Final Thoughts
Like we said at the top, five different champs in the last six years. It hasn’t always been as wide open in terms of competitive nature as Delano was a massive favorite last year but each year there seems to be a new squad leading the pack. This year things are completely wide open. Delano enters as the favorite and they only have one player back that has big experience, but he is the best player in the league. Overall, this is a league that had one dominant team last year, three .500 level teams, and four teams with seasons that were often a struggle. This year there is no dominant team, and a bunch of squads that will be decent or bad. So, wide open section. If any team steps forward and finds a great chemistry they could be the champs.
