[b6c12c83]No turning back: [/b6c12c83]

Denver has clinched the Cavalry division.
Honolulu has clinched at least a wildcard berth.
Huntington Beach, Seattle, Fargo, Oregon, Santa Cruz and Arizona have been eliminated from playoff contention.
[b6c12c83]Clinch scenarios: [/b6c12c83]
-Denver can clinch a 1st round bye with a win OR a Honolulu loss.
- Honolulu can clinch the Ring of Fire division with a win. Honolulu can also clinch a 1st round bye with a win AND a Denver loss.
- Tucson can clinch the Ring of Fire division with a win AND a Honolulu loss. With a Honolulu win, Tucson can still clinch a wildcard with a win.
- Long Beach can clinch the San Andreas division with a win AND a Sacramento loss.
- Sacramento can clinch the San Andreas division with a win AND a Long Beach loss.
If Long Beach and Sacramento both win or both lose, the tiebreaker will come down to strength of victory. [i6c12c83]Apparently[/i6c12c83], Long Beach holds the edge there but things are not definite at all.
