Today is semi-final day in the IPL Summer/Fall 2016 Season. The match-ups are spectacular, if a little unexpected.


Championship A:


Let's start with the game between two of the heavyweights, Shenanigans Boomtown Rats are playing at JR BBQ Smokin' Aces. Both teams are skippered by men who, all week long, have been gracious, complimentary and honourable toward each other. There is a deep level of respect and love that runs at the very core of this fixture (it's hard to type sarcasm, isn't it). Get yourself along at 4pm. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT, IT STARTS AT 4PM to watch the fireworks. After that the Dic-Taters take on the Dark Horses at the same venue. Sin Bin disposed of the much fancied Angry Birds on Wednesday night with a brilliant comeback from 3-6 down. They have now beaten all the top 4 seeds this season and are a tricky opponent for the not-so-Dark Horses.


Championship B:


Bulldog Green Light are the next Championship B side to try and do something no other team in that division has achieved; namely defeat Zzyzx. They warmed up at JJ's the other night and put pay to the Pain and they do have decent players that could cause an upset, but it would be a massive shock. Bombadeers head to JR Pub 8 Ball Land and on paper this should go to form but if Rod, Jason, Dabu and the boys fire we could see shock.


Championship C:


This is the division for the romantics, the dreamers and the underdogs. On Wednesday, Free Shots stunned Runners, who were serenely sailing through the division until week 18. Then came the ship hit the rocks, 4 defeats later and the Runners are spent. Free Shots now get the chance to head to deepest, darkest Haebangchon to take on the Frigates. On the other side of the draw, Sweet Life's reward for defeating the Runners in Round 1 is a trip to Bulldog Super Power. Jim and the boys can't do it again, can they?


Please also cast a vote in the Bob Denny Sportsmanship Award. The poll closes tonight and we need to stop members of Boomtown Rats and Smokin' Aces voting for each other just so they can win another trophy.
