PIFF/PIML Highlights thru the Playoffs

Hello,
  We are heading into the championship games in both leagues, so lets get caught up with how the playoffs have gone so far:

PIFF:  The playoffs started in week 15, the Kreplachistan Rebels and Tuskestan Pickles got first round byes, while the Tea Republic Steepers beat the Scotslandi Kilters and the Svinksland Pillagers beat the Ninja Isle Eldars.
  The second week of playoffs saw the Kreplachistan Rebels beat the Tea Rebulic Steepers, while the Svinksland Pillagers got on by the Tsukestan Picklers.
  This sets up the Championship Game of the Kreplachistan Rebels vs. the Svinksland Pillagers.  This will be the second time that the Pillagers have made it to the championship game, the other time was the first season of PIFF in which they lost to the Grog Island Drunks.  The Rebels on the other hand have played in more than half of the championship games (this will make 4 out of 7) and is the only team to be the champion twice (2004 & 2007).  The projected score for the game is giving an edge to the Rebels by only one point.

PIML:  The PIML playoffs started last week and had the Tea Republic Boilers taking out the Tai Shu Trip'ems, while the Battle Cove Coasters beat the late surging Pesce Bay Savvy Sirens.
  So the first ever PIML championship game will be played out between the two heavy favorite from the start of the season - the Battle Cove Coasters and the Tea Republic Boilers.  Early reports heavily favor the Boilers however that projected score greatly depends on the performance of Chris Johnson for the Boilers.

I will get out the final All-Star totals as well as season All-Stars after the Championship Games.

PIFF/PIML Highlights and All-Stars 09 Week 2

Week two is finished and in both leagues there is 1 team in each division that is undefeated, 1 that has lost both games, and the rest is 1-1. It looks like there might not be a runaway team this year in either league.

In PIFF the Scotslandi Kilters put the smack down on the Maties winning 51-17. The Pillagers are one of the 2 win teams however they have scored the least amount of points in either league. They have been very lucky with their match-ups so far. Meanwhile the Picklers who are the other 2-0 in PIFF has scored 82 points which is tied for the best total points.


In the PIML the surprising Tai Shu Trip'ems are leading the way with a 2-0 record. However the Boilers posted an impressive 53 points which was 23 more points than anyone else in the PIML.

PIFF/PIML Highlights and All-Stars 09 Week 1

The first week is over, and some teams picked up where they left off last season and there looks to be some new threats out there.

First I should point out that over at pirateislandsff.blogspot.com is the blog for PIFF and PIML, in the past I have just reposted the emails with some images in them. This year however there will be incentive to go check out the blog because Aaron (Kreplachistan Rebels) has been added as an author of the blog and he will be writing articles about the season as it happens. He has good insight into Fantasy Football so be sure to check up on the blog to see what he has to say.

In the PIFF both the Steepers and the Plankers posted big numbers in their wins, both teams look to maintain their high competition level this year. The two surprise teams after the first week are the Nites who are second in scoring in the Black Division, and the Picklers who usually save their wins for the second half of the season. It looks like this will be a tougher season all the way around for everyone in the PIFF.


PIML kicked off the opening week with round of high scores. The Battle Cove Coasters had little trouble with the Boilers. While the Focus outlasted the Sirens and the Trip'ems tripped up the MonkeyStrings. The Trip'ems posted the high score for the week in the PIML.

Socring is up in week 1, due to two things: 1) Receiving yards now score one point for each 20 yards. 2) There are now bonuses for rushing, throwing, and receiving yards. There might be a couple too many points on the board but we'll live with it for a season and see how things go.

On to the week 1 All-Stars. For a review (or maybe for the first time):
A player must be played to be an All-Star.
Ties are broke by determining which player contributed the most to his team percent wise.
The Coach was decided by seeing which team played most of the points possible, so Matt got 96% of the points possible for his team last week (actual/optimal=percent possible)
