Points Graph:

 

 

Tier 3: Gamblor, Ohsnappers!!!, Rodman'sWeddingDress, Baltimore Hitsquad

Tier 2: F'N FLOPPERS, Oww Ming's Flagrants

Tier 1: Pgastan FC, GG Foulin', Arlington Assaulters

We still have 3 distinct tiers we had last week though some of the teams have moved around within a tier. It's actually pretty crazy to have these tiers formed so early in the season. We'll see if they hold up or for how long. 

Well that's it for now.

Keep Foulin' Y'all!
