UPDATED THROUGH WEEK 13
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
WESTERN CONFERENCE
Clinched a Playoff Spot
Black Sea Seismos (12-1)
Bogota Roosters (10-3)

Can clinch next week with a win
Richey Royals (10-3)

Can clinch next week with a win and some help
Regensberg Steel Rain (9-4)
Laos Chaos (9-4)
RNG Chaos (9-4)

Eliminated from Playoff Contention
Confederates Jerk (0-13)
Winnipeg Jets (0-13)
Little Rock Hogs (3-10)

Notes
Bogota moves into the clinched group this week, by getting to 10 wins, and holding the head-to-head tiebreaker over both Kansas City and Royal Invaders. Richey can secure their spot in the playoffs with a win against Austin this week, and Austin would go a long way towards securing a spot of their own with a victory over Richey. The three teams at 9-4 can all clinch a berth this week with a win and losses by Royal Invaders and Kansas City. The list of teams fighting for the playoffs is shrinking, and looks to be 9 teams for 8 spots at the moment, unless any of the teams at 5-8 can put together a nice run to finish the season, and hope for some help.

EASTERN CONFERENCE
Clinched a Playoff Spot
Legion of Dynamic Dischord (13-0)
Newport Newz Pittbullz (10-3)
Manchester Titans (10-3)

Can clinch next week with a win
Madrid Gangsters (9-4)

Can clinch next week with a win and some help

Eliminated from Playoff Contention
Bay of God's Mercy (1-12)
Malicious Bengals (0-13)
WAR MACHINE (3-10)

Notes
Things are starting to spread themselves out in the eastern conference. Manchester locks up their playoff berth with their last win. WAR MACHINE is eliminated by their last loss. With a win over Bratislava this week, Madrid can clinch a spot in the playoffs of their own. 6 teams are currently within 1 game of the final two playoff seeds, so the last three weeks of the season are very important for those fringe teams.

GAMES OF THE WEEK - Important games in the playoff races.
Western Conference
Richey Royals (10-3) vs. Austin Slackers (8-5) - Richey is in the playoffs with a win, while also making Austin's road a lot tougher. Austin can do themselves a huge favor by winning, and may even put themselves in the drivers seat for a home playoff game with the W.
Black Sea Seismos (12-1) vs. RNG Chaos (9-4) - Black Sea can all but wrap up the #1 seed with a win, while RNG looks to keep their hopes for a first round home playoff game alive.

Eastern Conference
Legion of Dynamic Dischord (13-0) vs. Manchester Titans (10-3) - LoDD wraps up the #1 seed in the East with a W, after securing no worse than a top 3 seed last week. Manchester needs a victory to stay top 3, and on the other side of the playoff bracket from LoDD.
Hawaii Phoenixes (6-7) vs. Bubonic Bulls (6-7) - This is essentially an elimination game, as the loser will be at least 2 games out of the 8th seed, with only 2 games remaining on the schedule.
Toronto Hell Cats (7-6) vs. Apatity Awesome (8-5) - Toronto is fighting for their playoff lives, and a win here would really help out both their chances of securing a playoff spot, but also increasing their seed. A win by Apatity could potentially get them into the playoffs, depending on how the mess of teams at 6-7 fare this week.

Stick a fork in us. We're done.

(Our playoff chances, that is. Don't want to start any rumors. We'll be here for Season 24.)

While your chances may be slim, you are mathematically still alive. And until you aren't, you won't be on the Eliminated list.

OP updated with the results from Week 12. One new team clinched a spot this week (Newport), and one new team was mathematically eliminated (Little Rock). I also included a couple games of the week this time that have significant playoff implications.

Quick Question. How is bogota the only one that technically can clinch a spot. We beat them and Richey beat both of us so wouldn't that mean We all could be in there ?

Because I can't read. I was figuring tiebreakers over #7 and #8, but what I needed to do was figure over #9. I'll update the OP with the correct scenarios.

Updated through Week 13. I'm sure I missed some teams that could potentially clinch next week, but I didn't feel like going through all the tie-breakers and all the scenarios with the mess of teams fighting for the last spot in both conferences.

Long story short: If you are within a game or so of the top 8, just win your game, and you'll be in better shape!

A loss doesn´t change our position i guess due to the win against Madrid and the tiebr. advantage towards Madrid, am i right?

I believe everything you said is accurate. The notes section is more for general observations, and isn't always 100% accurate on its messages.
