playoff races! Alpha is basically settled, what a race in Beta though!!!
Seriously fun season all. I'm thinking i'm going to sit next one out. Need a bit of a break, as you can probably tell my head is not exactly in it at the moment haha
OFFICIAL ELIMINATION GAME: Reapers vs Rome.
Alpha:
Buckhead - CLINCHED Playoff-O-Meter: 100%
Reapers - +2, games against Rome, Buckhead remaining. Best tiebreak of the three still alive teams (points allowed 183, Blitzin 233, Rome 311). Stumbling and bumbling to the finish line go the Reapers, but due to JUCO beating Rome it doesn't matter unless an absolute catastrophe. Playoff-O-Meter: 99.99%
Blitzin - +2, games against Buckhead, JUCO. To drop out, they'd need to lose both games AND have a 71 point points allowed gap breached. Feels...unlikely. Playoff-O-Meter: 99.5%
JUCO - CLINCHED Playoff-O-Meter: 100%
Rome - -2, games against Reapers, CPU bears. no head to head tiebreak and the worst points allowed by some distance. They'll shut out the bears and possibly the Reapers too given the blade team's apparent indifference. Will Blitzin give up 72? Playoff-O-Meter: 0.05%
PROJECTED PLAYOFF GAMES:
(1) Buckhead vs (4) Reapers
(2) JUCO vs (3) Blitzin
Beta:
Fish - CLINCHED Playoff-O-Meter: 100%
Kline - CLINCHED Playoff-O-Meter: 100%
UP TWO SPOTS -> London - +1 with games against Peewee, Berlin. London take control of the race! But its a tenuous grasp at best, because of their almost unbelievable 418 points against. They don't have the tiebreak over Tokyo OR Peewee yet and a loss to Peewee combined with two Tokyo wins means London is likely out on points allowed (London 418, Peewee 378, Tokyo 249)! Playoffs have begun for London!Playoff-O-Meter: 50%
UP ONE SPOT -> Peewee - +1, with games against London and then the Fish. Peewee still controls their destiny but the only way to be sure is win this next one. Winning against London is almost a guaranteed clinch on tiebreakers unless they get absolutely hammered by the Fish in the finale. Playoff-O-Meter: 50%
DOWN TWO SPOTS -> Tokyo - -1, with games against Berlin, Kline. They'll be in fourth place next week no matter what by virtue of London playing Peewee, which means their season comes down to the game vs Kline. Win that one and they're in. Lose that one and they need to hope the Fish don't forget to set their AI. I love a race where every team has their fate in their own hands. Playoff-O-Meter: 50%
