Wednesday’s MegaLinks

A look at what’s happening in the MegaBracket world this morning…

• IFL Individual Awards Announced
  • Sioux Falls QB Chris Dixon headlines the awards, earning his 3rd Offensive Player of the Year Award in 4 seasons
  • The league MVP and Coach of the Year will be announced on Thursday
• IFL’s Conference Semifinals Rapid Reaction
  • Sioux Falls set league records for points a game, a half (63), and a quarter (35) during their 79-21 blitzing of Lehigh Valley
  • The Wichita Wild knocked off the Allen Wrangles thanks to a 54-yard FG by James Chandler with 18 seconds left
• IWFL Playoff Brackets
  • IWFL official brackets are out. Game times have been confirmed so the pick deadline is officially Saturday @ 10:00 am CDT as previously expected.
• IBL Playoffs Coming Next Week
  • Tournament on July 5, 6 & 8 – no official word on the website for how many teams (last year was 6)
  • Regular season ends July 3 so it will be a quick turnaround to the playoffs. The picks page will be available as soon as possible on July 3 with the deadline being tip off of the first game on July 5
• APFL’s Sioux City Bandits are Ready for the Playoffs
  • The defending champs will open the APFL playoffs on July 8 against either the Mid-Missouri Outlaws or the Kansas Koyotes
• Changes Likely for the 2013 Foxtel Cup
  • The second-tier competition for Australian rules football may change from 16 to 8 teams and move from Saturdays to Tuesdays to minimize the disruption to league schedules running concurrently
• College Football Playoff
  • Not a current or upcoming MB event, but obviously big news in the sports world today. With as much as we at MB love college football, it seemed newsworthy. But, seeing as how this is still MB, it lands 7th, right after Australian rules football.
