PBA Elite League Rounds 9 and 10

S. Samek

Last Night was the next round of PBA Elite League action. Let’s see what happened on the lanes. Note some teams have played 10 matches and some nine so the standings might seem a bit off.

The team to beat is still the Las Vegas High Rollers. They have a record of 7-2 after a win over Dallas, that included a roll-off that ended in a tie and required another roll-off.

Portland moved up the rankings to second at 7-3. The Lumberjacks won in a roll off against New Jersy then repeated the feat against Akron. I would call them my team on the rise for this round.

Next in the standings are the Kingpins, who lost their lone matchup of the night to fall to 6-3. Akron fell to 6-4 with a pair of losses during round nine and 10.

The Motown Muscle improved to 5-5 with a 2-0 record for the night. While the LA X lost both of their matches to drop to 4-6. However, the X are still in the playoffs with the final spot.

Dallas is the first team out with a 2-7 record. Despite a valiant effort against Las Vegas, it wasn’t enough for them to earn a win. Waco is 1-8 after dropping their only match of the night to Motown. Neither of them seem to be finding their footing this season and it wouldn’t surprise me if both of these teams miss the playoffs.

This round seemed to tighten up the standings a bit at the top. Can the High Rollers keep their first-place spot, or will the Lumberjacks take it from them? stay tuned for the next round.
