bowls The Risen> (258) – 1 Stop remaining (needs 21 points or better to be in a good position to get a playoff spot)

5. Demolition Crew [VA] <bowls Gladiators> (238) – 1 Stop remaining (needs 40 points to even have an outside chance)
