AFTER 2 BRACKETS


Changes in the East since last bracket
-- Charleston jumps past Dallas into second place behind Oklahoma City, with the Demons dropping to third. 

Changes in the West since last bracket
-- Seattle, by virtue of its blow-out win against L.A., takes over first from Gillette, with the Humps dropping to second despite their win against Sacramento.
-- By the same token, although they both lost, Sacramento gets out of the cellar and is replaced by Los Angeles.

BRACKET NO. 3
-- Bracket 3 kicks off with a cross-over, pitting Philadelphia and Los Angeles. The Phobia has managed to look impressive in two close losses to stiff competition, while L.A. has take two sound beatings.

The FEATURED GAME in this bracket is the fourth one, which has Oklahoma City hosting the three-time defending champs from Dallas, fresh off their first defeat in 19 contests. Should be a capacity crowd.
