First of all i am sorry for no post last week so I will make up for it this week.
Last week was a blow out for two teams last week one in each division. They were SS and GR!
SS were at the wrong end of a shock 5-0 defeat to BP with the trouble maker Pommy playing. UO steam rolled GR 5-0 and they might fancy there chances this week too. In the Diamond Division AP (now known as P2P) defeated PFN 3-2. Pool Fiction had a team out full of the big names, Ogges, Jeremy, Brian to name three but AP had there number.
ICA came into UIC with big things predicted for this team. They came up against a very tough TC team but were able to JUST squeeze past them, thanks to Nish, Shan and Conor B. Saf also played vs his old team but was unable to make it 4-1. TC will take great comfort that they are matching up to the 'big dogs'.
BP wiped the floor with a SS team that included Steven, Jon and Jay. Unreal but credit to BP they played a good game and deserved to win the match 5-0.
The other match was a failing SP side lose to LPL who again look strong this season with Ant and the Asshole to name just two. They will be right up the come the end of the season.
In the Emerald Division it all went wrong for Freedom last week losing to Money In The Bank 3-2. They will really wanna put that behind them this week as they play DS, more on that later. MIB look like they might cause a few problems to teams this season.
SPS suffered due to players who were down not showing up so I had to go with players at last minute and it showed as they didnt know where they were playing how to set up cam or nothing but 5 players showed and DS took the victory and well deserved it was too.
GR got spanked by my favorites to win the group UO and they looked good. Bud stood out for me and will really need stopping this season.
Ok on to the predictions
Straight Shots vs Play2Perfection
This is going to be a interesting match up because have P2P got the games in the be able to qualify to play this week, because its a very new league. SS need to bounce back from there defeat from last week and if they show with the likes of Jon, Jamie and Tonz then they should be able to do this. If P2P are eligable then it will be tough.
Score: 3-2 SS
Sexy Poolerz vs ICA
SP are not the team they used to be for some reason. They are having a shocking season in MLP and IPA they barely made the playoffs. ICA on the other hand are doing very well and with Nigel running the IL now they will be up there at the end of the season. I expect WPC MVP Nish to have a great season and as for SP just look towards the likes of Ketan and Shaggyman to make the challenge.
Having said that I will go for the shock of the week and give this to the underdog
Score: 3-2 SP
Pool Fiction vs Brit Pool
PFN are going to have to bounce back after there shock defeat last week but they are coming into a match with a team who shocked SS. Brit Pool beat SS 5-0 last week and they will fancy there chances against PFN who will need to bounce back with a victory if they want to keep up with the likes of ICA and LPL this season. I think BP have good players now in Pommy and Tim is coming into form so I will go for a tight victory this week.
Score: 3-2 PFN
True Champs vs LPL
LPL are one of the teams to beat this season. Ant has a great lineup and against a team in TC he will have to show with his strongest team because TC are giving as good as they get at the start of this season. They just lost to ICA last week but took satisfaction in Safdar losing against him old team. This should be close but the form book will rule.
Score: 4-1 LPL
ED
Ultimate Outlaws vs Simply Pool Souls
This match is a tough one to call as both teams are looking and can make the playoffs this season. There is history between Me and UO and with ex SPS admin TJ apparently at UO now there is spice added to this match and I expect drama but lets hope there is no drama tonight and me being biased I have a team showing this week which i prefer to call my strongest team and that is why i will go for the score i am.
SPS win 4-1
MIB vs Georgia Rebels
This match is going to be tough and I know little about GR but they are always there competing. MIB have good player who are still largely unknown.
Score: 3-2 MIB
Match of the Week
Freedom vs Dead Strokes
This is the Match of the week by a long way. FR are very good and DS are the better team! They are the ones that can take FR down again this week and with the players DS have they look great.
Score: 3-2 DS
GL all

Sorry!
Welcome to UIC Predictions and I am first of all sorry for not posting lately butI have had a awful lot on my mind.
Last week was very interesting with Big wins for LPL (5-0 vs MP) and XP (4-1 vs BP) TC beat a EC team who really don't deserve to be in interleagues, with the amount of no shows they have. X8B and CM got narrow 3-2 wins over FR and SP respectively.
The ED is still close but atleast its sorted out. No more byes and wins last week for MIB (3-2 over SS), UO (3-2 over CS) and GR (3-2 over TCC) This week UO and SS both get the week off so leaving 2 matches which I will do first.
MIB vs TCC
MIB got there win over SS last week and Rich has this league active and pumping out the tourneys and in return the players are starting to show for him week in and week out. This league is going places in my view and with TCC on a bit of a downer after last week, it looks pretty good for MIB who if they win or if TCC win to be fair will move into a playoff spot as GR and CS play each other. MIB might be behind on games won but there the stronger team.
Score: 3-2 MIB
GR vs CS
Well CS were deemed the second best team in the Division, but although I hate them UO are proving to be the best with SS second (both have a week off) GR are plugging away and might fancy there chances here as they are slowly working hard and coming up with the goods. CS need to re-focus and get there season back on track and I think they will come out on top of this close encounter today.
Score: 3-2 CS
Diamond Division
Extreme Cues vs Magic Pool
Score: 6-0 MP
XP vs X8B
This will be a good close match that XP Capt Cubby(just joking KErry) I mean Kerry will wanna win, because a win of 4-1 or 5-0 would take them second where as a 3-2 would bring them level with X8B. James the X8B captain will wanna make sure LPL are not allowed to get away, and for this reason will really try to bring there best players. I dont think XP will get second spot here they will win though.
