Should be an interesting final week, which doesn't always happen in this game.
Hats off to you GE. You did what you had to do to still be in position to take the wild card, and a bunch of other stuff fell your way. Good luck tomorrow.
Originally posted by Galactic Empire I've seen H2H winners not get in.
This is a pretty simple one with only 2 teams. When you have 3+ teams tied you'll start seeing weird stuff like H2H winner not getting in. If you don't make it, it would be a clear bug based on the post CDog made many seasons ago.
It sorts the entire league (not just non division champions) by the following credentials:
Wins Losses Ties
Based on that, here is the array so far:
1 Fury 12-2-0 2 Blue Ridge Moonshine Club 11-3-0 3 Whoville Whos 10-4-0 3 1980s Run Stuffers 10-4-0 3 The Simpsons 10-4-0
We have a 3 way tie for 3rd. The next set of criteria is:
Head-to-head wins (among teams with common records): All three teams are 1-1, so this is irrelevant. Points against (among teams with common records and equal numbers of head-to-head wins): This will likely be the determinant, but I can't be bothered to figure it out right now. Points for (among teams with common records and equal numbers of head-to-head wins and equal points for)
The first Alpha team in the array is the Alpha champion: Fury The first Beta team in the array is the Beta champion: Blue Ridge The first Gamma team in the array is the Gamma champion: Simpsons The first who is not a champion is the wild card: Either Whoville or 1980s, depending on who has the least points against.
Cliffs: 1980s HtH win against Whoville does not matter, because they lost to Simpsons, whom Whoville beat, and all three teams finished with the same record. Fury will be playing either 1980s or Whoville depending on which team has the best points against.
I would think 1980s still has the edge though given they play in the easiest division and so get 2 extra cupcake games where they shouldn't have given up many points.
That is dumb if that is how it is determined. Simpsons shouldn't even be in the equation since they are a division champ. The comparison should only be between me and Whoville, who I beat H2H.
It isn't though. The formula ranks teams first, then picks out division winners and wild cards. That means you are competing against potential division winners with the same record.
