Re(3): Battle Court playoffs Posted on April 30, 2026 at 11:30:58 AM by jatna77
Anything can happen in the playoffs and personally I am terrible at predicting these things, so I won't.
An interesting site to compare records is this one: https://match-grades.com/Franchises
It presents some potentially interesting information based on what I assume to be overall season performance.
The Cyclones vs. The Fireballs
The top 3 teams for the Fireballs are showing as slightly better. Inaki and Unda have been the weakest team but only by a small amount.
The bottom 3 teams for the Fireballs are slightly better as well.
The season record (from https://sayhili.com/ ) for the Cyclones vs.the Fireballs (that includes singles games, which are not played in the playoffs) is: 5-1, 5-1, 1-5.
The Chargers vs. The Renegades
The top 3 teams for the Chargers have been slightly stronger than The Renegades.
The bottom 3 teams for the Chargers are stronger according to these stats.
The season record for the Chargers vs. the Renegades is: 3-3, 3-3, 1-5.
More from https://sayhili.com/
Zulaika-Amigorena vs. Goixerri-Ubilla: 0-1
Iturbide-Amigorena vs. Goixerri-Arta: 2-0
Zulaika-Julen vs. Goenaga-Ubilla: 0-2
Iturbide-Robin vs. Goenaga-Ben: 1-1
Egi-Julen vs. Arta-Gallo: 0-2
Egi-Robin vs. Gallo-Ben: 1-1
Notes: Goixerri has been getting better and better lately. Goenaga needs to step it up and dominate. Ubilla missed most of the season. He needs to be at his best or there is no hope. Julen, Zulaika and Iturbide are still inconsistent. Maybe the playoffs will bring out the best in them. Amigorena has been very solid.
Inaki-Manu vs. Urrutia-Nicolas: 1-1
Jairo-Manu vs. Laloo-Nicolas: 1-1
Inaki-Unda vs. Urrutia-Ikeda: 2-0
Jairo-Bradley vs. CRB-Ikeda: 1-1
Jeden-Unda vs. Laloo-Stan: 1-1
Jeden-Bradley vs. CRB-Stan: 1-1
Notes: Jairo was in a slump but perhaps he is back in form. Laloo has been improving lately in my opinion. Both he and Urrutia need to be accurate and aggressive if the Fireballs are to have any chance. Poor 2-walls and passive play are not going to cut it. Nicolas and Manu have been playing great all season in doubles. The new doubles ball is faster, which is a blessing and a curse for back-courters.
