100 POINTS SHOULD GET A WIN.
...except in week two.
"In any given week, if your team can score 100 points, you should get a win," Coach AraMike was heard to say. "But not today."
Both Every Given Sunday and the Miners were outscored over the 100 point mark, the Miners falling to the Cyprus based Nighthawks, who become one of three internationally based teams to move to 2-0. In so doing, it sets up two top of the table contests, the Ded Poets against the Green Beans and the Nighthawks against the Australian Taipans, who blew out their opposition by 60 points.
But the Taipans' have been the fuse that brought about a schedule adjustment, when they discovered that their opposition wasn't ranked correctly. Commissioner McBee has acted and reshuffled some of the late season games, and in turn, given a dream run into the finals to the Surface Skimmers two horse race, the Nighthawks and the Mudville Nine.
Defending Torpedo Bowl Champions the Dragons earned their first win of the season, dropping the Wild Boston Terriers into a gaggle of four teams at 0-2 looking for their first win. When asked, all four owners had the same response.
"We're just getting started, there's plenty of time left."
Some owners were counting their wins a little early this week. The Sunday afternoon games weren't even into the second half before Coach Casey of the Mudville Nine was proclaiming a win. The Canadian based Dead Poets would have none of it, and with three minutes remaining in the Monday Night game, the Mudville team finally fell to the Dead Poets.
Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.
In week two, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present, for his performance of scoring 27 points and lifting them to their first win, WR Steve Smith of the Huge Manatee, the Week Two MVT.
