Mixed Discussion

  • A brilliant opening weekend at PEC East for Philadelphia AMP sent the power program shooting up the rankings into the top 5. That’s backed by a win over XIST, with their only loss coming to Slow. That resume’ll play.
  • There was much internal discussion about what to do with Ann Arbor Hybrid after their two-loss showing. How much do they get an early season discount? Such is the art of Power Ranking. We decided they could earn their way back up the division’s elite tier – those losses have to be taken into account.
  • After losses to Sprocket and Slow, Union mostly played PEC East’s lower tier competition, but did win four straight, including smashing ‘Shine 14-7 in the 9th place game.

Women’s Discussion

  • Like AMP, Flight are the weekend’s big winner, impressing with confident wins over Parcha and Heist and a narrow loss to BENT. It has been a long time since we’ve seen a women’s division team from the area start this well.
  • Despite Brute and BENT both taking the field, they mostly did as expected on balance. Perhaps there is an argument to move Boston up one or BENT down by the same number, but PEC West will sort some things out.
  • Inauspicious opener for Washington DC Grit, at the same time as fellow MA club Flight are looking strong. Grit went 2-4, with both wins coming by a single goal over Ozone and Dolly for President. Their offseason losses look like they will require an adjustment period.

Men’s Discussion

  • Hard to argue with DiG taking a leap towards the top shelf after they won PEC East, comfortably taking down PoNY and Machine along the way. Even with a loss to Doublewide, it was convincing enough, despite some absences.
  • Speaking of absences, Truck Stop sent a skeleton crew and Machine were shorthanded in North Carolina. But so were a lot of teams. Truck Stop’s roster really doesn’t feel representative, insulting them from a further fall.
  • Chain Lightning have some big holes to fill, but looked like they were building in the right direction. They stacked up solid wins after their initial losses to Machine and Sub Zero.
