Final seedings and playoff matchups are on the line in the leadup to the final regular season games in the adult soccer league at the Center of Anna Maria Island.
The top six seeds earn an automatic spot in the playoffs, while the bottom four teams have to earn a chance to extend their season to the playoff games.
Sato Real Estate, Gulf Drive Cafe, Language Services Associates and Hampton Painting currently occupy the bottom four spots in the standings and, other than Language Services Associates and Hampton Painting, the bottom four is set.
Language Services Associates will take on Moss Builders and a victory would lift Language Services into the No. 6 seed and drop Moss  to No. 8. Hampton Painting will take on current No. 4 seed, Bubble Binz, and a Hampton victory would lift them into a tie for the No. 6 seed, where tiebreakers would come into play.
The rest of the seedings are pretty much set except for No. 2, which is a battle between Pool America and Ross Built. Pool America takes on current No. 5 seed AMI Dolphin Tours, while Ross Built will take on No. 1 seed Solid Rock Construction Dec. 5 in regular-season action.
Stay tuned, and take in a match at the center.
