Incredibly enough, all ten tabs are still open as The CrossBar staff prepare to turn on the ugly lights on the regular season this Sunday. Six teams already have plans to come back for the big playoff party next month, while four teams (Grey, Red, White, and yes…even Gold) still have a chance to snag a last minute invite. Two of those four will party on, and two will have to deal with the sobering reality that the fun and games are officially over…

The CrossBar is jam-packed and jumping, but vibes are turning tense with seven teams still in contention for the top spot through seven weeks of play, and three teams scrapping to join the playoff pack. A four top of teams is sitting with identical 3-3-1 records (good for seven points), while White and Gold are still roaming the scene looking a bit desperate to land their playoff pickup lines. It’s very nearly last call for all involved…time to see who can handle their shots and stay standing, and who will be passing out…

To no one’s surprise, Captain Zach Salt has been a key ingredient in his team’s success this season, but he has been on the periphery (the rim, if you will) of the blend that has slushed out three wins in the last four games. It has been ‘where there’s a Willard, there’s a way’ for Lime, who can take command of the top spot in the standings with a win over ‘that other Salty concoction’ and some help this Sunday…

Captain Jon Salt’s ‘Jonnie Wolmer Blue Label’ have stayed out of reach of ‘the common teams’ all season, still sipping pretty on the highest of shelves in the standings at a smooth 3-0-2. The bitter aftertaste of a loss has yet to touch their lips, and their spirits are high in all ways…

Whether or not the flakes of gold in Goldschläger are real, they go into your digestive system, and out the other end as (sparkly) waste. It’s fitting, then, that Captain Joel Gattey’s ‘Goal-schlägers’ find themselves in the standings toilet through four weeks of play. While they are far from flushed, it’s going to take some difficult, dirty digging and sifting to salvage any real value this season…
