The finals are set, and yes,

we have a Cinderella story for March Madness!

Tuesday's action saw Assante, coming from the 5th seed, beat the 1 seed, Baynish, to advance to the final against the 3 seed, Bridgewater.  The 1 and 2 seed will meet in the consolation game and Just Alex has the week off, but we hope they join us for Pizza and Beer Tuesday night.

See every Tuesday for an exciting finale to a great season.

March Madness

Forget NCAA, we have our own March Madness with the 2 higher seeds losing in the opening round of playoffs.  Both games were tight, coming down to final stones in both.  Assante had the first OT win of the playoffs, putting one on the button that just refused to be taken out.

Still trying to alter schedule, but no luck so far, which means things could get ugly in the schedule as Assante is mostly out this week and Bridgewater having 6pm issues.  I will continue to try, so stay tuned, but if things don't get shifted, teams need to be ready to play the following schedule.

Playoff Week 1 March 5th

Game 1: Bridgewater over Formerly 4
Game 2: Assante over Just Alex
Bye week: Baynish

Playoff Week 2 March 12th

(Extra Ice at 6pm) Game 3: Baynish vs Bridgewater
Game 4: Assante vs Loser Game 3 (Baynish or Bridgewater)
Game 5: Formerly 4 vs Just Alex

Playoff Week 3 March 19th

Consolation Game 7: Loser Game 4 (Assante or Baynish or Bridgewater) vs Winner Game 5 (Just Alex or Formerly 4)
Loser of game 5 does not play
