Rec Center Royalty got their must-win against the Pro Wrestling Tee Slammers.
Season alive. Fourth place. Final playoff spot. One foot in the bracket.
But the door isn't closed yet.
They face a Hyphy Hoopers team fresh off their best performance of the season. Timing is everything in this league. And Hyphy has nothing to lose and every reason to spoil somebody's season.
If Royalty stumbles, the last playoff ticket goes to the winner of Electric Bats vs. Pro Wrestling Tee Slammers.
The Bats are favored.
By 39 points.
That's not a cushion, it's a folding chair.
And then...the two heavyweights face off. The #1 team in the country, the Motor City Sharpshooters, take on the #2 Skyline Swishers.
Three National Championship qualifiers between them, including Swishers captain BDerian who punched his ticket at last weekend's LA Qualifier. But these match-ups aren't decided by the headliners, the whole line-up needs to bring their A-game to get the W.
