20th Regular Season of NWL Complete; Grape-Dark for Title
The regular season has come and gone in the Nuka World League and the playoffs are just over the horizon.
One pitch, one play, one hit, one error -- or one call -- could decide it.
This is what all the teams are playing for -- the ultimate goal -- the Nuka Series crown.
What months ago was a dream is now reality.
The trade deadline has passed, along with all the GMs' wheeling and dealing. Contract negotiations are on hold. Front office work is all put on the back burner. Now it's time for each club, player, coach and manager to put their imprint on Nuka World League history. Nobody will remember the free agent who got away. No one will care about the trade that fell through. People will remember just one thing about the playoffs -- the team that wins the Nuka Series crown.
The Nuka Series starts today with these matchups:
Dark Bloodworms vs Grape Painted Ghouls.
APL
Another season has come to pass and "to the winners go the spoils" -- the lucky ones will be headed for the playoffs in a few days and a chance to win the Amusement Park League title in the Amusement Park Series. The envious losers, however, will suffer a long and somber offseason, wondering where it all went wrong and trying to figure out how to do it right.
The Amusement Park League playoffs are here -- so let the games begin! It's time to crown the Amusement Park Series champion for 2318. Now that the regular season has ended and the best ballclubs have been decided, it's playoff time. Any ballplayer worth his salt wants those coveted championship rings. A real ballplayer knows that he needs those little golden treasures to seal his fame in the league annals. The second season is here starting today with some sparkling series on tap:
Nuka Plant Electrics (Dark) vs Nuka Jolly Elves (Vic)

The 2318 season has come to a close and the playoffs will commence in a few days. The qualifying teams are gearing up for the so-called "second season" that determines the Vim! League title.
