---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Key Week 16 Matchups

1. Brisbane Gods (7-8) vs. Barossa Grapestompers (8-7)
--- Barossa needs to win and needs help from Cook Island to sneak into the 8th seed.

2. Cook Island Convicts (11-4) vs. Fiji Stingers (9-6)
--- Fiji win, they're in. Fiji loss + Barossa loss, they're in. Fiji loss + Barossa win...get out the dotgolf clubs.

3. So Cal BDC (12-3) vs. Melbourne Thorny Devils (11-4)
--- This game will have serious home game + matchup seeding implications. Possibilities to follow.

4. Vanuatu Kava Sharks (11-4) vs. Samoa Gangsters (10-5)
--- This game will also have serious playoff seeding implications.

For anyone who cares, Zeta really was a meat grinder this year. MTD can finish anywhere from 3rd to 7th after Week 16 games, as an example. Assuming no major upsets, and using two key matchups between playoff-bound teams, here is how the top 7 could shake out:

A

MTD over BDC
Samoa over VKS

1. Nites (15-1)
2. Heat (13-3)

3. MTD (12-4) 2-0 in tiebreaker
4. Convicts (12-4) 1-1 in tiebreaker
5. BDC (12-4) 0-2 in tiebreaker

6. Samoa (11-5) 1-0 in tiebreaker
7. VKS (11-5) 0-1 in tiebreaker


B

MTD over BDC
VKS over Samoa

1. Nites (15-1)
2. Heat (13-3)

3. MTD (12-4) 2-1 in tiebreaker, 600+ points
4. Convicts (12-4) 2-1 in tiebreaker, 600+ points
5. VKS (12-4) 1-2 in tiebreaker, 800+ points
6. BDC (12-4) 1-2 in tiebreaker, 700+ points

7. Samoa (10-6)

C

BDC over MTD
Samoa over VKS

1. Nites (15-1)

2. BDC (13-3) 1-0 in tiebreaker
3. Heat (13-3) 0-1 in tiebreaker

4. Convicts (12-4) 0-1 in tiebreaker

5. Samoa (11-5) 1-1 in tiebreaker, 800+ points
6. VKS (11-5) 1-1 in tiebreaker, 800+ points
7. MTD (11-5) 1-1 in tiebreaker, 600+ points


D

BDC over MTD
VKS over Samoa

1. Nites (15-1)

2. BDC (13-3) 1-0 in tiebreaker
3. Heat (13-3) 0-1 in tiebreaker

4. Convicts (12-4) 1-0 in tiebreaker
5. VKS (12-4) 0-1 in tiebreaker

6. MTD (11-5)

7. Samoa (10-6)

----

Obviously, 8th place comes down to:

Grapestompers vs. Gods: Barossa must win to stay alive, and then need a Fiji loss as well.

and

Stingers vs. Convicts: Fiji gets in by win or tie, and they can lose along with a Barossa loss. A loss + Barossa win is their ticket out, and they don't want to punch it.

-----

For the record, I think Barossa sneaks in the playoffs on the tiebreaker over Fiji as the Stingers drop their last game vs. the Convicts and the Grapestompers take out the Gods in Week 16. In fact, here is how I see things shaking out (yes, when it comes to my team, I'm an optimist and I know the BDC boys (and girl) will disagree with me!

1. Nites (15-1)
2. Heat (13-3)
3. MTD (12-4) 2-0 in tiebreaker
4. BDC (12-4) 1-1 in tiebreaker
5. Convicts (12-4) 0-2 in tiebreaker
6. Samoa (11-5) 1-0 in tiebreaker
7. VKS (11-5) 0-1 in tiebreaker
8. Barossa (9-7) 1-0 in tiebreaker
-----
9. Fiji (9-7) 0-1 in tiebreaker

Gods are prepared to punch Barossa's ticket home, not to Banzai(Wherever that is).

Not to rain on my own parade, but BDC lost to Cook Island in the regular season, so I think we would lose all the tiebreakers except for against VKS and we would wind up with the 5 seed if MTD beats us.

Good catch, I mixed that one up.

Fixed above, lmk if you catch anything else.

The Zeta Meat Grinder

Brisbane Heat probable finishes: 2nd or 3rd

So Cal BDC probable finishes: 2nd, 5th or 6th big swing game candidate #1

Cook Island Convicts probable finishes: 3rd or 4th

Melbourne Thorny Devils probable finishes: 3rd, 4th, 6th or 7th big swing game candidate #2

Vanuatu Kava Sharks probable finishes: 5th, 6th or 7th

Samoa Gangsters probable finishes: 5th, 6th or 7th

Fiji Stingers probable finishes: 8th or 9th

Barrosa Grapestompers probable finishes: 8th, 9th or 10th

in 2 of the 4 scenarios BDC plays MTD in consecutive games...that could be interesting.

lol - yes, don't think I haven't noticed that

That could be quite brutal on both teams

Though in the scenario that MTD wins and VKS wins, MTD & CIC are close in points for and could end up swapping positions.

go MTD!!!

go scenario B!

Oh then that's especially painful.

I've yet to find any offer of FP in my inbox to throw this game. What's GLB coming to...?

It's funny how we're duking out to see who gets to get annihilated by Banzai.



Of course we have knocked off the #1 seed (as a #8) two seasons running, but that was AAA.
