    Fresno RFC Into the Pac Coast Region

    So folks here it is. TC9 has been a prodigal, but sort of busy one, to TWF. The Mighty Boom Chooks of Fresno are Boise-bound, 10 up and none down for this year. Perhaps I was Lazy, Perhaps I was merely superstitious, but here is our final league table:

    Fresno finished out the season as Nor Cal D2 Champs, and also a perfect Regular Season going 10-0. They were also unbeaten in pre-season going 4-0.

    The boys leave this Friday for Boise and the PCRU Playoffs.

    Week 11
    Stanislaus Bye
    Diablo Gaels 41(7 tries) vs. Vacaville 28(4 tries)
    Fresno 20(2 tries) vs 19 BA Baracus (1 tries)
    Santa Rosa 45 (4+tries) vs. San Jose 26(3 tries)
    SFGG 92(4+tries) vs. Vallejo 7(1 tries)
    Chico 37(7 tries) vs. Arroyo Grande 19 3(tries)

    DIV II Clubs Win Lose Tie
    Fresno 10 0
    SFGG 9 1
    Santa Rosa 7 3
    BA Baracus 6 3 1
    Diablo Gaels 6 3 1
    San Jose 5 5
    Chico 5 5
    Stanislaus 3 7
    Vacaville 2 8
    Arroyo Grande 1 9
    Vallejo 0 10

    Cheers,
    TC9

    P.S. I will give the good, the bad, and extraordinarily ugly from Boise. Rally Fresno!!!

    Thanks!!!- there's some weird arrangement I've just got wind of--- something like, we, the #1 seat, will have to play a double-elimination in Boise to advance. Maybe because we didn't use small caliber weapons as a response to on-field challenges like our well-to-do Bay Area Brothers?(juuuust havin' fun, not serious) Doesn't make sense, being penalized for going 10-0... I'll try and find out more.. NCRFU, PNRFU & ARFU
    Host PNRFU: Snake River RFC - Boise, ID
    Contact: Jeremy Haener
    jeremy@inlandcrane.com
    Date: May 1st & 2nd 2010

    Saturday - May 1st 2010:
    Pool A
    Match A 12:00 PM: NCRFU 1 vs PNRFU 3
    Match B 2:00 PM: AZRFU 2 vs PNRFU 1

    Pool B
    Match C12:00 PM: AZRFU 1 vs NCRFU 3
    Match D 2:00 PM: NCRFU 2 vs PNRFU 2

    Sunday - May 2nd 2010:
    Match E 10:00 AM: Loser A vs Loser B
    Match F 10:00 AM: Loser C vs Loser D
    Match G 12:00 PM: Winner A vs Winner B
    Match H 12:00 PM: Winner C vs Winner D

    Winner of Match G = PC #1 = USA #1
    Winner of Match H = PC #2 = USA #6
    Loser of Match H = PC #3 = USA #9

    If I see this correctly,the winner of Match A, plays the winner of match B. So ourselves or Valley of Seattle, Washington, have to win twice to advance as Pac Coast v. USA#1. Doesn't this seem weird? Why should the top seeds play a double elimination as a reward for finishing the regular season on top? Call me crazy...or dim...daft?? maybe??

    TChook, to me it seems your "reward" is to play the equal bottom team in the first round?
    May have read easier and like the RWC if instead of calling them Pools (indicating everyone plays three matches) that they just called them Quarter Finals.
    It looks like a fairly normal format to me where everyone plays two matches to get ranked.
    After all, to be the best you need to beat the best

    The odd thing, if I've read it right, is that AZRFU2 (second in Arizona conference?) have a chance of being Pac Coast #1, whereas AZRFU1 (first in Arizone conference?) only have a chance of being Pac Coast #2. Similar situation with PNRFU3 and PNRFU2.

    But congratulations, TC9. Unbeaten must be an awesome feeling.
