Stay at Home Day

Wednesday, 15 April, 2015:

Some days it just feels right to stay in La Hacienda all day reading a good book and watching a movie while sharing a couch with the love of your life.

Today, also a damp one, was one of those days.

In the evening, it was really nice to only have the Senior practice now that the Junior season is over.

We had a good turnout and I think that we had the right mindset at practice going into our last regular season game against the 2-5 Búfals in Barcelona next Sunday at 11:00 a.m.

After Sunday's game, Laurie and I will be staying in Barcelona for a couple of days as we give the Cobras the usual Monday after a game off.

Our playoff run will start in two weeks on Sunday May 3rd. As the Par Conference's #2 team, we will play at home against the #3 team from the Impar Conference.

The Impar Conference's #2 and #3  playoff teams are still somewhat of a mystery. Their #1 team is not a mystery at all as the Barberà Rookies are a perfect 7-0 on the campaign.

The #2 and #3 seeds will be decided this weekend as the 4-3 Granada Lions travel to Madrid to play the 3-4 Las Rozas Black Demons, while the 3-4 Coslada Camioneros have a tough road trip to the home of the 7-0 Barberà Rookies.

There are four scenarios possible in the Impar Conference.

SCENARIO 1: If Granada and Barberà both win then it is Barberà (8-0) #1, Granada (5-3) #2 and Las Rozas (3-5) #3.

Although Las Rozas and Coslada would both be 3-5 under this scenario, Las Rozas wins the tie-breaker. They split their two games but Las Rozas wins out by aggregate score in the two contests having outscored Coslada 26-15.

The Cobras would host the 3-5 Las Rozas Black Demons if this scenario happens.

SCENARIO 2: If Granada and Coslada both win then it would be 7-1 Barberà #1, 5-3 Granada #2 and 4-4 Coslada #3.

The Cobras would host the 4-4 Coslada Camioneros if this scenario happens.

SCENARIO 3: If Las Rozas and Barberà both win then it would be 8-0 Barberà #1, 4-4 Las Rozas #2 and 4-4 Granada #3.

Las Rozas would get the higher seed and a first round home game based on the Black Demons having beaten Granada in both of their confrontations.

The Cobras would host the 4-4 Granada Lions if this scenario happens.

SCENARIO 4:  If Las Rozas and Coslada both win then it would again be 7-1 Barberà #1, 4-4 Las Rozas #2 and 4-4 Granada #3.

In this scenario, 4-4 Coslada, even with an epic upset of the Rookies, wouldn't make the playoffs as they would still lose both tie-breakers to Las Rozas and Granada. Coslada lost both games against the Granada Lions and would still lose the tie-breaker vs. Las Rozas as outlined in SCENARIO 1 above.

Las Rozas wins the tie-breaker vs. Granada in this scenario as discussed in SCENARIO 3 above.

The Cobras would host the 4-4 Granada Lions if this scenario happens.

All that being said . . .

BEAT THE BÚFALS!!!
