IPA FINALS

INTERNATIONAL POOL ASSOCIATION FINALS

~MAGIC POOL - VS. - STRAIGHT SHOTS~

PROPOSED LINE UPS

MAGIC POOL- CHRIS, ANDY, SHANNON, NISH, JORDY, CROZZY

STRAIGHT SHOTS- TONZ, JON, KAZI, PASCAL, JAMIE, JAY

The two teams have both had amazing seasons, and dominated their respective divisions. The finals are bo3, in which 2 of the matches will be played today. Magic Pool are full of a bunch of solid players with the likes of Shannon, Nish (WPC MVP), and Jordy. Straight Shots has a solid core of players who can all win and run a open table if it is given to them. Magic Pool has always been one of the toughest teams to knock out in Inter League playoffs and look to finish what could be there final IPA season ever. Magic Pool has had a fantastic run, and win or lose IPA will miss them in the upcoming seasons. I've Predicted against Straight Shots for most of the season, and they have continually proved me wrong over and over. Tonz has captained his team very well, and have the better line up with the likes of Sid/Anil probablly not going to be at the table.

Match 1 - MP 4-3

Match 2 - Mp 4-2

Magic Pool season 5 IPA Champions

I dont expect EPC to show in the other Plate Finals.

MITB season 5 Plate Champions

Playoffs Week 2

Not a lot of time for preds, so ill keep them short and sweet.

Straight Shots vs Pool Fiction
Pool Fiction only could bring 5 to the table last week, and got away with a 4-3 win, while SS had the bye and time to think about how bad they have been playing in inters of late. Pool Fiction will find someway to win this match with the likes of Andy/Jeremy/Lewis.
Pool Fiction wins 4-3

Magic Pool vs Sexy Poolerz
Magic Pool is the best team in the playoffs this season and are strong 1-6. Sexy Poolerz beat a decent freedom team last week with strong play. Magic Pool will take this match 4-2

Bp vs Mitb
Mitb 4-2

Epc vs Ds

Epc wins 4-3

Week One Playoffs

Welcome to Mr Forecaster's Playoff Predictions.

IPA Playoff Qualifying Round
-Freedom Vs. Sexy Poolerz

The line ups should look something like this
Freedom- Eskimo(Petey), Exquisite Ashie(Ashley), Colorado Avalanche Rock(Corey), Un Natural(Trey), Timmmy(Tim), and A_D_A_M(adam). If someone fails to show, Eat.pinaples(Hope) should be the reserve.

Sexy Poolerz- Aaron from hell (Aaron), King.2068(Pete), Cnd_095 (Adam), Black_Stallion009(Irfan), Hornyscots (Ste), and Fission_babe(Anne i think..) Im not sure which id ketan is using now, but if hes there i believe he will be playing over Anne.

The two teams are in my opinion very similar in talent. The key to this match could be that Freedom is the home side, and will have the opportunity to have the match ups they choose. Sexy Poolerz have been playing horrible of late in inter leagues, and can't afford to play as they have in MLP all season. Freedom has a very solid grou
p to match up with SP, and will look to jump on them early. If Freedom gets off to a 2-0, or 3-0 start, then this match is all but in the bag. Sexy Poolerz have trouble playing from behind, and Freedom is just way to solid, and will be looking for revenge and a match up vs Straight Shots next week. I think Freedom will get off to a quick start, and win it 4-2. Final 4-2 Freedom


IPA Playoff Qualifying Round- Match Two
- Pool Fiction vs True Champs

Pool Fiction Line Up (Proposed by me)
Lewisss(Lewis), Hawkeye Striker(Andy), Pro Jeremy(Jeremy), Spc Elite(Brian), xlx_ogges_xlx(ogges), pr0.g0dly(Mina). Reserves- Cubby, Kerry, Brent

True Champs Line Up ( I dont know all of there names so sorry ahead of time)
x_zanik_x(Jan), lvlike_2010(Mike), Seanmannn(Sean), Bow.down31, Rureaper, and Safdarbandali(Saf). Res- Kassi, Viper, Shelia

The two matches this season went 4-2 each way. True Champs picked up the victory in the final match up between the two in the regular season. The match up has been called a fluke by everyone on the Pool Fiction side, and they have widely claimed Kassi and a few others aimered them. Andy stated that he would see them in the playoffs, and well here's Pool Fiction's chance. The playoffs are all cammed, and TC has proved they can compete on cam before. TC inter leagues are getting much better yet again, and Pool Fiction has been a force for as long as i can remember. This match will be close through out, and i think it will go down to a 7th game to decide the winner. Pool Fiction has been down as of late, and were a little stunned last week vs Magic Pool. In my upset of the season, i think True Champs will find a way to pick this victory up, and send Pool Fiction packing. True Champs wins 4-3



IPA Plate Qualifying Round
-Extreme Pool Competitors vs Simply Pool Souls

For the plate playoffs i will merely do predictions and skip the line up part, because quite frankly they didn't do well enough to get the attention the teams in the playoffs did.

