First & foremost, congratulations to everyone on a great season. Everyone did very well this year & I'm amazed by the level of parity this league has gained. All but 2 teams broke the 2000 point mark & NSab came pretty close as well. Balla... well... um... laughing.gif No worries brother, you'll rebound next season.

As for what this league is really all about you all deserve a HUGE. g-bow.gif We did some really good things this year and made life a little easier for a few who really needed some comfort. You all very much deserve a round of applause. clap.gif

Now a little clarification on seeding.
QUOTE
5.5.1 Seeding
Six teams advance to the post-season. Three teams from each conference: both division winners and 1 wild card.
Teams will first be sorted within their division by the criteria below and the two division winners will always be the top 2 seeds.

1. Overall Winning Percentage
2. Head-To-Head Record
3. Total Overall Points
4. Divisional Winning Percentage
5. Reverse order of Opponent Total Points scored
In the rules it states that the two division winners will always be the top 2 seeds. Since we have 4 divisions that is impossible :mrobvious:. What this rule should actually state is that the top 2 conference winners will always be the top 2 seeds. Everyone else is sorted by the OWP, H2H, etc.

Also, please remember, teams not making the playoffs still need to submit a lineup for the Toilet Bowl runoff.
QUOTE
5.5.4 Toilet Bowl
The Toilet Bowl will be played over weeks 14-16. All teams not making the MSHB playoffs will participate in the toilet bowl pool week 14. A four team bracket will then be drawn for weeks 15 & 16 consisting of the 4 lowest scoring teams from week 14. Losing teams will advance and the team losing week 16 will be crowned Toilet Bowl Champ for the year.

Rajn, I had a 12-6 record and TOS had a 10-8 record so shouldn't I be the #2 seed?

I corrected it to read "the two conference winners will always be the top 2 seeds" which would make TOS the #2 & you the #3 as you were 2nd in your conference. I may be setting this up wrong, but the rule as it reads can not be correct since we have 4 divisions not 2. It should either read as I corrected or "the top two division winners will always be the top 2 seeds. I am blocked from viewing the previous seasons at work without the IP addresses, so give me the day & I'll try to make sure I am doing this correctly.

It looks like this is the way it was 2 years ago so it is right, sorry for the confusion.

No problem at all. When inputting it I realized the problem with the rule as it was written & questioned it myself. Unfortunately I had to make a decision without having everything available to me knowing I might have to go back & correct it if I was wrong. I was going to check myself anyway when I got home tonight so this saves me the trouble. smile.gif

I think some of the confusion is that conferences were assumed......lol. We never named them.

I nominate the following names.......lol. (Supporting the theme of our division names)

The Fried Conference and the BBQ'd Conference sneaky.gif
rajncajn
doh.gif I still screwed it up. It should be Darin vs T_Bone playing each other in the top bracket & Caveman Nick vs Hitman in the other due to being in the same conference. All should be right with the world now. :sigh: Thanks Big John for pointing it out. thmbup.gif
SteelBunz
Wait a sec, Rajn.....aren't we basically following Fusion in this? We want the SB to be the two conference champs?

QUOTE
Week 14 - Wildcard Games: seed 1 receives a bye; seed 2 vs. seed 3 in each Conference.
Week 15 - Semi-Finals: seed 1 vs. remaining team in each conference.
Week 16 - Super Bowl: week 15 winners and Consolation: week 15 losers


So shouldn't Darin and T-Bone be playing one match, and Hitman and Nick the other?
That way you don't even need to seed #1 thru #6......just #1 thru #3 in each conference?

shrug.gif

Honestly...since we have DHs so that we play everyone once and our divisionmates twice, maybe we shouldn't have conferences at all. Put the emphasis on winning the division and the wildcards could be any two teams that win the tiebreakers after division winners are determined.....ie. OWP, H2H, total points.

Something to discuss offseason maybe......didn't mean to make it harder now. I'll shut up. ninja.gif

Thank you very much. And a great deal of thanks to Big John from me as well for being the man behind the curtain. Without you, there's no way I could handle any of this. clap.gif
