Warrior General Games

Here's the playoff picture after 14 games for Canada A #2, with 2 games left to play.

The number in {brackets} next to each team is their "magic number." ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_%28sports%29 ) Any combination of wins by your team or losses by the team you need to finish ahead of means you clinch a playoff spot.

Could be an interesting fight for the 8th seed in the East. I thought Niagara was all but out of it after the loss to Lincoln, and they still pretty much are. Lincoln has 2 very good teams yet to play, while Niagara only has 1, but Lincoln has the tiebreaker. Niagara will have to pull off the upset at Gaffney and hope Lincoln's games stay true to form vs. Hamilton and Listowel.

Just eliminate us. We play Puvi in the last game which we'll get blown out. It's not looking good up in Aujuittuq.

Do the magic numbers account for Tiebreakers?

Yes they do. But thanks to all the parity and all the complicated ties that are still possible, the only way for most teams to clinch their playoff scenario is to avoid those ties altogether. And the magic number is about clinching, not tying and hoping to win a tie-breaker.

Have to calculate a bit yourself no matter what, since it takes into account both your wins and competitors losses. F. ex, tomorrows game will count for 2 if the muskies win (towards securing them top-2)

Indeed, but the Magic Number is about mathematical possibilities, not about probabilities. An 0.1% chance of making the playoffs is still a chance.

I have a feeling Huskies will be number 2 unless Gaffney beats PMM.

Otherwise I love like these statistics..

Been a very rough season for us, we had 6 players (two owners just go AWOL and their contracts expired) 2 of our better DE's and several of our depth that made our defense so good and our 2nd string RB.

We've lost so many close games to the top teams, that its unbelievable (barring a miracle) that we will miss the playoffs.

Niagara will be back in full force next season.
