Conference Rankings: First matches will be up by Sunday; Send write-ups by Saturday

[HoopsDrive]

This is where we'll post the final rankings for each conference after each ballot is accounted for. This re-draft, we'll be doing a secret ballot ranking so that there isn't any bias in the final rankings. Remember that you're ranking the conference you're NOT in.

If you're in the Lina Conference, send the rankings in to me.

If you're in the Cristina Conference, send the rankings in to Pete Dahh Sneak.

Seeds #8 and #9 in the Lina Conference will play in a wild card playoff with the winner progressing to face the #1 seed.

Here are the two conferences and links to each team's clubhouses:

Lina Conference

Red Star Belgrade
Zenit St. Petersburg
Juventus
Tottenham
Wolverhampton
Hercules Alicante
Arsenal
Chelsea
Barcelona

Cristina Conference

Birmingham City
Lyon
Real Madrid
Seattle Sounders
Manchester City
River Plate

Since Arsenal has been DQ'ed, this is how the Lina Conference will shape up:

#2 Juventus vs #7 Tottenham
#3 Chelsea vs #6 Wolverhampton
#4 Hercules vs #5 Barcelona

If you plan on doing writeups, have them sent to me by Saturday. If you do not plan on writing 1, please just VM me and let me know so it'll quicken up the process of posting the matchups.