Score: 3-2 XP (Purely on the Fact Ben aint X8B Capt) :P
LPL vs CM
Shock Special
Time to annoy Ant and say CM can win this! They came through a tough battle against SP last week and LPL have had it relatively easy. Ant is a very good Captain and has good players to choose from but CM are just starting to pick it up again and if the time is there for LPL to lose it will be this week so I will stick my neck on the line and say
Score: 3-2 CM :O
TC vs BP
TC were big winners last week and this week they come up against a faultering BP team who need to really step it up a gear, like TC has to be fair. Activity is there again and if TC can find last weeks form there will only be one winner unless BP find something from somewhere that they have lost for a while.
Score: TC 4-1
FR vs SP
My old team against the team I moved to but havent played for yet. FR and SP in UIC are very close. Last week SP lost a Epic encounter against a CM team who had just too much but then I blame the Captain Snooky :P FR also lost but they are in the better shape and should just about pull this off.
Score: 3-2 FR
Thanks for reading and atleast there up!

UIC Preds, Dont like it Dont Read
Hi all I wasn't going to do UIC preds but here they are as some people think im biased, which I am not let me clear a few things up. First of all I have no fucking idea who Timm is but I am guessing its the GIT Prediction guy, who I have no idea of, lol
And SS were the best team int he division, TCC beat them and wtg for that.
Predictions:
Brit Pool vs Magic Pool
BP just squeezed past MIB in IPA today where as MP beat XP so what ever I predict will be wrong but to make sure im not being 'BIASED' MP have a good squad of players aswell BP. If both show up with enough firepower then it will be close.
Score: 3-2 BP
Sexy Poolerz vs True Champs
SP and TC are two under achieving teams and if both show up and perform it should be close again and so I aint 'BIASED' I wont go into much more detail.
Score: 3-2 SP
Freedom vs Cue Masters
This will be close but so I am not 'BIASED' I wont go into much more detail :D
Score: 3-2 CM
Extreme Cues vs Xtreme Poolerz
EC wont show but so I aint 'BIASED' Iw ill say they will show and it will be a close match.
Score: 3-2 XP(however EC wont show because they are retards) 5-0 XP
LPL vs X8B
This match will again be close. But so I am not called 'BIASED' I will say nothing more until my point is proven.
Score: 3-2 to someone
This is me saying if you are going to complain that these prediction are 'BIASED' then screw whoever wants to because I dont give a damn. My preds will be back next week with some shocking revelations have fun

Week 6 of UIC
So welcome to week 6 after the week that never was really for week 5 as The match of the week in the Emerald Division saw SS defeat CS 4-1 but it was closer than that and all intense and purposes Kev should have lost to Amanda, In my view they left out there strongest player in Bri_tard and with the addition of Trent playing for CS now they will be looking for revenge as the interview which will go up after my DD recap will show.
Straight Shots if the finish above 70% this season wont be the same as when Cue Masters did it because CM had almost a full ED league with X8B and MP and BP in there for company.
The Diamond Division last week saw Freedom beat Brit Pool 5-0, TC beat CM in a shocker 4-1. LPL beat MP 5-0 and XP won 3-2 vs SP.
The Interview
with Dave Captain of Cyber Sharks
Jason: Welcome to this weeks 'Under The Spotlight' with Dave (highway_bong66) from this season's surprise package Cybersharks. First of all thank you for agreeing to participate in this interview, I want to start by asking oyu what your overall thoughts are of UIC and tell me how Cyber Sharks became interested in UIC when there are so many other interleagues out there? Why UIC?
Dave: Well so far so good as far as UIC goes, I think the competion is great..Im pretty much of a quiet guy , so i do a lot of observing as opposed to all the yappin i see in the lobby, still pretty early in the season, so i have no complaints, im really pleasently surprised on how well were doing.. As far as choosing UIC, over the other interlgs out their, was just by past experience.. Many moons ago i was co-capt aka capt of X8b, so i was familar with the way they do things, i also think UIC is pretty organized, and was always a fan of their tourney page
Jason: That is very good to hear! You have a good set of players and you are pretty unknown in the interleague world as a league. I have the pleasure of being in this league. What can you tell the other teams about your league you represent. Who are the players to watch in Cyber Sharks and do you think if you finish in the top 4 this season and maybe even win it, could you keep pace with the big boys in the Diamond Division?
Dave: Well as we all know , anyone can beat anyone anytime anywhere, if the balls just fall right.. i do know for sure theirs not a cocky person in the whole lg, thats a big reason why im still in this lg.Arrogance and attitude, are two big turnoffs for me.As far as naming players to watch out for, i won't pinpoint anyone in particular, cause i don't wanna offend anyone that i don't name, just be sure that come sat, i will roll in that room with 5 people that will give anyone a run for their money, and lastly if we do win it and advance to diamond division , then i guess they better watch out to..lol
Jason: Again a very good answer, you lost pretty heavily to Straight Shots last time out. How do you think it will go for the rest of the season? Are you looking forward to some revenge maybe when you meet Straight Shots again?
