Beirut
Beirut
7-2

LAST WK: 1

They claim the #1 spot, but the forfeit win is unfortunate considering they have a bye week too.  That means 2 weeks without playing a real game.  They will face off against the winner of Cordoba/Sana'a.

2
Mombasa
Mombasa
8-1

LAST WK: 2

Mombasa looked like they were playing in cruise control on Saturday with a modest 15 point victory.  They have a likely Round 2 match-up against Delhi which posted an upset last season.

3
Istanbul
1
LAST WK: 4

Not a pretty game as many struggled to find the bottom of the net.  However, their defense remained in tact as they end the regular season ranked first in that department.

4
Mecca
Mecca
6-3

LAST WK: 3

Very perplexing back to back losses.  The opponents were not pushovers, but for this team to end at 6-3 after a 6-1 start is not what anyone expected.  This team needs Shereef Zubi back.

5
Granada

LAST WK: 5

Their victory over Mecca is definitely an eye-opener after seemingly falling out of favor in the Power Rankings.  The revitalized group has repositioned itself as a possible contender with Yousef Zaki back in the mix.  Not to be overlooked is Muhanad Deeb - his style of play is built for a matchup against Istanbul.

6
Delhi

LAST WK: 6

After a forgetful performance from its top two scorers, Delhi will need to use Suba as the proverbial punching bag in its quest to upset a higher seed again this season.

7
Kabul
Kabul
5-4

LAST WK: 7

Didn't have enough to play on Saturday, yet they still claimed the 6th seed.  They get to catch Mecca at the right time in Round 2.

8
Cordoba
Cordoba
4-5

LAST WK: 8

After a defeat at the hands of previously hapless Sana'a, they get to avenge the loss with a rematch in Round 1.  Anwar Ahmad had his best game of the season with 28/12.

9
Suba
Suba
1-8

LAST WK: 9

The win streak comes to a screeching halt thanks to Mombasa.  However, they have an interesting Round 1 matchup against Delhi, Shahaan Kazi's former team.

10
Sana'a
Sana'a
1-8

LAST WK: 10

Finally won a game in anti-climactic double-overtime fashion!  Can they make it two in a row?
