Pool 2 update
As expected, the final bout in pool 1 was no contest. The Texecutioners pounded the Kansas City Roller Warriors 62-16, putting them into the Championship bout later tonight and opening the door for the Dairyland Dolls to play the 3rd place Grudge Match.
The story in Pool 2 was the collision course between Rat City and Minnesota. Both teams blew past their competition, setting up a battle worthy of the venue. Unfortunately, as a certain Star Trek character once said, "having is not so pleasing a thing as wanting." Minnesota has a reputation for hard-hitting action, but Rat City took it all and gave it all back with a vengeance. Paramedics were called at least twice in the first 5 minutes of the bout, with both skaters able to walk over to the bench after some help. In the end, the home town crowd provided fuel to the fire as Rat City booked a spot in the Championship with a 46-24 victory. The Grudge Match will be just that, as Minnesota will play the Dairyland Dolls for the second time in 8 days.
Results of pool 2:
Bay Area 29 Minnesota 53
Carolina 27 Rat City 64
Minnesota 55 Carolina 35
Bay Area 13 Rat City 68
Bay Area 24 Carolina 30
Minnesota 24 Rat City 46
Special Note: Rat City was so far ahead in their bouts that their blockers started giving leg whips to their jammers. Instead of extending a hand to help them along, they offered a foot to whip them ahead. None of the announcers had ever seen that in a bout before.
More results later tonight if possible. No later than tomorrow morning.

Here's an example of Rat City's leg whip. Pivot (D-Bomb) and Jammer (Femme Fatale) are sisters who cooked up that move while practicing for the Bumberbout.