Epc has a very strong team when they show, and all manage to report there games, while Simply Pool Souls did about how i expected they would(not very good). Jason just doesn't have the fire power at Sps to compete in inter leagues, and while Jason maintains that he is there for the fun of inter leagues, we all know how competitive he is. The fact is Jason is stuck with Sps as no one else wants him, while SPS needs a inter league mind, and no one else wants to go there. Jack on the other hand, well i wont start to speak about him. The potential Jack has with the stars he brings to the table is always good, but he never gets them at the table. While i think Sps will have the most players at the table, i can see Epc bringing 4-5 players and still winning this match. EPC wins 4-3


IPA Plate Qualifying Round - Match Two
-Money In The Bank vs The Cue Controls

Well neither of these teams have players that just jump out at you besides Steve at TCC (as we seen in shout box he is back for playoffs.) I'm not really sure if TCC has shown with a full team all season, and if they have it was a very weak team. MITB is a very solid team who is gaining experience together, and really improving each week. As i have bashed MITB/Rich before, i will give him credit for doing what he has with no name players. If TCC can some how figure out a way to get 3 wins, then i believe Steve would be enough to carry them in a game 7. Unfortunately i don't think MITB will give them the chance to get into a 7th game, and will take this match. Money In The Bank Wins 4-2


Thanks for reading, and Good Luck to everyone.

WEEK 10 IPA

EXTREME POOL COMPETITORS VS FREEDOM
In a week where all the playoff spots have been clinched, it seems to be a week to play for pride. Epc has had an absolute horrendous season, but they always like to show up vs freedom and Petey. This match has no real significance for the Freedom side other then Trey can clinch at least a share of MVP with a win today. Freedom wins 5-1

SIMPLY POOL SOULS VS STRAIGHT SHOTS
Straight Shots clinched the division and the number one seed last week coming back an 0-2 deficit to beat freedom for the second time this season. SPS has been a easy win for much of this season, and i would be surprised if they can get a win off SS today. Kazi has been SS strongest player this season, and will look to grab at least a share of MVP with a win today. Straight Shots should bring there good squad today since they will have a break before there next match. Straight shots takes this match with ease 6-0

SEXY POOLERZ VS BRIT POOL
With a playoff spot already clinched, and BP eliminated from the play off race this match shouldn't be close. I doubt Brit Pool shows with a full team today if they decide to show it all, but i think they will based of Drew being the head admin of IPA. Sexy Poolerz has been nothing more then solid since coming into IPA about mid way this season, and will be looking forward to their match with Freedom in the playoffs. SP wins 5-1

POOL FICTION VS MAGIC POOL
This is the only match with any meaning this week, but the result needed is very un-likely. Pool Fiction needs to shock Magic Pool and defeat them 5-1 if they want to grab the number two seed. Lewis suffered his first loss last week, and now find himself in a 3 way tie for MVP, and finds himself against a team of very good players. Magic Pool will have the usual team of Anil Croz Shan Nish, and maybe Jordy, while PFN will bring there regulars to the table (Brent,Lewis, Andy) Magic Pool will do enough to hold on to that one seed, but this match will end in a tie 3-3.

MONEY IN THE BANK VS DEADSTROKES
A match with no meaning too either side, should be a very close match. DS has not had the season, while MITB can in my opinion exceed expectations with a win today and finish 4th in the division. Both sides have fairly new players to inter leagues, so it should be quite the bang fest. DeadStrokes wins 4-2

True Champs vs The Cue Controls
Well True Champs finds themselves in 3rd, while TCC has been garbage this season. With only 4 points on the board, and a very solid line up to start the season, can you say FAILURE. True Champs will look to gain momentum with a big match looming in the playoffs vs Pool Fiction(most likely). True Champs takes down TCC 5-1 if Steve even brings a team.

Week 10 IPA

Freedom vs Straight Shots
Freedom looks to try and catch up to SS this week, after faltering of late. Straight Shots on the other hand has been rolling, and seem pretty much unstoppable. Tonz has done a fantastic job this season captaining, and has SS at a 7-1 record. Freedom had SS on the ropes earlier in the season up 2-0, only to lose the last four games. Trey has had a fantastic season for Freedom (6-1 Record), but they need more people to step up. If Ashie and Co. show up this match could be close. Tie 3-3

Extreme Pool Competitors vs Brit Pool
Brit Pool is in contention for the very last playoff spot, while epc hasn't really shown that they care this season. Its pretty much a guarantee that jack will show with no more then 4 people, and is struggling with bringing people to the table. Brit Pool is a decent team, but doesn't have to many super stars. As i've said before, it is so hard to predict Jack's matches because you never know when hes gonna show up.
Brit Pool Wins 4-2

