A new start to a new Interleague! Pre-season Predictions

Welcome to GIT season 1 everyone! It's not every day we get a new interleague that works out right. Chris had the first thought of making an interleague of his own, with new elaborate rules and a brand new format. Joe came up with the wild cards idea which I think is good because it is something new. I wanna thank all 6 admins for their hard work to help bring to us something new & fun. Since it is only Season 1 they chose to allow only 8 leagues in the interleague, just like IPA had done in it's first season, and look at it now at Season 3. There are new & special rules for this interleague and I would like everyone participating in it to read them over and ask the staff for any help. Also, if anyone has any ideas on how we can make GIT better in the following season, or even this one, contact Chris and/or Joe and they will do their best on making them happen. For now I will be predicting alongside Mister Predictor, Timm, Ben and Tyler, and any other person willing to be a predictor is very welcome. Once again, I would like to wish all 8 teams participating in GIT season 1 the best of luck. Let's make this a big one!


Pre-season Predictions



#1 position - Magic Pool

I have seen & read all 4 predictors' point of views. They all placed MP in the lower 4 positions which I think will hunt them down once the season kicks off and pursuits till it's end. Some may think now that I am only predicting MP first to suck up to the h/a but I can assure you it is not for that reason. Steve and Missy are 2 new players to MP interleagues, that joined to help Chris and MP out. I know that Missy is a very nice banker, and she is also one of the best female pool players out there today. Steve is admin in several cam comps and also a great player. Then there's Joe, then there's Ian, who is one of the originals for Magic Pool, and let's not forget to mention, the great Chris. They have many others of course, but I'm not going to talk about all 1 by 1. My point is that these 5 together form a strong team that will thrive to get MP back up the standings in every interleague they participate in and win the big thing: the championship!


#2 position - Extreme Pool Competitors

Isn't it fun predicting myself in third person? Well for me it sure is. I could have put EPC first in rank, but I would hate doing that. I mean, it's already Hell predicting yourself and your own team and trying not to do favoritism or anything. But in reality, I think EPC will be either 1st or 2nd in GIT. Some may find it funny, I don't care what they think sadly though. We all already know what EPC is doing in IPA with Jack as captain, and we know that they are yet to be defeated and have a nice roster. Amazingly, they have a much bigger and better roster in GIT, I won't say any names, but you all will find out shortly, wont you? Jack says he does not plan on losing ANY week, though he's not the captain here, but Timm promises the very same thing.


#3 position - British (Brit) Pool

I was planning under Freedom and StraighShots but I took a look at their signed up players and I find they are not bad at all. It's no wonder: Drew started rebuilding BP, I mean by increasing his league's activity, ie: league games and trnys. Also, after 8 ball crushers quit all interleagues due to lack of further interest, so a good part of 8BC interleague players moved to BP, not just in GIT, but every other interleague too. Some others came because the league activity was good. Right now they have a good list of players but it all depends on who they pick every week. Sadly that will be their bigest weakness throughout the season, picking the right people out of so many players. I say their key players would be Drew, Jeremy, and prolly 10cent [I heard he's good].


#4 position - Straight Shots

Nigel is 1 that sure hates making predictor pictures for Jack, lol. Straightshots is a good league [fun & active]. There have been a few rumors a while before that a few ss players have aimers, but SS now participates in Cam interleague [with the exception of UIC, but apparently, they are even camming there]. This interleague will be a great chance to prove to a few that they can bank on cam same way as off cam. They have a big roster like BP, and they will face the same disadvantages which is mainly the selection of the correct 5 players each & every week. I know some of their signed up players like Shannon, Nigel, Mike and Nish. They are decent players and will guarantee a continuous good performance.


#5 position - Operation Freeeeeeeeedom!

I'd normally predict Freedom 1st or 2nd, but I unfortunatly cannot, because they only have 3 players signed up and with 3, there is'nt much they can do. But Peter's a good man, loyal and truthful. If he can manage to get his same IPA players in GIT then it will be alright, unless he decides to withdraw and play for someone else which I sure don't wanna see happening. Well I just spoke to Peter and he says he will have a full team, a capt and a co-capt by sunday, so heads up duke and ben, I could erase all that I wrote up there but i cba, lol. I do believe in Peter, I really think he will do well and prove the 2 other predictors wrong! Consider yourself as #2-3 rank, Ily poo :X


#6 position - Ultimate Outlaws

I don't even have to look at signed up players for UO, because I already know they should have plenty and even if they don't, it's a piece of cake for them getting people signed up. I had a nice 3-4 week road with UO in WPC, it was very fun, I met new people and they are very nice and sportsmanlike to say the least. I don't know how but everytime I went to their league room, there would be like 20 or more league members there but they only run 10-20 trnys a day. Anywhore, they withdrew from WPC not agreeing to the rules it appears. Hope all goes well for UO in GIT, Reb's a nice guy and a good cap'n, also a great head admin, he just has to control his and her wife's temper sometimes. If everything goes well with them, they should do fine this season, maybe even get in top 5, let's wait & find out.


#7 position - Extreme Cues

Eh, I bet Duke and Ben won't be happy seeing where I placed them, but guess what, it's my personal opinion. I know Mitch left EC and some came back to playing more, there is even more league activity, but I really don't know how that will help in interleagues. They have a few players signed up, I only see Paul & Derek in that team that are good, Ben & Duke are okay I guess. I personaly don't see them going far up the standings, but who says i'm right. I'm just 1 guy doing his predictions, other's may think completely different, I just have 3 words to those who don't like this prediction...Prove me wrong!


#8 position - Money In The Bank

Uhm, I still don't know MIB well, some say they are arrogant and cocky, some say different, guess I'll have to play them myself to find out, till then I got nothing much to say about them. They only got 4 people signed up, and it's people I've never heard of in my ypool life.They are new to interleagues, and I don't see them doing much in an interleague full of good leagues. Good luck!


Well there they are, I put time on these, yes even hours so no lame comments, enjoy! Week 1 should be up shortly..
