As the ahm NPL Season 2 approaches its climactic final round, each conference’s top three teams are fiercely competing for a spot in the finals. Scheduled for November 21-23 at The Jar Pickleball Club in Melbourne, the finals will see nine teams — the best from Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland — battle for championship glory.
Victoria
The Victoria conference has been led by the Emeralds at 6-2, closely followed by the Jalapeños and Woods at 5-3. While these three currently hold the top spots, the final round could still bring surprises.
Crucial Games:
· Emeralds vs Mowers: A must-win for the Emeralds to stay on top. A victory here would likely ensure their finals spot, but a loss could jeopardize their position if the Jalapeños or Woods finish strong.
· Jalapeños vs Pythons and Woods vs Jalapeños: The Jalapeños have two critical games that will determine their path to the finals, with a chance to push into first place if they secure decisive wins.
New South Wales
The Turtles have dominated New South Wales, boasting an 8-0 record and almost certainly securing their finals berth. The Aliens and Grasshoppers remain locked in a tight race for the remaining two spots.
Crucial Games:
· Turtles vs Juices: The Turtles aim to maintain their perfect record, solidifying their position as conference leaders.
· Aliens vs Grasshoppers: This matchup could determine who clinches a top-three spot. With both teams fighting for finals contention, a win here is crucial for either team’s season.
Queensland
Queensland has seen a tight battle between the Caterpillars and Parrots, both at 7-1, with their upcoming game poised to crown the conference leader. The Cactuses, Dinosaurs, and Peacocks are also in the mix for the third finals spot.
Crucial Games:
· Caterpillars vs Parrots: This head-to-head showdown will decide the conference’s top seed and secure a finals berth for the victor.
· Cactuses vs Peacocks and Dinosaurs vs Iguanas: These mid-table games are vital for teams fighting for the last qualifying spot, with the potential to reshape the standings.
