Well since we didn't get first in the regular season, we got 2nd, which means we got a spot for playoffs. Now play offs are super difficult to explain and don't really make any sense, but I'll try to make it as simple as possible.
There are two divisions in our region, A and B. The winner of A and the winner of B automatically advance to the next series, B2. Then teams 2-5 of both divisions enter playoffs, which are apparently a combined playoff pool.
We are the 1st seed in playoffs so we play the 4th seeded team of the other division for 2 semi final matches, 1 home and 1 away. Then we advance to finals, where we will play the winner of division A's 1 seeded team and our divisions 4 seeded team. The final match consists of just one match, on neutral ground. Seeds, 2 and 3 of both division are in there own separate semis and finals bracket, don't ask me why, but that is how it works, so there will be two winner of playoffs, and those two with advance to B2.
Yesterday was our fist semi match, our away, against a team that we have never seen. The gym was horrible, and it was VERY VERY VERY hot, but we won in 3! The games were kind of close, but we were able to pull together as a team and played very well. Next weekend we will have to play them again at home.
After our match some of us went to watch the two teams we will be playing the winner of for the finals. And let me tell you, no matter which team wins, we will have our work cut out for us, and it will be a very exciting and interesting final!
Italian word/phrase of the day: vittoria "victory"
