Reign Delay

Week 12 Washed Out

Pools formed in the infield at Clarendon Park Friday evening

Rock Salt's coronation as the regular-season champ will have to wait a week.

Two weeks of daily rain culminated in an impressive downpour late Thursday evening that rendered Clarendon Park unplayable on Saturday. Games will be made up this coming Saturday.

While this Saturday's makeup games will settle playoff positioning, lineups will be different due to the Labor Day weekend and some players having already made holiday plans.

For example, Crossroad's Anthony Halpin will miss his team's big tilt against the YMYF Defenders. The Defenders themselves will be missing several players, whereas they would have had a full team this past Saturday. Presumably, this changes the odds of who wins, which could affect playoff seeding differently than if the games were played this past Saturday.

Here are the playoff implications:

Rock Salt is the #1 seed, win or lose.
The YMYF Defenders are the #2 seed, win or lose.
Covenant gets the #3 seed if they beat Saltier, making the Crossroads-Defenders game irrelevant. Crossroads would be the #4 seed; Saltier the #5 seed.
Crossroads gets the #3 seed if they beat the Defenders AND if Saltier beats Covenant. Saltier would be the #4 seed; Covenant the #5 seed.
Saltier get sthe #3 seed if they beat Covenant AND the Defenders beat Crossroads. Covenant would be the #4 seed; Crossroads the #5 seed.
In Focus Classic gets the #6 seed if they beat the YMYF Mustard Seeds. The Seeds would be then #7 seed.
The YMYF Mustard Seeds get the #6 seed (no pun intended) if they beat In Focus Classic. Classic would then be the #7 seed.
The In Focus Cowboys are the #8 seed, win or lose.