Dave: yeah we got spanked by ss, ill be the first to admit that, buts its not like their 5 players ran the tables on us, they just happened to knock the 8 in before us, and u better believe i look forward to some revenge, hopefully next time, will be the winners, they were good matches, and i think their capt is a really nice guy, Nigel i think his name is..as far as the other competion, theirs a few teams we haven't played yet, so its a wait and see scenerio, and for the teams we have played already, they were all good games
Jason: Ok again thanks for the answer, this is the point in the interview i ask the same question. Pick a guy or girl to watch? I would throw a few at you like Bri and Tony(lilhomie) or someone else of your choice. Also tell us a name no one would expect to have a good season and why. Basically who are your clutch players that you can always rely on to win under extreme pressure. Every team has them, but who are yours?
Dave: i think Dave {hustlin_outlaw} and Jim{cia.duck}, are two good players to very much watch out for of the clutch players, tony of course is definitly a bonus to us and Jim{personel _turmoil}, although hes been away lately, but expect to see him soon, but as i said earlier, all my players that have joined, can beat anyone on any given day.
Jason: ok i got 2 more questions then thats it. Where will Cybersharks finish and out of both divisions what team have you been impressed with and why?
Dave: i think we have a very good chance of making the playoffs ,at the beginning of the season, i would have said no way in hell, bvut with the games that we have played and the players that have joined and expressed interest, i think we got a very good shot at playoffs.. the team that im impressed with is X8b, mainly because ive got history with the lg, and i know a few of the players, they jumped into the diamond division, and it looks like they haven't taken any prisoners, pretty impressive
Jason: Well Dave its been a pleasure interviewing you I wanna wish you the best of luck but leave you with my signiture question... What is your favourite cheese and how do you like it and why?
Dave: oh by all means its smoked gouda and i like it stuffed in a chicken breast, topped with a brandy peppercorn sauce
Jason: Sounds very nice thanks for being such a good sport and gl this season.
Cue Masters vs Xtreme 8 Ball
So CM with a big loss last week come up against the surprise favourites X8B. James the 2nd best captain in X8B has a well oiled well drilled team in X8B and will always bring his A team to the table as X8B go hell for Leather with LPL for the titleas each team are 2 wins ahead of Cue Masters and Xtreme Poolerz. CM will be looking to bounce back from this latest set back last week by hoping they can destroy X8B. This however is nto going to be possable.
Score: 4-1 X8B
Brit Pool vs Xtreme Poolerz
These are two of the three teams that could catch LPL and X8B. XP are always around about the playoffs(going by the PFN seasons too) and there Captain KERRY(got that in kerry) has a good squad of players to choose from. Brit Pool look liek there on there way back to form. They beat MP in WPC but then drew with SPS. In IPA they got a 3-3 draw with LS today theres always a chance they could sneak a win out but XP are in sparkling form and I cant see past them.
Score: 3-2 XP
Sexy Poolerz vs Latino Pool Legends
SP are going to show up and win big one of these days, this is the day in my view, i have no idea why or how because I am picking them to beat undefeated LPL and Ant sure as hell wont like me for that lol. If SP show with there usual WPC players, when availiable on a saturday then they will really have a go at LPL and I dont think LPL will be ready this week. As Usual I await Ant with the LPL winning scoreline.
Score: 4-1 SP :O
Magic Pool vs True Champs
So plain and simple if TC pull off yet another hoodini act and beat MP they will go into a share of 4th place, not bad for a league who never was in it at the start. MP onthe other hand are going along just nicely under captain Chris and will no doubt wanna take TC to the cleaners, and if they do MP will be right up there with the likes of XP and CM. If both 'A' teams show and the fact this is off cam will mean TC will give a good account of themselves.
Score: MP 3-2
Freedom vs Extreme Cues
Freedom on the back of a fine win last week play EC this week who very rarely show with good players. Thats it lol
Score: 4-1 FR
ED one match SS vs TCC
This is a mismatch I have issues with some things but I will keep them to myself as SS stroll to the Title that if they dont win can only go to one other Team CS!
Score: 4-1 SS
Straight Shots if the finish above 70% this season wont be the same as when Cue Masters did it because CM had almost a full ED league with X8B and MP and BP in there for company.
The Diamond Division last week saw Freedom beat Brit Pool 5-0, TC beat CM in a shocker 4-1. LPL beat MP 5-0 and XP won 3-2 vs SP.

Week 5 of UIC
Hello and Welcome to Week 5 of UIC and where yet another team has dropped out of UIC and I cant work out who lol, nut this leaves the way open for CS and SS(this weeks match of the week) to fight it out for number 1 spot.
I wanna talk about leagues that rarely box today. The well behaved leagues, theres 2 in the DD and 2 in the ED in my opinion. XP and SP are the leagues in the DD that are the best because the Head Admins. Indiana Elite and Anne from SP are prolly two of the best Head Admins. They are pleasant Head Admins who always let everyone play and have fun but are not scared to kick or get rid of players if they step out of line. The same is said for the two in Emerald Division Straight Shots and Cyber Sharks are the two Head Admins who are like Indy and Anne from XP and SP respectively. IF there are members who misbehave in either league they get boxed sure but they are very relaxed, however they don't take bull shit and people who flaunt the rules. These 4 leagues for me apitimizes Yahoo Pool.
So lets get to the predictions.
