Rapidplay Ladder Latest

Eddie lost 6 games in a row in the ladder, however as they were to much higher graded opponents he still has an handsome lead at the top of the ladder.

Bill gaines 75 points from Eddie's run of bad fortune. As these games were on the limit of grading performace (Bill outgrades Eddie by over 50 points) it's a slightly unfair way for bill to collect points, but unless we ban mismatches it's unavoidable.

Due to the grading spread of our team there will always be mismatches being played.
