WEEK 3 SCHEDULE
POWER RANKINGS 1. Violently Masterbunting They improved to 2-0 and hosted their first shut out party of the season. They did it against a very good Kick Tease squad and they seem to have what it takes to have a great season. They ve got another tough game this week against the Clan, let s see if they can stay on top. 2. Dream Crushers They ve crushed two teams Dreams thus far and they are very excited to crush another this week. They ve got a fire hot Fire Ballz deep who is also currently undefeated. They may need to bring a cooler of ice if they plan to cool them down. 3. Fireballz Deep Another game, another win. FBD is currently handling the business and we know they want to continue to win. They got an undefeated Dream Crusher team this week and we know they d love to Crush their Dreams by kicking those ballz deep and cruising to a win. 4. Foot Clan Although very shorthanded they fought hard and kept things very close in a game they ended up losing against the Dream Crushers. Don t let this loss fool you, they are a very good squad but for some reason they like to save their best playing for playoffs. 5. Jelly Time They are a new squad but they are getting the job done and producing wins at will. They were down early in this one and came back and cruised to victory. This is one of those teams you ve gotta watch out for, they will beat you. You ve been warned. 6. Kick Tease They are currently 0-2 and they need to right the ship soon before it is too late. They ve got a hungry Kickheads this week who need a win desperately as well. Should be a very good game and they ll need to pull out all the stops to get their first win of the season. 7. Friends without Benefits Even while shorthanded they were able to pull out a tie against a very good Wasted Talent squad. They are off to a very good start and we are excited to see what they can do this season. Time will tell! 8. WAKA WAKA WAKA They came out and produced their first win and did so in a blow out game. WAKA WAKA WAKA has started out the season very well producing a win and a tie, lets see if they can continue their hot streak with more wins. 9. Kickin & Waffles They didn t lose this week, that s a plus. They scored some runs this week, that s a plus. They didn t let the other team score more than them, that s a plus. They tied. Minus 10pts. That s how fantasy kickball works. K & W needs some wins to get back on track. Get it done. 10. Wasted Talent 2.0 Two games, two ties. At least they refuse to lose. That s a good thing. They ll need to learn how to turn these ties into wins if they expect to be successful this season. They ve got talent on the team, they just need to learn how to work together and use. We have a feeling they ll get their soon. 11. Kickheads The kickheads are another squad that can t seem to get over the tie game hump. They ve got the experience, they ve got the skill. They just need to get it done. Let s see if they can turn things around this week, pull an upset and get their first win! 12. Rikickulous They lost to a very good FBD team. They scored some runs and didn t let them completely run away with the game so that bodes well for this squad. They ll need to keep doing what they do and the wins will start coming. A slow start that we think should turn around soon. 13. BSB Two games, no losses. This warrants a move up in the standings. They got a win in week one and a tie in week two. They are currently moving and shaking, getting the wins and ties as needed. We know they have experience; they ll need to keep using it to produce those wins. Great start BSB! 14. Pitch Please Great first win of the season. They came out firing, scoring numerous runs and playing some lock down D against a very experienced team. If they keep this up, we don t know where their ceiling will be. Let s go Pitch Please! Get it done! 15. We Put the FU in Fun Two games two losses. They ll need to get it going if they expect to salvage the season. We have a feeling they have what it takes to turn things around but they need to get it together and put together some wins soon. Can they get it done this week against Wasted Talent 2.0? 16. That Better Team They had the win in their hands and let it slip away and ended the game with a loss. We feel this team has what it takes and with experience, these types of losses will become wins. They ll just need to learn how to finish and the sky will be the limit. 17. FloCo Ballers They tied an experienced team. We gotta give em some props for that. It wasn t a win, but it wasn t a loss so they ve gotten better and that s all that matters. We moved them up one and hope they can continue to improve. Best of luck! 18. BallzDeep They lost to a brand new squad and unfortunately lost bad. This gets you in the basement until you earn your way out. They look great in pink though and we have a feeling they ll bounce back soon.
