In weeks one through 4 we have all cross group matches which should be fun to see how it plays out, it’s the 1st time IPA has gone this route and it follows in the same schedule format as pro, so kudos to Petey on his inspiration to fellow Canadian Drew and changing things up a bit now onto predictions.
Dead Strokes vs. Freedom
So this 1st match up pits my top predicted teams to their respective groups, meaning we are bound for one hell of a match up here. James will be looking to start off strong against the FR power house, but this will all depend on who makes it to the table in this match, with 3 of the likely players being Chele, Carl and James himself they have a good shot of picking up 3 wins with the home team advantage. FR lead as always by Petey always seem to surprise me and change things up, I predicted FR to top the red group because they can have one of the best teams possible when players like Matt and Trav show and are on their game a long with the other players Petey will bring they can be unstoppable but will they show here or consistently?
Lucky for me this is IPA and I can go with a 3-3 draw
Pool Dragonz vs. Straight Shots
DJ led Britpool to the season title last season here in IPA and will be looking to do it this season with PDZ. The additions made to the PDZ team this season with BP being out of it can only benefit PDZ as the key players they have picked up bring some much needed experience to the team. Nigel will look to make an impact in the season opener so I expect that he will try to bring his better players and he will need them as well if they want to start this season off strong, SS have been struggling recently and need to kick things into gear or PDZ will run rough shot in this one.
4-2 PDZ in what should be a fun match
Sexy Poolerz vs. Streak Breakerz
So this match pits who I’ve predicted at the bottom of each group against each other which only means one thing, this is good news for one team and really bad news for the other as it makes the season that much tougher, oh wait this is IPA so with the way SP have been struggling in recent weeks and SB being new on the scene.
Much like in the DS vs. FR match I’m lucky I can go with a 3-3 draw
Explicit Ballers vs. Big Dogs
Ok so with the late entry of BD replacing the last minute withdrawing of EPC knowing EB has a talented team in UIC Diamond Division and BD are at the bottom of the UIC Emerald Division.
6-0 EB... Prove me wrong BD
Good Luck all in the season opener, I hope you enjoy reading these predictions and I hope that as the season progresses I will get a little better and more entertaining with them as I see what the teams bring to the table. Remember these predictions are just for fun and should not be taken to heart and I always look forward to being proven wrong; most importantly remember to have fun

IPA makes it's return and so do I
Well I made a return for UIC so I guess I’m best off to make my return here as well considering I’ll have an easier go here than in UIC seeing as here I only have 4 matches to predict each week and only two teams I really know nothing about in Streak Breakerz and Explicit Ballers, so IPA has gone back to the blue and red group format meaning a 10 week season rather than a 14 week season, now onto my preseason rankings.
Blue Group
1st – Dead Strokes – Chele and James will be looking to show what DS is made of and in this group they are my favourites to win it, this will all depend on the players that show each week, knowing IPA is too early for the likes of Roy and Ashton may hinder their chances but I believe DS has enough depth that it shouldn’t much matter.
2nd – Pool Dragonz – PDZ led now by DJ and Drew will look to prove some dominance in this group and start putting PDZ on the map with some big wins, we have seen some key players from the old BritPool league follow over to PDZ with the merger between the two leagues and its one I can only assume will boost last season’s plate winners to some extra fame in the ypool world.
3rd – Explicit Ballers – While I don’t know what they will bring to the table they are one of the most active leagues currently in ypool, I know this doesn’t say much as we have seen other active leagues fall flat on their face when it comes to interleagues but EB does appear to have some talent in their core and only time will tell.
4th – Sexy Poolerz – Now you may ask why I would predict SP below EB when I don’t know very much about EB but with what I do know about SP and the struggle they have been having in interleagues as of late it doesn’t take a brain surgeon to know they are going to struggle even in this group if they don’t turn things around.
Red Group
1st – Freedom – The pressure is on you here Petey, granted Fr didn’t have the greatest regular season in IPA 5 you guys turned it around into a Cinderella story as you made playoffs and walked through everyone to take home the championship, I expect big things from Fr this season even in what some would say is a much tougher group than the blue.
2nd – Straight Shots – SS will be looking to start this season off with a jump rather than their usual slow start because a slow start here is going to make it awfully tough to stay in contention in this 10 week season of IPA 6, look for one of the best captains in the game in Nigel to kick this one off with a bang but struggle when it matters most.
3rd – Streak Breakerz – Putting SB here merely because I know nothing at all about them and this could prove to be a long 10 weeks depending on the players that they have, I know they won their 1st UIC match 5-0 against some league called Big Dogs, but does anyone even know who they are? Good Luck in proving me wrong.
4th - Big Dogs - bottom of the barrel in uic and with late notice of the entry of BD dunno what else to say for now... prove me wrong.
I know these preseason predictions are rather bland basic and boring but I hope you enjoy the read anyway and week 1 predictions will be up some time before the start of season, Best of luck to all teams and remember most importantly have fun.
Blue Group
1st – Dead Strokes – Chele and James will be looking to show what DS is made of and in this group they are my favourites to win it, this will all depend on the players that show each week, knowing IPA is too early for the likes of Roy and Ashton may hinder their chances but I believe DS has enough depth that it shouldn’t much matter.

