2013 eSFL Ballistic Bowl RECAP

Ballistic Bowl 14 was the largest payout in the 14 year history of the league. 28 teams from two conferences competed over 12 regular season weeks for an opportunity to be in the tournament of 16 and to place their team name in the list of winning organizations. Many believe this years playoffs were the best representation of quality opponents from round one all the way to the end. 

The Billiecats began the season as the McKevitt Meatstyx, didn't show up for the draft, didn't participate in two-a-days, and were forced to relinquish the team. Mr. E. Garcia  was awarded ownership and quickly built a wonderful defensive squad and built offensive depth via the free agency market. The team began the season with a loss against the Klimko K's but ran off four wins in a row before ownership was stricken with tragedy and was forced to sell the team to P. Klimko for the rest of the way. Working on strict player movement guidelines, coach K led the team to 10 wins over the next 11 weeks for the title.

The Perdew Pulverizers didn't miss the draft and likely had their second best pre-season preparation in the teams 6 year history. After a 1-3 start coach Josh put together enough wins to make a playoff run that resulted in the teams first ever conference title and Ballistic Bowl experience.

As far as the game results, the Billiecats were never in jeopardy of losing around halftime of the late games on Sunday. The two coaches discussed the outcome and congratulated each other for a wonderful season live on eSFL Radio after Sunday afternoon games were final. The Cats were led by game MVP Garcon and honorable mention Jamaal Charles. Defensively they got 27 from Quinn that all but put a dagger in the hearts of Pulverizers fans. 

Congratulations to both owners and thanks from the commissioner for another competitive but quality sportsmanship fantasy football season from all league owners. Below is the payout layout for the 2013 season.

2013 Playoffs-COMPLETE

After Round 4

Seeding was based on the following:



Pardue did not submit, he had #1 seed in Vintage so he was matched with lowest points team.



Kav had # 2 seed, he submitted and selected Viall.



Billiecats had #1 seed in Nebula, he did not submit and was matched with lowest points fielded.



Crush had #2 seed in Nebula and he submitted Dlugiewicz.



These individuals have reseed priority for round 2 if they win in round 1 and keep their seed they acquired at seasons end (Pardue-Kav and Psycho-Orange). The playoff layout stated round two reseed would be based on points fielded in round 1 but I have decided that will not be the case. Each team has earned their position so should keep it. Non division winners in round one will be seeded based on points fielded in round 1.


PLAYOFFS! The following teams are in the playoffs!:
Orange, Houston, Wallies, Psycho, Snoop, Klimko, Humanoid, Dlugiewicz

Pardue, Kav, Zima, Viall, Frost, Perdew, Fields, Texan

The following owners must submit to me in order a list of their preferred opponents in round 1 of the playoffs, the list must contain all non division winners who are in the playoffs. The division winners and owners who must send me the list are:
1. Pardue
2. Kav
3. Billiecats
4. Crush
In your list you must list from 1 thru 6 in order who you wish to play. This list must be posted or sent to me no later than Wend at 0600 ET. If the list isnt done by then you will be seeded by whats left based on lowest points fielded. Your selections include all playoff teams in the conference, so you may play non division opponents in round 1 if you wish.
