Numbers Game and Battle Bowl Primer
It’s time to go with the Numbers Game. We’ll be talking about records and history and all sorts of fun stuff.
We’ll also chat about teams best chances to win. Maybe some notes on your own bracket.
Let’s have some fun.
Battle Bowl Representatives: NONE
Playoff Record: 4-5
NOTES:: For teams in the past like Wrecking Crew who have made runs, this is a little disappointing. Better luck next season.
NOTES: Baby steps. Eventually a team from here will make a massive run and get to Delware. Will an expension of teams improve the competition and build more resolve-filled players? Time will tell..
Battle Bowl Representatives: Royal Flush, Release the Kraken
Playoff Record: 7-3
NOTES: It was only very recently that all 4 teams from Long Island made the regional four. This is a very dangerous district, only surpassed by one (more on them later). If you were going to stick money on any teams on a conference, this would be a good one. A long Island rematch could happen in round 2.
Battle Bowl Representatives: NONE
Playoff Record: 1-3
NOTES: Without me being overly rude, this district has now usurped New England as the worst district in the Atlantic. There’s much more talent here than the playoff record implies BUT you are what your record says you are, and right now it says ‘Yuck’.
Battle Bowl Representatives: MOP Nation Militia
Playoff Record: 4-2
NOTES: Yes, once up on a time a few years ago I did put the New England North as the worst district in the UBA. Times have changed now and if you want a representative, MOP is a great team to represent. They have almost gotten to the top of the mountain and the fact thatsome of these matches will be at Mid County will only help lthem.A very dark horse team to watch.
Battle Bowl Representatives: NONE
Playoff Record: 4-4
NOTES: No representatives? This has got to be a disappointment, especially to Outrage. Whether or not this is a blip or something more permanent remains to be seen.
Battle Bowl Representatives: Impact, Hot Pockets
Playoff Record: 7-2
NOTES: There were doubters that the four teams that made their mark early during the season would stay that way. The doubters were proven wrong. Impact has been a mainstay in Delaware but this is Hot Pockets first journey to the final stage. Happy to be here or the job’s not done yet? They are on the other side of the brackets, so an all DMV Central final is possible.
Battle Bowl Representatives: NONE
Playoff Record: 1-4
NOTES: If the North was disappointed the South should be kicking themselves. A lot of missed opportunities here as the South, who should have taken advantage of the north’s miscues, ow sees their position usurped to…Virginia???
Battle Bowl Representatives: Hostile Takeover
Playoff Record: 4-3
NOTES: Sure Hostile Takeover’s win boosts Virginia into a new presitge, but other teams won matches. With Virginia expanding into two districts next season, could this be the beginning of the Virginia Conquest? Time will tell…
Battle Bowl Representatives: X-It Woundz, Murder Inc.
Playoff Record: 7-3
NOTES: Two of the three teams here that lost in the playoffs lost toother NJ North Teams. Murder Inc. has won the whole think before while X-It Woundz has gotten to the finals during the Covid Era then they had 6 Vs 6 instead of 9 vs 9). Both teams love Bowlerama and as they are both on the other side of the bracket, we could be seeing NJ NOrth Vs. NK North for it all.
Battle Bowl Representatives: Pocket Kingz
Playoff Record: 4-3
NOTES: All 3 teams in the Northeast Conference that made the playoffs are from the NJ Northwest. District, FYI – the playoffs got moved to Laurel, where people thought the teams in the area would get an advantage. Wrong. The fact that they can bowl n a new house will bode well for them when they have to travel to Mid County lanes. Advantage?
Battle Bowl Representatives: NONE
Playoff Record: 3-3
NOTES: Well, that didn’t go as planned. Home lane advantage didn’t work out too well. That will allow, IMO, a team to rebuild in this district and be a power for a few years while everyone else plays catch-up. Who will it be?
