The winner could very well determine who will receive the first place bye into a semi-final game against the worst team to come out of the quarter finals, Second place gets a bye as well, but must play the highest ranking team after the first week of play- offs. However, neither of those teams has a lock on finishing among the top two. Three other teams are mixing it up for third and difference between first and fifth is only six points. Castlegar has a relatively easy schedule remaining as they play the Raiders twice and Nelson once but could find themselves in a battle in their final game. On Oct. 26, the Tom Kats travel to Glenmerry for a game against the Bandits, who currently lead Castlegar by two points.
