Last week we started the spring 2016 competition with the most team entries, 14 in total. Late entries of two teams in Division two forced the draw to be arranged into a five-week found Robin instead of seven weeks. So the teams in Division two will have to play two matches a night over two nights. We will see fatigue settle in with their later games.
In Divison 1 previous competition winner Catalyst IT started high with a 5-0 win over newly promoted Division 2 winners BNZ Mercenaries. BNZ earned their Division one spot after winning the Division two grade in the Winter competition. They are a team to watch as their skills grow over time.
WITC (top seed team) took on the mighty Kitomba Paddle Pals (Multiple competition winners). For the first time ever Kitomba had a 5-0 loss. In all fairness, the skill level in division one has lifted due to the entry of WITC and Tenzing.
Newcomers Tenzing entered this competition as the unknown entity. They took a 5-0 win over returning team I Love Paris. Tenzing could have one hand on the trophy already with their skill level. I Love Paris looked rusty, Samara their big hitter has a returned after having a gorgeous baby. Keep an eye on them as she will bring the pips along soon.
Division 2 saw the welcome return of Supreme and Storypark making eight teams in Division 2. Upon return, Supreme was put to the test straight away and playing top-seeded team CoreLogic Ren. Even though Supreme lost 5-0, they found form in the following round with two big wins putting them third on the table closely behind Team Outpost.
Team Outpost made a promising start to the competition with a 5-0 win over Hashbang 2. They are looking much better this round and look to be a chance for the trophy. Still, it's early days. Powerbees make a return to Division 2 only to take on their old rivals Hashbang 1 which they lost narrowly to in the Spring 2015 competition finals. Hashbang 1 won with ease.
CoreLogic Stimpy had their first win since the autumn comp. They faced up against Storypark who has come back after a hiatus. Storypark lost 2-3 games to CoreLogic Stimpy, but they are looking good and have acquired some new skills watch out for them. Overall I'm pleased with the skill level in this competition everyone is looking good.
