PHILA PA -- This week the Philadelphia Phoenix will enjoy their first BYE after 9 straight weeks of AUDL competition, taking some much needed time for rest and reflection. With the respite we also can’t help but look ahead to the final stretch of the Phoenix season and the tangled race for playoffs the AUDL East has created.

Since the birth of the first Canadian expansion team in 2013, U.S. and Canadian teams have battled for supremacy on the AUDL field. The northern neighbors dominated the first few years of the international rivalry, but the U.S.-based teams have closed the gap, coming up just one game short in last year’s Cross Border Challenge.

In the most exciting AUDL twist yet, the league has instituted a series of cross division games for many of its teams, fielding never-before-seen matchups and exciting measures of divisional talent. And boy do we have a high flying (this will be an article feathered with bird puns) affair in store for this Saturday.
