A few low influence exchanges, a few predictive struggle games, and a slew of medium profile matches defines the games to be played at the Armory this Saturday. Could be a good data sampling, it will certainly be indicative of where each competing team ranks in the League. With four games scheduled for both low-games-played Stevenson and first-event-of-the-season Penn State, we will be able to have greater confidence in their ratings following the results this Saturday. Eastern teams, take advantage of the cheap gas and proximity between your schools!
Nevertheless, it’s great to see any team playing more matches whenever they can. We’re totally on par for 250 matches this year! But have fun in every one of them, that’s all an old DePaul player can ask.

I wouldn’t have known about this dodgeball exchange if it wasn’t for this article; helpful.
