BC Premier Week 11 Results & Rosters: UVic Fall to Pride; Caps Top Seattle; Lomas Edge Burnaby; CW Topple Bays; UBC Dominate Westshore; Ravens Paddle Rowers

[ed. rosters posted in format last week/this week]

It took us a while this week to get the scores out, the BCRU system had JBAA defeating CW but in fact it was CW with the win. The BCRU system doesn’t have a central person responsible for scores but relies on refs entering the scores post match and there have been a few data entry errors lately. We’ve verified most of these scores with a secondary source. We’re also assuming the BCRU table accurately calculated bonus points from today’s results. UPDATE: Our assumption was apparently wrong, the BCRU table is incorrect, CW didn’t get a bonus point in their win which changes the playoff picture, we’ve revised our article accordingly.
