The Volt League has seen its fair share of drama and excitement this season, but the latest developments have taken things to a whole new level. Following the unfortunate disqualification of Sudamerica CF due to their forfeit against Real Houston, the league has made significant decisions regarding the fate of several teams in Division 2.
Sudamerica CF Disqualified and Relegated
Sudamerica CF’s disqualification has not only led to their removal from the current season but also their relegation to the 3rd Division. This decision was made in accordance with league rules to maintain the integrity and competitive spirit of the tournament. While it’s a tough blow for the team and their players, it serves as a reminder of the high standards upheld by the Volt League.
Pasadena's Second Chance
Pasadena, another team facing potential relegation after a series of heavy defeats, has managed to secure their spot in Division 2. After thorough discussions and reviewing the season's performance, the league decided to retain Pasadena in the division, setting the stage for a more balanced competition next season.
Promotion Playoff Matchups Announced
With UH and Houston United officially promoted to Division 1, and MAFC Academy unable to advance due to the rule that prohibits two clubs from the same organization being in the same division, the league has crafted an exciting promotion playoff format to determine the final team to be promoted.
The promotion playoff will feature:
Real Houston (4th Seed) vs. Ballers HFA (7th Seed) at 5:30 PM
Longhorn FC (5th Seed) vs. Southend City (6th Seed) at 8:00 PM
These thrilling matches are set to take place this Saturday, and the winners of these games will then face off in the Promotion Playoff Final. The victor of this decisive match will earn the last promotion spot to Division 1.
Championship Playoffs to Define Division 2 Champion
The action doesn’t stop with the promotion playoffs. The league also needs to crown the Division 2 champion, adding another layer of intensity to the playoffs. The winner of the promotion final will battle it out with the 1st seed, Houston United. Meanwhile, the University of Houston (2nd seed) will take on MAFC Academy (3rd seed) in the championship semi-finals. The winners of these matchups will then face each other in the Volt League Two Championship Final.
A Season Finale for the Ages
With that being said, the regular season has officially concluded, and the stage is set for an unforgettable series of playoff matches. The upcoming promotion and championship playoffs promise to be some of the most thrilling encounters yet, with everything on the line for the teams involved.
As the season draws to a close, the excitement and anticipation continue to build.
