Breakdown of Stats and Match Points
Each team’s points are based on match wins, which include both regular wins and DreamBreaker rounds. A DreamBreaker is used when teams are tied after four games and requires one-on-one rally scoring. A win in either section adds to the total team score.
For instance, the St. Louis Shock had 21 regular wins and 3 DreamBreaker wins in 25 matches. With only one match lost, they’ve set the pace for other teams. Meanwhile, teams like the New York Hustlers and Carolina Hogs are struggling. New York has only 4 wins and 10 points, with a very low average of 0.40 points per match.
In the Challenger Level, the Florida Smash also struggled with just 1 DreamBreaker win and only 5 match victories.
Why These Standings Matter
These standings are crucial as teams look to qualify for championship rounds later in the season. The St. Louis Shock’s strong performance makes them top favorites for the Premier title, while the Las Vegas Night Owls appear to be the team to beat in the Challenger division.
With matches still left in the season, teams at the bottom will need big comebacks to stay in the race. Top teams will focus on keeping their form, avoiding injuries, and preparing for final tournaments.