Simply Pool Souls vs Sexy Poolerz
SPS has had an ok season and find themselves out of 3rd by 2 points, but way back in the W-L column. If they want to make the playoffs they need to win their last two matches, and it starts this week with the 3rd place team. Sexy Poolerz always manage to bring a very solid squad to the table, and are never a push over. If they can squeak into the playoffs they have a very good chance at upsetting the number two team who looks to be Freedom. Sexy Poolerz team is just a little too strong for SPS
Sexy Poolerz Wins 4-2

Magic Pool vs DeadStrokes
Magic Pool has had a fantastic season, and find themselves in first place, while Deadstrokes find them selves 4 points behind True Champs for the last spot. This is a huge match for Magic Pool, because they can clinch first next week with just a tie if they win this match. Deadstrokes has shown every week, but they just dont have enough fire power to compete with the top tier teams. Magic Pool takes this match as long as they aren't looking forward to next week.
Magic Pool Wins 5-1

Pool Fiction vs The Cue Controls
Pool Fiction finds themselves right in the middle of another playoff race, what a surprise? They always seem to be right there when it comes playoff time, and have a very solid line up. They have the front runner for the MVP(Lewis 7-0), along with Brent and some other very solid players. TCC has Steve and thats about it, because they struggle bringing full teams to the table. TCC has yet to pick up a win this season, and i think that streak will continue with yet another loss.
Pool Fiction Wins 4-2

Money In The Bank vs True Champs
These two teams have exceeded expectations this season, and both are very solid. True Champs has been dead league wise of late, and who knows if they will show to this match. Money In The Bank always brings a full team to the table, and it might not always be the best team, but they always try. If you can call it an upset, then this is my upset of the week, as i think MITB will take this one.
MITB Wins 4-2

WEEK 8 IPA

The final week before easter break has arrived, and we really only have the 3rd spot to decide in both groups. 1st and 2nd in both groups are pretty much a lock for the playoffs, and they can now focus on trying to win the group.

Match Number 1 - Brit Pool vs Freedom
Freedom comes off a some what lucky tie vs a sexy poolerz team who is very good. Brit Pool suffered a horrendous loss vs a Simply Pool Souls team who is having a pretty bad season them selves. The rivalry between the two leagues has always been there, but it is a very friendly rivalry. Im sure Drew will do all he can to make this match so that he can play his annual match vs Petey. Freedom has 3 people in the Mvp race with Trey only 1 game from it. Trey, Hope, and Ashie have really come up big for this Freedom team this season, and they will look to continue their winning ways come Saturday. Brit Pool will try their absolute hardest, and try and manage to bring a full squad, but Freedom is just way better. Freedom wins 5-1

Match Number 2- Straight Shots vs Sexy Poolerz MATCH OF THE WEEK
Sexy Poolerz managed to get a tie vs a Freedom team that has been very good this season. Straight Shots continued their amazing run by destroying a horrible EPC team. Im sure SP will bring their usual 6 to the table lead by Ste and Aaron who are playing fantastic pool. I seem to pick against Straight Shots every week, and has continuted to bite me in the ass. This match will be close from beggining to end, and probablly come down to the very final match. Draw 3-3

Match Number 3- Extreme Pool Competitors vs Simply Pool Souls
The two bottom feeders of IPA face up in a match that could be big for SPS who still have a shot. Epc roster wise has the better players, but they seem to have thrown in the towell. With gus in the box, its a wonder if jack will even care to show to this match. SPS are the team who just keeps trying, but can only get so close before falttering. Its really hard to pick any match that involves a team of Jack, because you have no clue if hes gonna show, or just not give a damn. SPS wins 4-2

Match Number 4- The Cue Controls vs Magic Pool
TCC has had an absolute horrible season, and has under achieved greatly. Magic Pool seems to always be one of the top teams in IPA, and are led by a fantastic captain in Chris. Shannon has been a huge addition to this team, as he has gone 5-0 since coming over from straight shots. With the likes of Jordy, Anil,Croz, and Shannon they just over match this TCC side who i think will struggle to show with a full team. Steve will surely try his hardest to beat his old team, but i think its just too big of a task. Magic Pool wins 5-1

Match Number 5- Deadstrokes vs True Champs
A match between two teams who are right there when it comes to making the playoffs, and this is a huge match for both. Neither of the teams have great players, or well known super stars, but they show every week, and try their best. This match doesnt have much hype name wise, but im sure it will be a very entertaining match. In the end i think True Champs are just a little better, and will squeak out a win. True Champs wins 4-2

Match Number 6- Pool Fiction vs Money In The Bank
If my mind is thinking correctly, i do believe this MITB team defeated PFN in git two weeks ago. Pool Fiction i don't think will take this match too lightly, and will be looking for revenge. Lewis leads the MVP race for PFN, and it will be huge if he is at the table this week. MITB will do everything they can to keep this match close, and i think they will shock this PFN side again, but only with a draw. Draw 3-3

GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE TEAMS THIS WEEK, AND REMEMBER THEIR IS NO MATCHES NEXT WEEK DUE TO EASTER.
