Before the results let me first remind you the new playoffs system:
The top 6 teams qualifies for the playoffs
but only the teams ranks 3 to 6 play in the playoffs quarter-finals
the teams ranked 1-2 automatically qualify to the semi-finals
and will wiat for the winners in the quarter-finals.
So yesterday, one round before the end of the regular league
and before they meet each other Ramat-Hasharon and Raanana promised
thier place in the playoffs Semi-Finals as they will finish 1-2 in the league.

We already have the two playoffs quaruter finals series
Bney Yehuda - Elizur Ramla (Gant, Botenko and Rozova vs. their old team,
tough series to guess. I will choose Bney Yehuda altough Ramla with RRS
Reed, Randall and Lovelace can beat any team)
Elizur Holon - Maccabi Ramat-Hen (the home advantage will be settled in the
last round. it's a great series, Vicky vs. Viki, Barns vs. Edwards,
but I guess Holon wil take it 2 - 0 )
Next week 2 updates. The first with results,
the second with a league summery , leaders of all the stats categories,
and the pick of the best five and MVP of the league
and more.
