As the National Senior League rolls into its final week of league play several conference titles remain up for grabs. The big battle will be in conference 34 where NSL power houses Morigi Team 1 and the Terminators go head to head with the winner grabbing the conference title. In conference 32 the winner of the matchup between the Happy Strikers and WiiTired will capture the trophy and in conference 28 CRV Team 1 must defeat a strong Sunrise Wii Bees team to win the title.
Just as important are third place matchups in several conferences as the top 3 teams advance to the playoffs determining the NSL National Champion. Not yet determined are 3rd place finishes in conferences 17, 18, 23, 25, 29, 31 and 33. A head to head match in conference 17, The Crawlers vs Cromwell 1, will determine the third position. Other teams hoping to secure a trip to the championship matches include Incredibles 1 and the Terminators in conference 18; Banks Bowlers, Westside Bowlers, Four Stooges and the Bellringers in conference 23; the Jolly Bowlers and Pins Gone in conference 25; the Slow Rollers and the Dynamite Metheunites in conference 29; Manor House 2, Gwynedd Pin Busters and the Bowling Stones in conference 31; and CRV 3 and the Blasters in conference 33.
The top 3 teams in each conference will be joined in the playoffs by 10 additional teams determined by teams with the highest pin count to form a 64 team playoff NCAA Final Four bracket and a one and done format.
For the first time since its inception NSL playoffs will include all the teams competing in the league. The NSL National Champion will come from one of the top 64 teams in the league. The remaining teams will be divided into 2 divisions - Master Division 1 and Master Division 2.
