The Teams one by one started to set up in their starting zones, but wait, where are the Cylon Deathtraps? Will they make it in time? Will it only be a five team final?


The team set up,  but still no sign of the robot team.

Oh wait, I think I see movement in the purple zone. oh yes it's the Cylon Deathtraps, led out by their offensive coach Bane. 

The Robots of the Cylon Deathtraps arrive just in the nick of time for the Ultimate final

The Encom Gridrunners enter the arena.


The dreadballs get launched in to begin the game. One lands in the alley between the purple and red zone, the other in the alley between the yellow and orange zone right in front of Alpha  Simian and human striker no.8 Castor.

Rush One

The Greenbay Packrats act first with the MVP Nightshade running into the red zone alley to snatch up the ball. The Z'zor striker no.2 Mendeleev looks on as Nightshade fumbles the ball and it scatters in to the yellow/purple score zone behind him. He won't be happy with that.

MVP Nightshade fumbles and the ball

Cylon Deathtraps take the advantage and a jack transforms into a guard and slams onto the Z'zor striker no.2 Mendeleev knocking him to the floor. The robot continues his rampage and slams Nightshade who uses his dirty tricks to get the referee to send off the Nameless striker no.5 Scuttle Scuttle for two rounds. Nightshade hits gets knocked out for two rounds. Do you think we will see him again?
The same Cylon Deathtrap guard slams into the back of the Giant Alpha Simian pushing on to the ball scattering it.

The Cheatyface Crew open up their sub's bench door and a zee comes on to the pitch, followed by another , sorry make that two others, no wait one, two, three, four, oh my! That's six more Zee players have sneaked on to the pitch. Attention turns to the Refbot, who it seems hasn't noticed any sneak foul. The Cheatyface Crew players seem to have created a wall to block off their scoring zones, it's "Zee wall"

"Zee wall"

The Z'zor Coach shouts some advice from the sidelines. Striker No.8 Mendeleev backflipped back onto his feet, he moved quickly to gain possession of a loose ball. He sprints into the yellow score zone. Will this be the first points scored in the game? The ball has left his claw and it looks like the shot is, Yes it's a Successful strike , Two points for Professor Pym's Ant-Agonists!

 The Refbot's eyes glows red to keep a closer eye on possible fouls.
Gridrunner Striker No.6 Innistrad runs to pick up the ball.
Another Fumble! Is there something wrong with today's Dreadball gloves? Personally i think it's Zee mischief.

Rush two

Those strike attempts seem to have energised the crowd
Looks like the Cheatyface Crew's support coach is having trouble organising the Zee cheerleaders.
The rest of the Zee on the pitch are plugging in any gaps in their wall. Looks like the Refbot has finally ordered a zee off. It's No.3 Monkey legend one of the Zee's star players. Refbot is signaling that it's for the rest of the game. The Zee Coach is going Bananas!

Gridrunner Striker No.6 Innistrad runs and picks up the ball. She manages to get into a three point score position in the purple zone. This could be her chance to redeem herself from her earlier fumble. 
Gridrunner Striker No.6 Innistrad Gets in position to score three points.

The ball leaves her hand lightning fast but it flies right past the strike hex and into the red/purple zone. Another miss, she isn't having a good game at all. I'm sure the Encom Gridrunner coach will have something to say about her performance later.

Encom Gridrunners Offensive coach Patches shouts from the subs bench.

A Packrat runs on to put pressure on a Robot guard, Alpha Simian turns around and slams into the robot guard. Looks like that robot is scrap for sure. 


The robot slams back at the Giant. I don't believe it, the MVP Alpha simian is down, the med-teams are in to drag the huge corpse off the pitch. The Robot guard remains standing  covered in Simian gore.
Looks like the Offensive coach Bane wants a new gorilla skin coat.

A Robot guard slams the Gridrunner striker No.8 Castor and takes him out of the game for two turns. Continuing its rampage he slams into back of the MVP Nameless Spawn knocking it back. in an attempt to doge past the robot falls at the Nameless spawns feet.
 That's a worrying position that robot has gotten itself into.