Sexy Poolerz vs Xtreme Poolerz
So here we are again with XP team trying to catch unbeaten X8B and LPL in the Diamond Division taking on a league who you never who will show to play in UIC. SP who lost 4-1 last week against Brit Pool and XP slaughtered FR 4-1 so this looks a good match and with the liklihood of Simon playing and Pommy playing the odds of a Simon vs Pommy rematch looks on the cards as XP look to narrow the gap waiting for LPL and X8B to slip up. If the key men for XP (indy, Andy and Jamie(whos back now) along with Lewis) show and the SPers of Ste, Ketan, Simon and Pete show then this will be close. One thing for sure XP Captain Kerry will want that prediction to be wrong
Score: 3-2 SP :O
Magic Pool vs Latino Pool Legends
Again this is interesting as MP are picking it up but LPL are in such good form. MP just played BP in the IPA and they use the same sort of players, with Missy and Steve playing so well I think LPL will have to be with Ant, Opti and Tino this week to stand any chance what so ever of beating the team that could really cause problems to the others. If LPL show in form then they will beat MP, but this MP team have a momentum going at the moment, take out the X8B result and they are undefeated(X8B were just inspired last week.) This will come down to a Game 5 with Ant pulling it out.
Score: 3-2 LPL
Xtreme 8 Ball vs Extreme Cues
From one Xtreme to another :)), like what I did there? ah forget it :P. So its the Undefeated against the are we bothered to show ups! Xtreme 8 Ball won last seasons Emerald Division and the team that nicked the Conference off them were CM, but where are they compared to X8B? ONE win behind so X8B and CM and MP are all from the ED last season, infact the 4 that came up if you add BP too are in the top 5! This will be a easy match to predict asd Ben and James have some wonderful players in the motor mouth Adam, Conor and Eric. 99% of X8B players are difficult to handle and kudos to James and Ben for handling there players the way they do. This match? if EC show or not its a blow out
P.S. James dont let my compliments go to your head! Its a one off. Ben? Your the best X8B captain dont let James tell you otherwise :)
Score: 4-1 X8B
Brit Pool vs Freedom
So again I come up against a team I am a Captain for in another Interleague. Brit Pool under Jan is brilliant, Coop, James, Trey and Co are putting together a mini run here as BP in rank 5 and looking for that all important Playoff spot and you look whos behind them? Extablished teams like XP, FR and SP. Freedom's start to the season has been utter bull shit lol. Either Luck or something from the heavens dont like Freedom and they are always looking towards losing tillt he CC and thats where the Heavens say yeah you can win this! The team they have of Natty, JAson, Petey and Ash should atleast be competitive maybe this week? But I dont think so.
Score: 4-1 BP
Cue Masters vs True Champs
So Cue Masters are lying 3rd behind X8B and LPL but there just 1 win off the top spot at the moment and this season they have been awesome. There defeat came to MP in week one and since then from week 2 to week 4 they have gone 11-4 including a very hard faught win against Xtreme Poolerz. They have Ashton and Roy now too and will most definately look to defeat the True Champs who dont have much now although they are on there way back weather you wanna beleive what I said in IPA or not(if you wanna know read the IPA predictions.) CM have too much in UIC for TC, If it was in IPA (which CM ar eno longer in) then it would have been a different story...
Score: 4-1 CM
The Emerald Divison
MIB, GR and BR get byes and Heather IS complaining about the byes because all she wants to do is play...I wish there was a few more like her around! Instead people like the byes which is utter BS.
Ultimate Outlaws vs The Cue Controls
So my favourite team play TCC and although I hate them with a passion they should have enough to see of the threat of TCC this week. If they get there own way and win then who knows what they could do they could even start talking to me without saying 'go to hell jason' Just to state the rules state five league games by 6pm.
Score: 3-2 UO
MATCH OF THE WEEK EASILY
Straight Shots vs Cyber Sharks
At the beginning of the season I would have said this was a david vs Golieth match up and SS would have won 5-0. Now however this looks a mouth watering clash. If Nigel shows with the team he wants of Kevin(gameover), Nigel, Jon and KEith then The SS capt Nigel will really fancy his chances against a CS team that have some serious players in. Bri_tard is one of the Key players but its whether she can show up. LIL homie is a cracking little player too who will be up there for MVP if he plays his best each week. The Captain Dave(who is the interview next week, so you will get a insight into the Sharkies) is a very talented Captain who knwos his best team and how to play the people. In Nigel and Dave this is the biggest test this season, if CS win then I think there will be a lot of peopel turn there heads and then ask Who exactly are Cyber Sharks(that you will find out next week.) If SS win then CS will look for revenge later on this season as these will fight VERY CLOSELY for the UIC ED Title and they are miles better than the rest!
Score: This is tough and for the first time ever I will not give a score! Its that close in my opinion.
sorry there late but there decent Enjoy all
Thanks Jason
I wanna talk about leagues that rarely box today. The well behaved leagues, theres 2 in the DD and 2 in the ED in my opinion. XP and SP are the leagues in the DD that are the best because the Head Admins. Indiana Elite and Anne from SP are prolly two of the best Head Admins. They are pleasant Head Admins who always let everyone play and have fun but are not scared to kick or get rid of players if they step out of line. The same is said for the two in Emerald Division Straight Shots and Cyber Sharks are the two Head Admins who are like Indy and Anne from XP and SP respectively. IF there are members who misbehave in either league they get boxed sure but they are very relaxed, however they don't take bull shit and people who flaunt the rules. These 4 leagues for me apitimizes Yahoo Pool.
So lets get to the predictions.
