Week 12

The race for the final playoff spots is HEATING UP. This week was quirky as we saw the league's worst, Luchesse's Cousin almost beat mokes-a-lot, which would have ended her hopes of getting into the playoffs. Cobra Kai kept his playoff hopes alive with a crucial win over All Day Some Days.

Did I mention that Jesse almost won? It was his best score of the season! Huzzah! Amazing.

Current Playoff picture:

1. Brent 11-1 
2. Sean 9-3
3. Dan 8-4
4. Jamie 8-5
5. Scott 7-5
6. David 7-5

I emphasize that the number 5 and 6 seeds are open..sorta. 

Hanging around at 6-6 are: 

• Ben - faces Cameron, who, uh, well.... Ben can totally make the playoffs 
• John - faces Scott, who does not want to lose this last week. Both teams will have to pull out all the stops! 
• Christie - YES! Remember when she had the inside lane at getting into the playoffs? Well, she is back here to do the impossible! And who does she face? Yours truly! 

DOOMSDAY SCENARIO

the top six lose and donald trump becomes president

Brent - doesn't matter... he has the number one seed locked up.
Sean - also really doesn't matter, despite going to 9-4 where other teams could match him in record, but he has put up enough points to stay ahead of the curve, i.e. the teams that have scored above him have worse records. Remember, total points scored is the first tie breaker. Then it is pistols at dawn.
Dan - if he were to lose he goes to 8-5 and would drop in the seeding, however, he has the playoffs locked up.
Jamie- goes to 8-5 as well, but this record is sufficient to make the playoffs.

This is where things get interesting... sorta

Scott and Me - are in similar situations. Both must win out to stay in the hunt for the greatest of all hardware. If they win out (8-5 record), its game over, but going to 7-6 will open up the gates for the 6-6 teams, mentioned above. The key difference is that Scott has a significant point advantage over John - XX right now. So, Scott could miss the playoffs by losing to John AND by losing by > than XX. Something stupid like that.

My situation is much more delicate. If I were to lose, I would almost certainly be out. I do hold a scoring advantage over Christie, who also happens to be my matchup this week (by XX points). It is not likely that she would replace me, but it could happen. Me losing would most likely give Ben the final spot as he has the most favorable matchup this week.

What will probably happen:

Brent wins, because why wouldn't he?

Sean pulls out a close win over Dan

Jamie somehow plays the wrong guy again (he has had guys go for 30+ on his bench the past two weeks) and loses to Caleb. Goes (8-5).

Scott beats John, who decided to call me out and will suffer the consequences of his actions.

My hot streak ends at the hands of my lone sister. Ben beats Cameron and captures the sixth seed.

Ben getting in is a huge win for us in the consolation bracket!

I want to note that we will be having an award ceremony forthcoming. Please pay Brent the $10 for awards. We will have numerous awards based on the regular seasons performance and playoff finishes.