5-1 lpl if not a full team 3-3
StraightShots vs Sexypoolerz
Good match up here but i dont think sp has what it takes to take down the high talent of ss and there capt tonz ive noticed tonz has done alot for ss in interlg good capt but who does petey wheel behind him who can step up besides ste and ketan i guess that means pete or adam will have to step up to if they wanna beat the likes of the ss sqaud who hold jon tonz nhan and don and not to mention there very talented pita sorry sp i dont think use stand to much of a chance but prove me wrong

WEEK 10
Break n Run 6-3-0 vs BritPool 4-1-4
This is the match of the week in my eyes seeing bnr is a full talented packed lg vs britpool now seeing ben has been a tear of late winning 4 weeks in a row and his other team mate jeremy and dj been putting up wins to but can britpool over come the power of chris rob chip rossy this match could go either way and will pommy show for bp and james is gonna be looking for revenge after losing the tie breaker in wsop but still i predict

Pdz 1-7-1 vs Sexypoolerz 2-4-3

3-3 tie
8ballcrushers 4-3-2 vs Straightshots 4-1-4
I agree with tonz on this ss hasnt been very dominating lately tie after tie seeing 8bc has bulked up this should be a good match but will steve bring his a game and who ever else they wanna bring will jon show for ss and the rest of there a sqaud even tho ss hasnt been playing to good or to bad dont see 8bc being much of a problem
4-2 Straightshots
LPL 7-0-2 vs Deadstrokes 2-5-2
i see ds has picked up a few players here and there to make a full team but will lpl bring a full team if not i see deadstroke managing a upset here if they bring a full team

IPA WEEK 7 PREDICTIONS
Britpool 3-1-2 vs LPL 6-0-0
After watching lpl win the pro champion ship coming down from 3-0 vs SS to win the match idl if Bp lead by dj and brandi can upset the power house team but you never know seeing lpl lost steve to bp but will steve play this week if dj hopes to win he will need to bring there a plus players to pull this kind of an upset off knowing lpl lead by cam and the power that lies behind him and they will be firing on all cylinders since winning the pro title.
i predict 4-2 lpl
Straight Shots 3-1-2 vs Freedom 2-2-2
I think this is gonna be an amazing match knowing the talent both teams have But i think SS is gonna be out for blood after this loss to lpl in Pro championship match so its gonna be up to petey trav and ash to pull out some big wins or i see SS walking away with this one but Knowing petey anything is possible guess we will have to wait and see .
i predict 3-3 tie
Mib 1-4-1 vs Pdz 0-5-0

