Flag football playoffs are heating up this week at the LSU Student Recreational Complex.
After a regular season that saw 17 teams finish undefeated in the men’s open A bracket, 28 teams remain.
Seeds were determined by a combination of winning percentage and sportsmanship points, an area that improved this fall, according to Matt Katz, graduate assistant for leagues and tournaments.
“[This season] has been great,” Katz said. “We haven’t had any fights or serious issues. Our participation has been high. Forfeits have been low.”
Heman Woman Hater Club enters the Men’s open A bracket playoffs outscoring opponents by a combined score of 173-13 in four convincing victories.
Defensive-minded Tommy Noble stymied opponents during the regular season en route to an undefeated and unscored upon 4-0 record.
Another contender, Skittles, Taste Dwayne Bowe, coasted through the regular season 5-0 and largely untested.
After a week-one loss, Loose Cannons managed to rattle off four victories and seems primed for a postseason run.
In the Men’s Greek A bracket, 16 teams are still alive, but that number will be cut in half as they all take the field Tuesday night in the first round of the playoffs.
Defending All-Campus Champion ACACIA Black ripped through the regular season at 5-0 and remains the favorite to repeat as bracket champions.
Their toughest test may come from a familiar foe, ACACIA A, who also notched a 5-0 record.
The two will not meet until the bracket finals Nov. 14.
The winners of the Men’s open A bracket and the Men’s Greek A bracket will play for the All-Campus Championship on Nov. 28.
In the women’s division, two clear-cut favorites seem destined for a title bout: Barbies, the defending champions, and
ZTA Left.
Neither squad has been scored on since its season opener, and both boast perfect 4-0 records.
