year's runner-up is back to take it another step.
Homestead Grays Conference: NJ (93-57) vs. Motley (100-50)
Both teams had no significant competition as NJ raced to the
Pittsburgh Crawfords title for the 2nd straight year and Motley won 41
more games than last season's last place finish to win the Chicago
American Giants Division.
Season series: Motley had an 7-5 advantage
League Power Index Rankings: Motley: 1 NJ: 2

Kansas City Monarchs Conference: YYZ (81-70) vs.
Tombstone (84-66)
YYZ finished in last place in 2005, and this year they were still 5
games out after Week 22. A fast finish brought them to a tie
with Atlanta and they won the division playoff game to advance.
Tombstone has been here before - winning the conference title last
year, but coming up short in the finals in a 7 game series.
Season series: Tombstone won 7-5
League Power Index Rankings: Tombstone: 3
YYZ: 6
Tombstone Wins in 5 Games
BWB CHAMPIONSHIP : Tombstone vs. Motley
Last season, while Motley was playing in the Bottom-Feeder Open,
Tombstone fell just a bit short in the league championship, losing in
7 games. This year, Motley rebounded with the league's best
record, and Tombstone makes their second appearance in the final
series.
Season series: Motley won 4 games to 2.
