Not knocking my boys Cairo but how does the bracket have them as the #3 when EEORG has the tie breaker between the two and the same record?

I would be happy for them to be the 3 seed as a promoter but this is not how it should be and if i am going to start game planning for the first round i dont know who its going to be.

When doing head-to-head it only takes games won into account. Cairo beat Rwanda and EEORG beat Cairo giving them 1 win each. EEORG play Rwanda in Week 16 but them being 1-0 compared with Cairo being 1-1 doesn't matter, because they both have 1 win it goes to points scored.. If both teams win in Week 16 EEORG will be ahead on head-to-head. Hope this makes sense.

So basically if both teams win EEORG goes to the 3rd seed? I dont care who we play i just want to freakin know who so i can get a little extra time to work on em.

yea i was wondering the same thing. But i figured it would all pan out if we beat Rwanda, then we would get the 3rd seed. Not like there's really a difference between 3rd and 4th seed anyways.

Will Probably be: (Elephant)
1. Richmond 15-1 (L: RMoG)
2. RMoG 14-2 (L: BoB, EEORG)
3. EEORG 12-4 (L: Dakar, Cape Verde, Lake Mzumba)
4. Cairo Cannibals 12-4 (L: Richmond, EEORG, RMoG, Port Harcourt)
X. Lake Mzumba 11-5 (L: Cairo Can, Swazi, Richmond, RMoG, Dakar)
X. Dakar 11-5 (L: Cairo Cann, Richmond, RMoG, Cairo Crocs, Rwanda)
X. Rwanda 11-5 (L: Cairo Cann, Richmond, RMoG, Lake Mzumba, *EEORG)
8. Cairo Crocs 10-6 (L: RMoG, Cairo Cann, EEORG, Rwanda, Lake Mzumba, *Richmond)



5-6-7 is a 3 way tie. Dakar beat Lake Mzumba who beat Rwanda who beat Dakar. Think it goes to point differential at that stage if I'm not mistaken.
Rwanda needs to beat EEORG for the Cannibals to move up to the #3 spot and for Rwanda to secure the #4 spot which would push EEORG to the #5 spot and Dakar would take the #6 while Lake Mzumba would fall to the #7.
* denotes predicted week 16 loss.

In which case if the unexpected happens and Rwanda upsets EEORG:
1. Richmond
2. RMoG
3. Cairo Cann
4. Rwanda
5. EEORG
6. Dakar
7. Lake Mzumba
8. Cairo Crocs

and if the Crocs pull the upset this week, well then there just be a big cluster****.

and if both the Crocs and Rwanda pull the upset:
1. RMoG
2. Richmond
3. Cairo Cann
4. Rwanda
5. EEORG
6. Dakar
7. Crocs
8. Lake Mzumba.



I think that's right. It'll be interesting.

only as far as who we play, the home game situation is the same. The third seed and the second seed is where we see the bigger difference. Let me get this straight, if we get the third seed, we play cairo, if we get the 4th seed we play rwanda?

3rd seed plays us 4th seed plays Rwanda

And i would rather play Richmond in round 2 than i would RMoG.
