You can read the press magazine and the novice press. and check out the post-session stats leaders (goals, assists, saves and blocks).
Oulu upend the Argyle in front of the entire league and struggle past both the Orchestra and Valencia to begin their comeback. The Bootleggers beat Arsenal, GUN, and the Horn to take over first, and Arsenal win their other two matches to ease into second. The Automata take a single shot to beat Valencia and escape the cellar.
The Comedians are going for subtlety, letting 2 goals stand for an MVP and the division lead. The Rovers give up 5 goals *twice* to fall behind, and Wee Alpha grab 6 goals for an MVP of their own. A large gap over the last 3 teams has opened, and everyone has proved vulnerable.
The Brotherhood treat Yang like they treated Pacific last season, and take a 2-point lead. Plymouth give up only one goal in keeping pace, and the Capitols begin their quest for the record in scoreless draws.
The Taskers get another MVP, but we'll see if they can duplicate the quality of the press from last time. The St. Olaf Feuders keep their goal clean and maintain first place, and the HOwling Wind fall back in the chase a little.
The Bombers take their 6th straight scoreless draw, while the Wookies show that 3 points can be good for the division lead. The Chaos get organized for an MVP and 13 goals, and Mulhouse take their first 3 points.
The Bohs beat the Barrabases, who likewise serve the first loss to the Juggernaut, and the Capitals allow no goals, rounding out the current leader board. The Blow Fish are still looking for their first score; maybe they should try WTF's strategy of NMR?
Faroer serve notice that they intend to take over this division, as only the second-place Musicians can so much as draw them. Everyone else has at least a win and a loss, although the top four teams are doing very well on goal difference.
Four MVPs move their owners into the lead, and bump the bottom four teams virtually out of the division race. The Tumbleweeds get smashed for 12 goals.
Aurora recover from a month of disasters to take the Utensils out of the division lead, now occupied by Mad Face. WA-HA continue the fine art of defense, and the Excuses continue to be digustingly mediocre. Borg get hammered, but still look to assimilate the rest of the division.
The Lions take the season's first point from Pierrepont, but the Bulgarians still lead the division. The Emperors keep pace to take second, and the Swamprotters win all 3 to move into third. Three teams are still looking for that finishing touch, although lack of goals hasn't stopped the Sundowners from scoring a few draws.
Italy loses to the Industrialists but manage to keep the lead, still ahead on Bounty due to goaldifference. Bounty, still in second, gets a win and two draws to keep them just ahead of the MVP-winning maniacs who come rushing up for one of the top spots. On the other end of the table, Lost and Found just found a victory lying around, which together with a draw gives them a 50% session and a little lead ahead of the other bottom team Vienna, despite a OBT-like performance (take a look at the number of accurate shots they don't have!)
None of last session's MVP'ers got the same amount of success this session. The sourcerors lose to Sydney in the last match, who with that grabs their first MVP and moves up to third in the standings. One can hardly talk about upsets in the novice division, so I guess there is nothing more to report, I'd better just send this out.
