MLR Week 18 Schedule/Results and List of Canadians in the Rosters: Austin Disqualified from Playoff Round

[ed. Update the Austin Gilronis have been disqualified from the playoffs by the league “Due to a violation of league rules”. San Diego or Seattle will replace them depending on weekend results.]

It’s the final weekend of the regular season and all 6 playoff teams have been decided already. The 1st place team in each division gets a bye and that’s already been decided in the East with New England topping the table. Atlanta and New York are tied at 52 points so their games this weekend will determine who gets to host the East division semi-final match.

In the West it’s all to play for with LA having a slender one point lead over Austin for 1st place. Houston are 5 points back of Austin in 3rd. This weekend’s games will decide who gets the first round bye and who hosts the division semi-final.