Sexy Poolerz vs Xtreme Poolerz
So here we are again with XP team trying to catch unbeaten X8B and LPL in the Diamond Division taking on a league who you never who will show to play in UIC. SP who lost 4-1 last week against Brit Pool and XP slaughtered FR 4-1 so this looks a good match and with the liklihood of Simon playing and Pommy playing the odds of a Simon vs Pommy rematch looks on the cards as XP look to narrow the gap waiting for LPL and X8B to slip up. If the key men for XP (indy, Andy and Jamie(whos back now) along with Lewis) show and the SPers of Ste, Ketan, Simon and Pete show then this will be close. One thing for sure XP Captain Kerry will want that prediction to be wrong
Score: 3-2 SP :O
Magic Pool vs Latino Pool Legends
Again this is interesting as MP are picking it up but LPL are in such good form. MP just played BP in the IPA and they use the same sort of players, with Missy and Steve playing so well I think LPL will have to be with Ant, Opti and Tino this week to stand any chance what so ever of beating the team that could really cause problems to the others. If LPL show in form then they will beat MP, but this MP team have a momentum going at the moment, take out the X8B result and they are undefeated(X8B were just inspired last week.) This will come down to a Game 5 with Ant pulling it out.
Score: 3-2 LPL
Xtreme 8 Ball vs Extreme Cues
From one Xtreme to another :)), like what I did there? ah forget it :P. So its the Undefeated against the are we bothered to show ups! Xtreme 8 Ball won last seasons Emerald Division and the team that nicked the Conference off them were CM, but where are they compared to X8B?

I do these for fun, dont like them? DONT FUCKING READ THEM :D
Sorry for the explicit title and welcome week 3 of UIC and this will be a beast as i have sooooo much to get off my chest.
Lets start with UIC swiss and the winner of the 2pm one was a total nub, who was it you might ask? Oh yeah me lol. I wanna talk about the general behaviour of leagues today.
Firstly lets look at the two leagues i actually have the most respect for in UIC. Straight Shots and Cyber Sharks in the ED and Sexy Poolerz and Xtreme Poolerz in the DD. First Cyber Sharks, they are the most well behaved league out there in my view. There whole ethos is play for fun dont care if you win or lose and just concentrate on the fun side. This ethos must be looked at by other leagues who like ot post go to hell because they could follow rules, or bitch because a cam tape was not accepted because of something being wrong with it.
Straight Shots for me have proved there worth this season, after Mike was kicked for a Aimer being on his computer and the actions Shelle, Laura and Nigel took must be highly commended. The other thing that impresses me about SS is they can take someone like Kevin and he has been a ok player as far as attitude goes this season.
Sexy Poolerz arejust proffessional(as far as you can get in UIC lol). They are the team I think all people would like to be in because they represent fair play to me and if I had a choice and was good enough its the team I would choose.
Xtreme Poolerz are formally Pool Fiction but they have players from XP too and these are another great sportsmanship team who will always have good players but the players are not just good but there veyr sporting too. Jamie, Andy and Lewis stand out a mile away. The 4 teams I have spoke about being good sports there always are teams that aint and these are few and far between now days but they include Ultimate Outlaws from the ED and you knwo what they NEVER used to be like that. They are like the BNR team of now. When you play UO all you get is shit talking to the highest value.
So this week is a crappy week really lets start with the ED
Bye vs CS
Cyber Sharks get there 2nd bye since the start of the season, however they haqve shownmore than enough to suggest that they will be in the top 2 at the end of the season enjoy the week off.
BR vs Bye
Bruizers needed this bye after there heavy defeat to SS last week. But again they could be up there if they can hold on to Heather and pick it up themselves time will tell again enjoy your week off.
Straight Shots vs Ultimate Outlaws
So if UO lose will they quit because things dont go there own way? We will see lol. SS are on top form in a division that nigel should win in his sleep as, as I said last week this is the weakest ever Emerald Division. Straight Shots might have lost Craig too as he asked meto change in WPC yesterday. If Nigel keeps his head against motor mouths reb and mrs rebs then its a easy win but hey! UO have a few good players but not enough for this one.
Score - 4-1 SS
GR vs MIB
GR have really pulled it together this season and have a awesome squad of shooters that should be able to extract all of the money out the bank and leave MIB bankrupt. If Rich shows with 5 then they have a chance, if not then this has a GR win all over it anyway. LEts see how things fair.
Score - 4-1 GR
RM vs TCC
Ok TCC are a team that show up and are good shooters. Why the hell UIC admins have allowed RM there BYE win from last week when no one has shown all season is beyond a joke.
Score - TCC 5-0 RM bette rbe booted or I think a lot of people will be pissed.
DD
TC vs FR
So both teams are 0-3 and both are under acheiving but for different reasons. FR are under acheiving because a few players are a little bit under form and players like myself and Ash need to up our game. This week for TC will be a test as this will be a winnable match but I think FR have enough to see it through.
Score - 3-2 FR
CM vs EC
This is a no contest as CM in UIC are one of the strongest teams out there with X8B and XP. EC will need all there fire power and more this week as they try to defeat one of the favourites to wint he whole thing. It will be interesting.
Score - 4-1 CM
BP vs SP
Yes this is a big match as SP need to get back to winning ways as BP are starting to go through a mini slump and I knwo they have so many players but keeping them players happy is more difficult than not having enough players. If the right BP show up today then SP should lose but if it was cammed I think SP would win only because theres something that clicks with SP and Cam!
Score - 3-2 BP
X8B vs MP
Im gonna upset James this week and say that the shock of the week is right here int his match as both teams have started well and MP have good players and a good captain. X8B have had a great start but w all lose at some point and this is the point I think where X8B suffer defeat number 1.