Battle Bowl Representatives: NONE
Playoff Record: 2-3
NOTES: Note to teams – just because you get a lot of points by winning matches with people not showing up does not mean that you are prepared for the playoffs. This would be example A. Hopefully, teams will regroup after this season.
Battle Bowl Representatives: NONE
Playoff Record: 1-4
NOTES: What the heck happened here?Some of these matches were against hard opponents, but This district has too much history to not get at least 2 wins inthe playoffs, Back to the drawing board.
Battle Bowl Representatives: Hitmen
Playoff Record: 5-4
NOTES: Capital showed that there’s more teams capable than Hitmen – in fact, the insurgents could have also gotten to Delaware. We all know that Hitmen is a monster and is looking for revenge, The smart money should take a stop here.
Battle Bowl Representatives: NONE
Playoff Record: 2-4
NOTES: The reputation, while improving their playoff record from last year, did not improve tha number of teams getting in. Eventually they will.
Battle Bowl Representatives: NONE
Playoff Record: 1-4
NOTES: The 3 teams that dominated the regular season went one and out in the playoffs. Only the Beast Squad got a win. While the bad record was espected in the Inner Coastal, it wasn’t expected here.
Battle Bowl Representatives: Taking Care of Business, Carolina Swag
Playoff Record: 9-5
NOTES: You did expect the Triad to do well here, and they delivered on the expectations. C-Swag goes back to the playoffs while TCB are the newbies. The fact that they will play in Mid County will help, because their trips to Bowlerama haven’t been memorable.
Battle Bowl Representatives: Critical Roll
Playoff Record: 4-6
NOTES: Only Critical Roll does anything for the Metro Atlanta, who are a combined 1-6 if you removed Critical Roll from the equation. However, they do get a representative there, so that works out great for them. You can argue that they would be giant underdogs, but all you need is to get here ans let the ball do the work.
Battle Bowl Representatives: Complete Anarchy
Playoff Record: 3-2
NOTES: Two teams that took the next step that should get some praide. Obviously Complete Anarchy is one of them, as they made noise both in the Playoffs and the UBA Vs. Rom nd rmoesh Civil War. The other one? Shot Show, who wile didn’t make it to Battle Bowl, did improve from also-rans to playoff qualifiers. Huge shout out to them.
Winner: Savages
In: High Caliber / Paradise Cartel
Possible Wild Card(s): Dragons / Upstate Gladiators
Golf Season: Carolina Rampage / Tri-City Reapers
NOTES: The glass is half full or half empty – only two teams didn’t make the playoffs in this district. HOWEVER, four of the six teams in the bottom of the playoffs in terms of points are from the Palmetto District, which means they could be seeing early first round exits.
WINNER: D.I.L.L.I.G.A.F.
In: King’s Court / Menace II Society / G-Town Heavy Hitters
Wild Card: The MIlitia
Golf Season: Triple X / The M.O.B./ Carolina Rollers / Natural Disaster / 187 Inc. / Venom / In My Own World
NOTES: This is a very heavy top 5, all of which are in the Top 10 in terms of seeding. Assuming they make it to the second round, these are teams that have the potential to upset the top seeds. Upset alert.
WINNER: Mad Jokers – Clinched District
In: Jokerz Wild / Deez Nuts Bowling Club
Wild Card: H-Town
Golf Season: ResurrXXXtion / Lock Down / ResurrXXXtion / Lock Down / Mission Control / Monster Ink / Texas Mafia / Angry Balls
NOTES: This playoffs are run by a bunch of Jokerz. We’re not kidding.
Winner: Vendetta
In: Alamo Omens / HIll County Outlaws
Wild Card: Derty Diablos
Golf Season: Collateral Damage / Drawing Dead / River City Gunslingers / Legendary Dynasty
NOTES: This is the first season that the Southwest Champs go to Battle Bowl. Advantage – the Omens, who have veterans who have been there. That being said, they laid a giant goose egg in last season’s playoffs, so whether or not they can get rid of that disappointsment will determine if they get redemption – or if someone else gets the maiden voyage to Delaware.
