Well folks a quarter of the League's regular season is in the books, so I thought to do a brief resume of each division.

AC EAST
As expected the Sheper Rams are leading the AC East, but the Gamblers are right on their tail making them sweat it out. Gamblers have one more game played and are one game behind the Rams who already had their week bye. These two teams already faced each other once and on that ocasion the Rams were superior winning 31-7 and showing who still is the top team in AC East....(Or are they...)On the bottom part both the Mighty Lions and the Islanders seems to be destined to fight to avoid the last place of the division. The distance between these two teams and the two teams ahead of them is imo far from beeing big, but so far the results are not encouraging for them. Mighty Lions just came out of a league bye week while Islanders still to have theirs to come, and both sit at 1 win records..

AC NORTH
After a hot start by the Barnim Steel that lead this guy to believe we could have a close race to see who wins the AC North division this season...but the Gladiators seem to be well on their way to once again win the AC East, that despite the clear improvement made by Barnim Steel who clearly got closer to the Gladiators playing level this season. As it was showen when these two teams faced each other where the outcome was a Gladiators victory but in a very close game, 19-13 was the score. Nakkiga is playing the odds and are creeping up, they now have the same record as Barnim and are playing all their chips in the second spot finish, these two teams also faced each other with a clear win by Barnim, 34-10. Advantage Steel! Last but not least we have the rookie team W.W.W. Release, they already nabbed their first win and despite some talks about possible surrendering of ownership it seems like ‘Fish as reconsidered and keept going with his team. For them it’s about enduring this season and get back stronger, no real shot at the top teams this season.

AC SOUTH
Well more of the same in the top of the AC South, Mighty Magpies are leading it undefeated, so nothing new there. Suprisingly tho, we have the russian side NasheDeloTabak actualy starting to live up to the hype! They are 4-1 and are in a very good position to at least take a shot at the Postseason via WC. Magpies and NasheDeloTabak faced each other with teh win smiling to the canadian side, 24-0 was the score. Still they are thus far one of the suprises of this season imo. Not far behind comes Lanmeur BZH and the Kentucky Thoroughbreds both with the same record (2-3) and both still very much in it. The AC South more competitive then last season.

AC WEST
After 5 weeks the AC West is completely up for grabs. No single team was yet able to pull away from the others, the current leader and big favourite to win it Valdanois, are sitting on top with a 2-2 record, they don’t seem to be in the shape that lead them to the postseason and late SC stages last season, but they are grinding it out and still are on top. Acorns and Destroyers follows them with a 2-3 record, both spanish sides will be a big threat to the French for the remainder of the season. Destroyers already faced and lost against Valdanois in a very tight game (24-16) so expect more of the same when these teams meet. Should be interesting to follow... The other team of the division and currently sitting in the last spot with a 1-4 record the Squirrels are also not out of it just yet, they have played some really good games like the one against the Magpies where they barely lost, so they can comeback and fight it out with those other 3 teams.

NC EAST
On the NC East we have another pleasent suprise, the Academicals are neck and neck on the top of the division chalenging the Underachievers! Both teams are 4-1 and with one game already played between them where the Underachivers won 38-14 we should be in for a good season. Also can’t write out the New York Big Blue (2-2) and the Bahamas Blue Bulls (2-3) who are also looking menacing. It’s still the Underachivers who have the edge but all other teams seem closer..

NC NORTH
As expected Lambruschia is dominating this division, heading undefeated with a 5-0 record they hold a 2 game lead over Maciucarii (3-2) who so far are staying ahead of last season suprise package the Spartans (2-3). These two teams already meet once with the Spartans coming on top (31-21). So with plenty of games to go these two should be battling it out preety hard. On the bottom we have the rookies side Ravencitos, they still seek their 1st Pro (1.1) win and played some close games against higher ranked sides, so hopefully we wil lsee them nab that 1st win soon. They however are not IMO considered a menace for the teams ahead of them.

NC SOUTH
In the NC South no suprises, ASU Bears are leading the pack with a 4-1 record aldo at times looking inconsistent they are the big favourites to finish on top of the division. On the other hand we have Gattopardo who after a disapointing season is coming back with style, currently 3-2 they have the Bears in their sight but despite having them so close I don’t think they have what it takes to overtake them...yet. They faced each other already and it was a slaughter for the Bears (59-3). Still good season for the Italian side so far. On the bottom side we have the Terrapins who just grabbed their first win in a suprise result against the Islanders and right behind them and still looking for their first win we have Krew of Renegades, the Portuguese side is still trying to adapt to the diferent style of the Pro (1.1) league. Both these teams should be a non factor determining who wins this one.

NC WEST
In the NC West I start by saying that both the Gladiatori Roma and the Lyon Eagles have been a bit of a disapointement to me. Neither as a winning record to present infact only Gladiatori doesn’t have a losing record in the division standing at 2-2 while Lyon Eagles are 2-3, both are heavy favourites on this sdivision and even carry some weigth to reach the latest stages, but playing like they have that should be hard. But Still think both will battle it out for the division. Bottom side we have Pako and the Guardians both with 1 win and both with little chance to spoil Gladiatori and Eagles plans of reaching the playoffs. Still, Pako looks better this season then they did last one, and the Guardians already nabbed their 1st win, so positive things to drawn force from.

Nice work

Great as usual

wonderful!