i predict 5-1 bnr
8BC vs 2-3-1 vs SP 2-2-2

IPA Season 5 Week 6 Predictions
I would like to start off by thanking Mr. Know It All and Mr. Predictor for filling in for me while I was away on vacation, Job well done gentlemen, last week we saw BP take down MIB 4-2 in what can only be described as a tribute to Cubby and PFN as they took a DQ win for a player not having the correct name on ladder at the time of being called which was changed a minute later, LPL handed a goose egg to 8BC as they ran over them 6-0, FR picked up a 6-0 win over a DS no show and BNR picked up a 4-2 win over PDZ as Charles made a crucial mistake in game 6 giving it to Jase who is back with BNR in IPA, and SS narrowly squeaked out a 4-2 win over SP. Now onto this week’s predictions.
Britpool [3-1-1] vs. Freedom [2-2-1]
So is it BP or is it PFN2 as I mentioned above BP took the 4-2 win in a tribute to Cubby and PFN, I have a feeling that DJ didn’t act alone in this disgrace of a DQ as Drew had to be pissed off with his pathetic game, I think BP would be better off keeping Drew on the bench so he can stick to being an admin as it’s the only thing he is good at, DJ taking the win regardless of the influence from Drew or not was just a sad thing to watch as BP a once sporting side has turned to cheap tactics just to get a win. Will PFN2 show up this week against FR or will it be the BP side we all know and love, seeing as its against FR and the friendship Petey and Drew have I expect to see the sporting side of BP out this week as Drew and Petey have never been tempted to even take a cheap win off the opposing team. FR have been very rocky this season as their 2 wins have come from a bye and a DS no show and a lucky shorthanded draw vs. a weak SP side and with both their losses being dominate with a 1-5 vs. both MIB and LPL we haven’t really had a chance to see what FR is capable of this season but this week they will no doubt need a full team in order to compete with a interesting BP side, BP has showed shorthanded once and still managed to pick up a 4-2 win so you know when their players are on form they are a force to be reckoned with and not knowing what to expect from an FR side who has had a slow start to this season I have to give this one to BP in what may be a game 6 decider.
4-2 BP
Latino Pool Legends [5-0-0] vs. Money in the Bank [1-3-1]
If LPL keep up their winning ways they will no doubt be the IPA Season 5 champions as my rival the oracle is already referring to them as, the likes of Steve, Daru, Ant and Tino are almost a sure win any given week giving LPL everything they need and them some to steamroll over any team they come up against, this week they play an MIB side that seems to have slipped into the same routine as we have come to expect not winning a match since they crushed FR in week 1 and things aren’t getting any better for them this week, Rich along with the other MIB players have some talent and heart but that will only get you so far amongst the teams here in IPA, I can seem MIB getting a little luckier here then 8BC did last week although Nigel claims it very easily could have been a 3-3 draw, sorry Nigel but when you’re facing LPL nothing is ever easy and they will prove that once again this week as they storm over MIB.
5-1 LPL
Deadstrokes [1-4-0] vs. Straight Shots [3-1-1]
DS no showed last week giving freedom their 2nd easy 6-0 win and with talks of DS withdrawing from IPA I doubt they will show this week either, so who will replace DS if they do in fact withdraw, I don’t even know as I’ve yet to hear anything from the rumor mill other than that TC is interested in coming back to IPA but it seems the surge of activity they had after mike left as admin has come to a screeching halt with his return TC is looking like a ghost town once again so with no probable replacements let’s hope DS show this week and give SS a challenge rather than the probable free win.
6-0 SS
Pool Dragonz [0-5-0] vs. 8 Ball Crushers [2-3-0]
PDZ could of very easily got their 1st set of points on the board last week with a 3-3 draw but a crucial mistake by Charles near the end of game 6 gave the game right back to BNR for them to take it 4-2. I have to quote Nigel here from his post in the IPA forum “Much closer than the score suggests (predictors take note!) Ever seen a match when NOTHING goes right for one team? ^ This was it.... could so easily have been 3-3 with just a slither of fortune for 8BC... oh well lol :)” well the fact is its Yahoo Pool and a game can change with one shot such as Charles vs. Jase in game 6 last week were it was indeed one shot that cost PDZ the points, don’t get me wrong 8BC have some quality players but there is never an easy anything in yahoo pool and I think PDZ will prove that again this week in a shocking upset as they put their 1st points on the board and a full 4 at that.
4-2 PDZ (it’s been awhile so maybe I’m off my rocker but gooooooooo underdogs)
Sexy Poolerz [2-1-2] vs. Break and Run [3-2-1]
Here we have what we thought would be 2 of the top contending teams going against each other in a must win situation if they want a chance at getting back near the top, with what looks like LPL having the #1 spot all locked up the main thing to be playing for is that #2 seed and a 1st round bye in the playoffs and that’s what all teams will be hoping for other then LPL of course, The oracle claims that SP took a “Cubby” win by dqing a player who wasn’t on the IPA ladder but the reality of it is, RULES ARE RULES AND IT’S THE CAPTAINS RESPONSIBILITY TO CHECK, SS failed to make sure their player was elig to play last week and SP caught the fact that the player wasn’t signed up, this is a prime example of captains doing their job now whether it was Adam or Pete who caught this I’m not sure but a job well done on living up to your captains duties, you won’t be getting any dq wins this week for that reason unless Josh shows up again and still isn’t on the ladder but seeing as that is highly unlikely and BNR looking to push their way to the top I see this going their way as SP haven’t been able to put together a solid run so far this season
