We've got a tight race for the Supporter's Shield with a handful of teams in contention.

Meanwhile a 4-match losing streak has my Timbers in a free fall in the West ... yikes!!!

[flexmaster33]

The West has two playoff clinchers already with Kansas City and Houston guaranteed of a spot.

[flexmaster33]

Half of the playoff field is set...the other 8 spots remain up for grabs. Good luck on the chase everyone.

[flexmaster33]

Standings are updated...defending champ Kansas City looks to be the favorite for the Supporter's Shield with an impressive 14-0-0 home record. That KC crowd must be intimidating!!!

[flexmaster33]

Four more spots filled...San Diego and Minnesota have clinched in the West, while Atlanta and Philadelphia have secured spots in the East.

That leaves four spots up for grabs

[flexmaster33]

Game 33s sent out ... that leaves one more in the regular season.

I'm heading out of town for a few days, so won't be able to update until late this coming week.

Good luck all

[flexmaster33]

Final matches of the regular season have been sent.

We will fill out the playoff brackets as results come in.

Expect a large update to the ladder and scoreboard late Monday night

[flexmaster33]

All regular-season games are out. The 8 spots in the West are accounted for, but seeding can still get juggled.

Two spots in the East with three teams fighting to stay alive.

[flexmaster33]

Hey everyone...there are still a few matches to go final in the regular season, but nothing that affects the playoff bracket.

So we are active with first-round matchups. Note: Only the first round is a best-of-three series...after that the playoffs go to single elimination games.

Also, a reminder of overtime rules for the playoffs (No ties in the postseason). So basically, if a match is tied, an additional map will be sent out until a winning goal is scored.

Good luck everyone, and for those who didn't make the bracket thanks for playing the season!!!

[flexmaster33]

Bracket updated ... One match still active in the first round with DC United and Philadelphia fighting to advance. Otherwise all of the higher seeds have advanced into the quarterfinals. A heavy-favorite bracket.

[flexmaster33]

#5 seed Philadelphia pulls off the only upset of the first round with a 5-4 overtime win at DC United.

[flexmaster33]

Congrats to nadin as the Houston Dynamo knocked off defending champion and this year's Supporter's Shield winner Kansas City to emerge out of the West for a spot in the MLS title game.

[flexmaster33]

MLS Cup will be hosted by New England if they advance out of the East OR by Houston if Philly emerges from the East.

[flexmaster33]

Official updates tomorrow...sorry been out sick most of the week... but it's Philly vs. Houston for the championship
