The Playoff scenarios
So, to answer the Kittens' plaintive question fully, here are the scenarios, assuming total points as the first tiebreaker.
1). Rolling Rocks - locked up playoffs, 1st round bye
2). OBSR - locked up playoffs, 1st round bye
3). Joe - he's in. At worst he's 8-6 and there are at most 3 other teams who can finish 8-6.
4-6).
Ron/Sei - both at 7-6, the winner is in. Ron has good tiebreaks (record against other 7-6 teams and total points), Sei has shitty tiebreaks, so Ron has a reasonable chance at making it even if he loses, as long as Christine or Kanako loses. If Sei loses he will likely be SOL.
Kanako - beat up on the Kittens, and she's in.
Christine - beat up on the cellar dwelling Kevins, and she's in.
Bill - alive. Needs to win and hope for a loss from either Kan or Christine. Has good total points and pretty good head to head, so he has a chance.
Pete, Chimpy, Sluts, Kevin. Mathematically eliminated.
I think we need to officially decide on a tiebreak system before these games happen. Total points? Head to head w/total point thereafter?

here are the tie-break rules.
1. if you are tied within your division, head to head decides seed within your division. if you are 1-1 in head to head it then becomes total points.
2. inter-division tie breaker is decided by total points.
i need to make it easy, and this is as easy as it gets. unless there are any objections, this is the way it shall be.
We are going to have a CCS (Chump Champion Series) also, correct?
Although this is contrary to my personal interests, it seems that if head to head is going to count among division rivals, it should also trump points for interdivision, since everyone played everyone else at least once.
the problem with head to head inter-division is the following:
say there are four teams all 8-6. 3 teams after the tie-breaker is determined in one of the divisions. who trumps who in this scenario:
team 1 beat team 2 in their regular season game
team 2 beat team 3 in their regular season game
team 3 beat team 1 in their regular season game
i don't want to count multiple head to heads, so i'd rather use points when it's inter-division.
that's my ruling for this season. sorry if you don't agree - but i'm comfy with this. we can have a clearer format for next season - but this year i have gotten precious little help from the "other" commish!
Sounds fine. I think the numerous teams scenario is unlikely, but total points help me, so I'm fine w/that.