Score - 3-2 MP
LPL vs XP
The match that i will be at no doubt about it as Cubby comes up against old friends in LPL. LPL ofcourse changed since Ant took over and they have become a super power in my view taking out every one other than SP in WPC and in UIC they will always make the playoffs. Cubby and crew though are a team in UIC that could beat LPL and this will depend if he can bring his top 5
Score - 4-1 XP :O

UIC Preds and make up time for last 2 weeks of shitty preds
Welcome to Week 3 of UIC and after last weeks shitty preds I thouyght I would make up for it.
I want to send my condolences to the family of BNR_redhot2003 AKA prof. He was well respected in all interleagues and helped with the designing of MLP and will sorely be missed by everyone that new him.
Last week didnt go to plan for me last week and my team Freedom were 3-0 down before clawing it back to make it look atleast respectable at a 3-2 loss. EC made the debut against a SP that in UIC you never know what SP team will show. They were good last week as was EC ina 3-2 win for SP. I aint sure if TC showed last week but LPL would have won 5-0 anyway. They did! The shock of the week came as CM beat XP 3-2, this was also compounded that maybe XP are having a PFN style mini slump as they only drew 3-3 with UO in WPC. I think you would call it facical though. The other match was X8B beating a strong BP team 3-2.
The ED has become funny already this season. Ultimate Outlaws got there own way this time with a 5-0 win over a no showing Pool Outlaws team. Now I have nothing against UO but some of there people need to grow up. The result of the week was Cyber Sharks(who Mr. Predictor was in WPC for a season) knocked off Money in The Bank 4-1. This is a good result for CS who could well make a play for the play-offs and be the best ED team int here debut season. Watch this space. EPC won vs RM by timer then pulled out which is a shock to me but Jack and his team hadn't made the best of starts so he pulled them, something tells me theres a little bit more to it than just too many IL's. Bruizers was convincingly beaten by TCC 5-0 and they had a full team i hear so it was just impressive from TCC who are along with CS have every chance to get to the playoffs. The strongest team in UIC ED is SS and beat GR 4-1 last week. They should walk this ED.
So thats the recap and I thought to myself what can I do a piece on this week. I looked at last season's ED compared to this seasons. If you look at it last season the Playoffs looked like MP, X8B, CM and KBP(but essentially BP) with 8BC JUST missing out. Now there 5 very good teams(although after that 8BC merged with BP). MP, CM and X8B all have held there own in the DD this season. Now you look at it this season now EPC and PO have dropped out(EPC were on paper the second best in my view). Obviously you have Straight Shots under Nigel and Marie. They are by far and away the best team on paper in the UIC. Even taking out SiccMike because of what he was caught with you still have the likes of Craig, Nigel himself, Kev(xl_gameover_xl, complete nutcase and douche bag) but credit where credits due he is a very good player, Jon and the likes of WPC MVP chris. All these players are way better than ED in my view. So who is the second best team? This will come as a shock to you but I honestly think its the team joint top with SS at the moment, that is Cyber Sharks, now people will still be asking who the hell are these? They are a very good solid team who will most definatly take some beating and will be in the DD next season for sure. The rest you can throw a banket(or Blanky as all you Americans call it). LAst season it was Top heavy this season Its just Dull in my opinion. Only SS will be able to put up any fight against the main teams in the DD next season.
So with my ED piece done time for the Preds.
Brit Pool vs Cue Masters
So Brit Pool and there big roster of players for Jan to pick from is either a luxury or a hinderence(in IPA its a hinderence for me really). Jan however has some awesome captaining skills and witht he teams she can bring every week, the conquerers of XP must be on there guard as BP will be looking ot bounce back from there defeat last week to Xtreme 8 Ball ( who were the conquerers of CM in the ED playoffs last season). The thing about CM and UIC is they can bring there big hitting 5 every time and these will always include Luke, Craig and Chele. This promises to be a barnstormer of a match up as CM and BP will want to make inroads on the play off spot not many people think they can get but both teams are proving that last season's ED teams are the ones to watch this time.
Score - CM edge it 3-2 but BP could easily win, CM win tho for me.
True Champs vs Xtreme 8 Ball
So I will blog on this as TC will show with a team, but not a very good team. X8B however are the team to watch this season, as Ben and James(who argue over who is the best all the time :P). They are currently top and will still take all the beating this season. This proves my point from my earlier comments about the ED this season. If TC show up then I would say Mike grabs there only win.
Score - X8B win 4-1 maybe 5-0 from a TC no show.
Freedom vs Xtreme Poolerz
What are roguh start for Freedom this season(not helped by me throwing away every match I play). Petey finally got 5 to the table last week and really made the score look respectable as FR endure a very poor start, but why is this? Lack of players? Players not good enough? or just plain bad luck? Well for one take out the Players not good enough because Petey, Tonz, Ash and Myself are most definately good enough on our day. They play a team in XP who last week suffered a shock defeat to CM 3-2. Xtreme Poolerz don't do losing 2 weeks in a row but they could well lose here as FR are going to come alive at some point in time this season. Petey will get 5 to the table this week I am sure. The question is will XP's poor form continue?
Score - Shock 3-2 to FR
Extreme Cues vs Latino Pool Legends
This could be a intertesting match or a BLOW OUT. Ant is always bitching at me saying 'you gone against LPL again' maybe I do! I love a under dog but this week I will let my head talk and say if EC have any chance then its no chance! Paul is a great guy and a great Capt and Mr. P bigs EC up because its Paul as Captain. Can he rally his troops to take on the likes of WPC Expo winner from last night Jesus, Ant and Tino? I dont think so but then I aint saying that LPL will have it easy they will have to fight but I think the score will look more convincing than the actual match itself.
