FINAL REGULAR SEASON RESULTS

European leagues are a little different than in the US - so tracking everything that is happening can be a little confusing for fans back home.  This last weekend concluded the regular season, and now we are preparing for the semi-finals of two competitions.  You see, we are first competing within our own country's league - AFL - and at the same time are competing in a separate "Champions" league that matches up the best teams from all the different countries in Europe.  Here's where we stand:

AUSTRIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE FINAL STANDINGS

SWARCO RAIDERS TIROL   6-2
Graz Giants  5-3
Danube Dragons 5-3
Raiffeisen (Vienna) Vikings 3-5
Cinneplexx Blue Devils* 4-4
Carinthian Black Lions* 4-4

* Blue Devils & Black Lions compete in "interdivisional" play against teams from the first and second division in Austria.  They are automatic 5 & 6 seeds into the play-offs.
QUARTERFINALS: 

Dragons (5-3) vs. Black Lions (4-4).  June 20th.
Blue Devils (4-4) vs. Vikings (3-5).    June 21st.
BYE: Raiders, Giants.

Semi-Finals to be played June 28th.  Austrian Bowl July 18.


EUROBOWL SEMI-FINALS

Porvoo Butchers (Finland) at SWARCO RAIDERS (Austria)
Graz Giants (Austria) at Flash de la Courneuve (Paris, France)

Both semi-final games to be played the weekend of Saturday, June 13th.

You are already showing the HEART of a champion, J. You have already won along this success road with the Raiders this season. Couldn't be prouder!
