Needless to say, the next point lost by Knights and Scoregasms, or the next point gained by Celtic and Sharkitohs, and Shenzen and New England both clinch playoff spots.
Brisbane Bulls are almost to that point, and Mua Saints are just one tick behind Bulls. And Sydney Vipers are a tick behind the Saints, so figure, unless hell freezes over, five of the eight playoff slots are set (although the order is definitely NOT!).
So, with eight games left, and the last placed Machu Picchu Llamas just eight points out of a playoff slot, let's just say that not even the Grapes of Nanking, in sixth currently, on 20 points, can relax - they are definitely not safely in the playoffs yet.
And if you're eighth at this moment (South Canberra Knights are just four differential points ahead of Multiple Scoregasms, level on 14 points), forget that the playoffs start in nine weeks - for everyone south of fifth place, the playoffs...start...wait for it...cake or death?...NOW!!!