Score - 4-1 LPL
Magic Pool vs Sexy Poolerz
So the right SP showed up last week as the swept aside the challenge of Extreme Cues. This week is a bit more tricky because in MP they are 2-0 and looking good under the new captain Chris. Steve and Missy are big pick ups and only add to the fire power of the likes of Ian and Tom. With Jane being back you have Miss reliable and she will always be there for Chris. The thing is SP is they cant string a set of results together really in UIC. If the likes of Jim(sir.bangsalot) and he bangs a lot!, Ketan and Ste show up week in, week out then they have a shot this week however? This wont be a going week.
Score: In a twist of events MP come from 0-2 down to win 3-2
Emerald Divsion
Straight Shots vs Bruizers
So after everything I said way up there about the ED. It throws up this match and no doubt will be getting teams other than SS and CS(as they are the only ones that I pointed out) thinking hey he cant say that! So BR prove me wrong! I now also see that my Fiance Heather has moved across to BR from what was HT(shows how much pool shes played lately) Straight Shots must seriously go unbeaten this season to prove they were the best. I read what Mr. P said and I fully agree, I will also say this! Shelle gave SP the IL win in WPC before I had chance to DQ Sicc_Mike. The other thing is the speed in which he was A: Reported to HA Laura and B: Booted from the SS league and C: the speed in which shelle had me turn over the win(even though it would have happened anyway was in my view commandable and the right thing to do and I would like to thank SS for being so understanding. This match will be a blow out!
Score: 4-1 SS
Bye vs GR
WTG GR
Score: 5-0 Yay one right this week
Score: 5-0 UO and a Feature on UO in IPA blog later
Cyber Sharks vs The Cue Controls
So the 2nd and 3rd best teams in ED battle it out but I do beleive theres a gulf in class here as much as SS are way better than the rest, CS are way better than the rest except SS! But this is Yahoo Pool and anything can really happen. CS will need to be professional and treat TCC as they would any team. The thing with both of these are they are raw talents and both teams I think with a little bit of work could handle the pressures of the big teams int he DD. For TCC to wint his they need a full team with a little bit of luck that they are going to have tomake themselves and Dave (highway_bong) has been around too long in IL's for CS to throw anything away. Watch out for Lilhomie for CS.
Score: 4-1 CS
PO vs RM
Rank Monster still being in UIC is a joke as far as I can see. They hardly ever show up and they even hate cases. I do not like they get a bye wint ihs week when for the first two weeks they have done fuck all(sorry for the language) Why give byes to a team that dont try I say get rid of them :)
Score: unfortunatly my appeal will fall on deaf ears and RM will win 5-0 even though its like they dont give a flying fuck!
Money In The Bank vs Ultimate Outlaws
So UO, who got there Interleague break in WPC have now left them because they couldn't read rules about league changes. MIB have left WPC because they dont have enough players for a midweek interleague which is fair enough. This week will depend who shows with most and as I currently have no respect for a few in UO I won't let it effect my judgement of UO. The match will depend if Jordy hangs around for UO now.
Score: 3-2 UO
Theres the improved blog this week ty for reading.
I want to send my condolences to the family of BNR_redhot2003 AKA prof. He was well respected in all interleagues and helped with the designing of MLP and will sorely be missed by everyone that new him.

The ED has become funny already this season. Ultimate Outlaws got there own way this time with a 5-0 win over a no showing Pool Outlaws team. Now I have nothing against UO but some of there people need to grow up. The result of the week was Cyber Sharks(who Mr. Predictor was in WPC for a season) knocked off Money in The Bank 4-1. This is a good result for CS who could well make a play for the play-offs and be the best ED team int here debut season. Watch this space. EPC won vs RM by timer then pulled out which is a shock to me but Jack and his team hadn't made the best of starts so he pulled them, something tells me theres a little bit more to it than just too many IL's. Bruizers was convincingly beaten by TCC 5-0 and they had a full team i hear so it was just impressive from TCC who are along with CS have every chance to get to the playoffs. The strongest team in UIC ED is SS and beat GR 4-1 last week. They should walk this ED.
So thats the recap and I thought to myself what can I do a piece on this week. I looked at last season's ED compared to this seasons. If you look at it last season the Playoffs looked like MP, X8B, CM and KBP(but essentially BP) with 8BC JUST missing out. Now there 5 very good teams(although after that 8BC merged with BP). MP, CM and X8B all have held there own in the DD this season. Now you look at it this season now EPC and PO have dropped out(EPC were on paper the second best in my view). Obviously you have Straight Shots under Nigel and Marie. They are by far and away the best team on paper in the UIC. Even taking out SiccMike because of what he was caught with you still have the likes of Craig, Nigel himself, Kev(xl_gameover_xl, complete nutcase and douche bag) but credit where credits due he is a very good player, Jon and the likes of WPC MVP chris. All these players are way better than ED in my view. So who is the second best team? This will come as a shock to you but I honestly think its the team joint top with SS at the moment, that is Cyber Sharks, now people will still be asking who the hell are these? They are a very good solid team who will most definatly take some beating and will be in the DD next season for sure. The rest you can throw a banket(or Blanky as all you Americans call it). LAst season it was Top heavy this season Its just Dull in my opinion. Only SS will be able to put up any fight against the main teams in the DD next season.
So with my ED piece done time for the Preds.
