As the division standings begin to form, this week end with a fair shake-up as with the Eastern Division battling the Western, teams’ ability to gain ground on their division rivals is available for the taking. Click here to see all lineups!
We begin with a battle between New Jersey and Carolina in a very strange overall match, with the Knockouts possessing a large rating advantage on the top two boards but the Cobras countering with similar rating advantages on the bottom two boards in what should be a very interesting match as despite being severely outrated in all their matches thus far, the Cobras still have yet to lose.
A very interesting match comes next with a rematch of the 2006 USCL Championship between San Francisco and New York, with both teams using very strong lineups and also featuring an interesting rematch on Board Two between SM Herman and IM Naroditsky, who contested a controversial and very interesting game back in 2009 which nearly won that year’s Game of the year.
In a first ever meeting, Los Angeles takes on Philadelphia in an interesting matchup, the Vibe using their most stacked lineup of the season thus far while the Inventors counter with their usual strength and a very high rating average.
Next on the agenda Manhattan battles with Arizona, with the Scorpions finally featuring two of their new players for this season. Overall this should be a very even matchup as Manhattan looks to take over clear first in their division while the Scorpions look to rebound from a tough defeat last week.
And finally Baltimore takes on Seattle with the Kingfishers looking to turn their luck around after an tough sweep in Week 2 followed by an unfortunate mouseslip in Week 3 which cost them an easy match win in Week 3. The Sluggers, on the other hand, have already managed to turn their Week 1 sweep well around having won two straight and will surely look to continue that trend as they battle for first in the West.
Tune in Monday to check out all the action as the second week of Interdivision play occurs!