4-2 BNR
Britpool [3-1-1] vs. Freedom [2-2-1]
So is it BP or is it PFN2 as I mentioned above BP took the 4-2 win in a tribute to Cubby and PFN, I have a feeling that DJ didn’t act alone in this disgrace of a DQ as Drew had to be pissed off with his pathetic game, I think BP would be better off keeping Drew on the bench so he can stick to being an admin as it’s the only thing he is good at, DJ taking the win regardless of the influence from Drew or not was just a sad thing to watch as BP a once sporting side has turned to cheap tactics just to get a win. Will PFN2 show up this week against FR or will it be the BP side we all know and love, seeing as its against FR and the friendship Petey and Drew have I expect to see the sporting side of BP out this week as Drew and Petey have never been tempted to even take a cheap win off the opposing team. FR have been very rocky this season as their 2 wins have come from a bye and a DS no show and a lucky shorthanded draw vs. a weak SP side and with both their losses being dominate with a 1-5 vs. both MIB and LPL we haven’t really had a chance to see what FR is capable of this season but this week they will no doubt need a full team in order to compete with a interesting BP side, BP has showed shorthanded once and still managed to pick up a 4-2 win so you know when their players are on form they are a force to be reckoned with and not knowing what to expect from an FR side who has had a slow start to this season I have to give this one to BP in what may be a game 6 decider.
4-2 BP
Latino Pool Legends [5-0-0] vs. Money in the Bank [1-3-1]
If LPL keep up their winning ways they will no doubt be the IPA Season 5 champions as my rival the oracle is already referring to them as, the likes of Steve, Daru, Ant and Tino are almost a sure win any given week giving LPL everything they need and them some to steamroll over any team they come up against, this week they play an MIB side that seems to have slipped into the same routine as we have come to expect not winning a match since they crushed FR in week 1 and things aren’t getting any better for them this week, Rich along with the other MIB players have some talent and heart but that will only get you so far amongst the teams here in IPA, I can seem MIB getting a little luckier here then 8BC did last week although Nigel claims it very easily could have been a 3-3 draw, sorry Nigel but when you’re facing LPL nothing is ever easy and they will prove that once again this week as they storm over MIB.
5-1 LPL
Deadstrokes [1-4-0] vs. Straight Shots [3-1-1]
DS no showed last week giving freedom their 2nd easy 6-0 win and with talks of DS withdrawing from IPA I doubt they will show this week either, so who will replace DS if they do in fact withdraw, I don’t even know as I’ve yet to hear anything from the rumor mill other than that TC is interested in coming back to IPA but it seems the surge of activity they had after mike left as admin has come to a screeching halt with his return TC is looking like a ghost town once again so with no probable replacements let’s hope DS show this week and give SS a challenge rather than the probable free win.
6-0 SS
Pool Dragonz [0-5-0] vs. 8 Ball Crushers [2-3-0]
PDZ could of very easily got their 1st set of points on the board last week with a 3-3 draw but a crucial mistake by Charles near the end of game 6 gave the game right back to BNR for them to take it 4-2. I have to quote Nigel here from his post in the IPA forum “Much closer than the score suggests (predictors take note!) Ever seen a match when NOTHING goes right for one team? ^ This was it.... could so easily have been 3-3 with just a slither of fortune for 8BC... oh well lol :)” well the fact is its Yahoo Pool and a game can change with one shot such as Charles vs. Jase in game 6 last week were it was indeed one shot that cost PDZ the points, don’t get me wrong 8BC have some quality players but there is never an easy anything in yahoo pool and I think PDZ will prove that again this week in a shocking upset as they put their 1st points on the board and a full 4 at that.
4-2 PDZ (it’s been awhile so maybe I’m off my rocker but gooooooooo underdogs)
Sexy Poolerz [2-1-2] vs. Break and Run [3-2-1]
Here we have what we thought would be 2 of the top contending teams going against each other in a must win situation if they want a chance at getting back near the top, with what looks like LPL having the #1 spot all locked up the main thing to be playing for is that #2 seed and a 1st round bye in the playoffs and that’s what all teams will be hoping for other then LPL of course, The oracle claims that SP took a “Cubby” win by dqing a player who wasn’t on the IPA ladder but the reality of it is, RULES ARE RULES AND IT’S THE CAPTAINS RESPONSIBILITY TO CHECK, SS failed to make sure their player was elig to play last week and SP caught the fact that the player wasn’t signed up, this is a prime example of captains doing their job now whether it was Adam or Pete who caught this I’m not sure but a job well done on living up to your captains duties, you won’t be getting any dq wins this week for that reason unless Josh shows up again and still isn’t on the ladder but seeing as that is highly unlikely and BNR looking to push their way to the top I see this going their way as SP haven’t been able to put together a solid run so far this season
4-2 BNR