Brit Pool vs Cue Masters
So Brit Pool and there big roster of players for Jan to pick from is either a luxury or a hinderence(in IPA its a hinderence for me really). Jan however has some awesome captaining skills and witht he teams she can bring every week, the conquerers of XP must be on there guard as BP will be looking ot bounce back from there defeat last week to Xtreme 8 Ball ( who were the conquerers of CM in the ED playoffs last season). The thing about CM and UIC is they can bring there big hitting 5 every time and these will always include Luke, Craig and Chele. This promises to be a barnstormer of a match up as CM and BP will want to make inroads on the play off spot not many people think they can get but both teams are proving that last season's ED teams are the ones to watch this time.
Score - CM edge it 3-2 but BP could easily win, CM win tho for me.
True Champs vs Xtreme 8 Ball
So I will blog on this as TC will show with a team, but not a very good team. X8B however are the team to watch this season, as Ben and James(who argue over who is the best all the time :P). They are currently top and will still take all the beating this season. This proves my point from my earlier comments about the ED this season. If TC show up then I would say Mike grabs there only win.
Score - X8B win 4-1 maybe 5-0 from a TC no show.
Freedom vs Xtreme Poolerz
What are roguh start for Freedom this season(not helped by me throwing away every match I play). Petey finally got 5 to the table last week and really made the score look respectable as FR endure a very poor start, but why is this? Lack of players? Players not good enough? or just plain bad luck? Well for one take out the Players not good enough because Petey, Tonz, Ash and Myself are most definately good enough on our day. They play a team in XP who last week suffered a shock defeat to CM 3-2. Xtreme Poolerz don't do losing 2 weeks in a row but they could well lose here as FR are going to come alive at some point in time this season. Petey will get 5 to the table this week I am sure. The question is will XP's poor form continue?
Score - Shock 3-2 to FR
Extreme Cues vs Latino Pool Legends
This could be a intertesting match or a BLOW OUT. Ant is always bitching at me saying 'you gone against LPL again' maybe I do! I love a under dog but this week I will let my head talk and say if EC have any chance then its no chance! Paul is a great guy and a great Capt and Mr. P bigs EC up because its Paul as Captain. Can he rally his troops to take on the likes of WPC Expo winner from last night Jesus, Ant and Tino? I dont think so but then I aint saying that LPL will have it easy they will have to fight but I think the score will look more convincing than the actual match itself.
Score - 4-1 LPL
Magic Pool vs Sexy Poolerz
So the right SP showed up last week as the swept aside the challenge of Extreme Cues. This week is a bit more tricky because in MP they are 2-0 and looking good under the new captain Chris. Steve and Missy are big pick ups and only add to the fire power of the likes of Ian and Tom. With Jane being back you have Miss reliable and she will always be there for Chris. The thing is SP is they cant string a set of results together really in UIC. If the likes of Jim(sir.bangsalot) and he bangs a lot!, Ketan and Ste show up week in, week out then they have a shot this week however? This wont be a going week.
Score: In a twist of events MP come from 0-2 down to win 3-2
Emerald Divsion
Straight Shots vs Bruizers
So after everything I said way up there about the ED. It throws up this match and no doubt will be getting teams other than SS and CS(as they are the only ones that I pointed out) thinking hey he cant say that! So BR prove me wrong! I now also see that my Fiance Heather has moved across to BR from what was HT(shows how much pool shes played lately) Straight Shots must seriously go unbeaten this season to prove they were the best. I read what Mr. P said and I fully agree, I will also say this! Shelle gave SP the IL win in WPC before I had chance to DQ Sicc_Mike. The other thing is the speed in which he was A: Reported to HA Laura and B: Booted from the SS league and C: the speed in which shelle had me turn over the win(even though it would have happened anyway was in my view commandable and the right thing to do and I would like to thank SS for being so understanding. This match will be a blow out!
Score: 4-1 SS
Bye vs GR
WTG GR
Score: 5-0 Yay one right this week
Score: 5-0 UO and a Feature on UO in IPA blog later
Cyber Sharks vs The Cue Controls
So the 2nd and 3rd best teams in ED battle it out but I do beleive theres a gulf in class here as much as SS are way better than the rest, CS are way better than the rest except SS! But this is Yahoo Pool and anything can really happen. CS will need to be professional and treat TCC as they would any team. The thing with both of these are they are raw talents and both teams I think with a little bit of work could handle the pressures of the big teams int he DD. For TCC to wint his they need a full team with a little bit of luck that they are going to have tomake themselves and Dave (highway_bong) has been around too long in IL's for CS to throw anything away. Watch out for Lilhomie for CS.
Score: 4-1 CS
PO vs RM
Rank Monster still being in UIC is a joke as far as I can see. They hardly ever show up and they even hate cases. I do not like they get a bye wint ihs week when for the first two weeks they have done fuck all(sorry for the language) Why give byes to a team that dont try I say get rid of them :)
Score: unfortunatly my appeal will fall on deaf ears and RM will win 5-0 even though its like they dont give a flying fuck!
Money In The Bank vs Ultimate Outlaws
So UO, who got there Interleague break in WPC have now left them because they couldn't read rules about league changes. MIB have left WPC because they dont have enough players for a midweek interleague which is fair enough. This week will depend who shows with most and as I currently have no respect for a few in UO I won't let it effect my judgement of UO. The match will depend if Jordy hangs around for UO now.
Score: 3-2 UO
Theres the improved blog this week ty for reading.
