Playoff Update: Playoff scenarios: Plugged Nickle: Clinched regular season division championship & #1 playoff seed. Union Station: Clinched playoff spot, will be #2 seed w/ win over metz or a Team X loss. Union Station loss to Metz and a Team X win and Club 20 loss and Union becomes #3 seed. USVC loss and both Team X and Club 20 win: Union Station #4 seed. Club 20: Clinched playoff spot and gets #3 seed with win over Energy. Loss to Energy and Club 20 gets the #4 seed. (No scenario puts Club 20 in #2 seed.) Team X: Clinched playoff spot and at least a #4 seed. Can jump into #2 spot with a win and Union Station loss. Legacy: Controls own destiny: Can clinch a playoff spot with a win or tie. A loss by Legacy would require some help: Either a loss by Energy or Blondies is best. If Slammers defeats N.O.G. and Energy and Blondies each win, there will be a tie for the last playoff spot between Legacy and Slammers. These teams tied during the season, so the tiebreaker will be a coin flip. Eagle: Controls own destiny: Can clinch a playoff spot and #5 seed with a win over Legacy. A loss or tie would require a loss from Energy, Blondies, or None Other Goldsmiths. Energy: Controls own destiny: #6 seed w/ victory over Club 20. Still makes playoffs with a loss Blondies loss to Plugged Nickle. Blondies: Needs to defeat undefeated Plugged Nickle. Out with loss. None Other Goldsmiths: Makes playoffs with a win over Slammers/Club 202. Out with loss. Slammers/Club 202: Needs to first defeat N.O.G. for an opportunity to get in the playoffs. Out with a loss. After defeating N.O.G., all Slammers needs is a Plugged Nickle victory over Blondies to get in. Buggaboo: Hmm. A win over Team X and losses by Eagle, Energy, Blondies, and None Other Goldsmiths gives 4 teams a 4-7 record and thus a 4-way tie for the last two playoff spots. Tiebreaker rules would apply -- scores from Sunday's games will be necessary to determine the final standings. It is unlikely that Buggaboo will make the playoffs under any scenario (largely in part due to 2 forfeits. These forfeits give Buggaboo a -14 beginning spot for total runs scored differential, the second tiebreaker.) Metz: Out. Come down and follow the playoffs, and hope to see you back next year! |
