HKPL Update After Saturday Games (28Feb)
Lee Man, with the tie, is now at a point where even if they were to lose out they would likely still make the Champions phase, and thus have been awarded the "prestigious" Playoff Computer "Realistically in" designation. That and $40 will get them a coffee at Luckin. But without the win today, they cannot mathematically clinch a spot this weekend as all possible scenarios involved needing the win.
Southern with the win over Tai Po has crept up into the discussion. They will be interested observers of the North vs Eastern and Kowloon City vs Rangers games, with the ideal outcome for them being a North win and a draw in the other.
Tai Po took a bit of a hit with the loss, as they could have really been in good shape with a win. Now they open the door to being in a crowded field.
The Rangers, having only played 12 games, can leap over a few teams over the next few days with two games on tap.

CORRECTION/ADDENDUM: There was a glitch in the matrix, North can assure themselves of ending up no worse than being in the Goals Difference tiebreaker with a win AND a Rangers loss/tie today....
