A second consecutive perefect season slipped through Purple Reign's fingers in their second to last game of the season. The defending champion's seventeen game winning streak was snapped on October 28, falling 4-3 to Midtown Division champions, Beans and White Rice. These strong and well tested teams join undefeated top seed and Old Sacramento Division champions, Out Like a Fat Kid as the favorites entering tonight's season ending tournament.

Out Like A Fat Kid's only loss in their last seventeen games came in the Semi-Finals of the summer dodgeball season, losing in overtime to Balls Deep in a hard fought game. The Fat Kids' perfect season leaves some questioning how prepared they enter the playoffs. Playing in a division without the highest profile competition has left critics wondering if the Fat Kids are ready to step it up in the playoffs. Captain, Josh Meisner assures us, that they are ready to go. The Fat Kids draw the eighth seed Ball Gobblers in round one, their first meeting of the season.

Beans and White Rice edged Purple Reign on their way to an undefeated season. Their only blemish was a tie with 8 Inches of Rubber in week two. Star player Giovanni Crotti returned after missing the summer season and brought the team into the top tier. Crotti' impressive hops, sticky hands and throwing arm making any team he's on a formidable force. His impressive talents, though, have produced Jim Kelly-esque results.  Team America is their first round draw as Crotti attempts to lead his team to his first title. When asked if they could beat their heavily favored opponents, Team America responded in unison, "F*** Yeah!"

Purple Reign draws up and coming (and jokingly named) Ho No Mo in the first round. Having shed their former captain, Ho Jang, Ho No Mo has risen from going winless two seasons ago under the name Team F. The embattled dodgeballers managed to make their first playoff as the sixth seed. They will face a tough test in the first round against the defending champions but should be well prepared, having overcome the odds all season.

Not In My Face and More Balls than Brains round out the playoffs in their evenly matched opening round game. More Balls than Brains seeks to avenge their week two loss. They finish the season 6-2 with their only other blemish a tight loss in the final week to Out Like A Fat Kid. Not In My Face brings a 6-1-1 record, having lost a close game to the Fat Kids and tying Bears In Heat.

Will Purple Reign continue their dominance? Will the Fat Kids find a perfect ending to a perfect season? Can Beans and White race overcome a tough first round opponent to end Crotti's frustration and finally bring a championship to one of the game's greats? Will a contender emerge from the rest of the pack?

These questions will be answered on the courts tonight at the Boys and Girls Club at 12th and G. The first round kicks off at 6:45, with the finals scheduled for 9:25.
