17. LIBERTY HALL
The Late Fees start the tournament off with a rematch of a game they lost earlier this season to the Corksuckers, 12-14. The Corksuckers have been on quite a roll and I see the outcome of this game being quite the same, and that’s okay. If the Fees do stumble out of the gate they are my favorite to take home the Less Awesome Bracket hardward. And, hey, if they do they will end the season with quite a run and a record above .500

18. FREE STATE
The Growlers are the only team from the top four pools to drop below half way mark in tournament seeding. On the plus side of things they’ve won every game they should have on paper. On the down side, they lost every game they probably should have as well. Free State’s first game is against Red Lyon, who beat them by 15 runs only a few weeks ago. Pencil the Growlers in as a lock for the Less Awesome Bracket Final 4.

19. CHANNEL 6
The Toe Pokes are the highest seeded team out of Pool 6 and they are also the lowest seeded team with a winning record. They could give Shaolin a run for their money in game one, but if they falter they are a dangerous team in the Less Awesome bracket with a cast of capable males kickballers and some of the best females in the league. Another lock for Less Awesome Bracket Final 4 (if they lose game 1 – sounds weird, right?).

20. GANG GREEN
Gang Green is still looking for their first back-to-back wins of the season and they could be primed and ready to make that happen if Slowride doesn’t show up to play. I’ve watched a couple games where Gang Green looked like they were turning the corner. It’s that time of year where anything can happen. Let’s see if they are ready to be a Cinderella story in 2012.

The past few weeks have been unkind to West Coast Saloon, who have lost by nearly 10 runs a game over that period. Surviving the first weekend of the tournament, on either side, should be considered a success.

It’s likely been a season to forget for A-Head, who have regressed a bit from the past couple of seasons. They should be playing next Sunday if they can keep it together in their second game tonight in the Less Awesome Bracket.

23. GHOSTS
The Ghosts have been scoring in bunches against similarly matched competition. I don’t see them pulling off the upset against the Screamers in game 1, but they could make a splash in the Less Awesome Bracket. Their likely match-up with Dirty Mike in their second game this Sunday should be one of the better early round match-ups in the Less Awesome Bracket.

Likely a quick out in the main event, the Brewballers have played well during the second half of the season. Another capable team in the Less Awesome Bracket. A game 2 match-up with the Rockets should be a good one.

25. ROCKETS
The Rockets dropped several close games this season and still seem to be piecing the kickball puzzle together. Fortunately for them, they seem be be having fun while they do it. Their Less Awesome Bracket games look like tough match-ups. If they can pull off a couple of upsets their season will be completely turned on it’s head.

How does the last seed go to a team with 2 wins? That’s just messed up. They have twice as many wins as two other teams and are tied with the Tellerdactyls in the win column, with two wins apiece.

***NOTE***
The raw numbers following the division scores and pool scores are averages of the number of runs the particular team has scored per run allowed.
Example: Game 1, Team A wins 5-1. Game 2, Team A loses 5-9. Their average would be 1.000 having scored 10 runs and having allowed 10 runs.
