WFTL Season V Preparations
The General Rules for the World Football Trifecta League have been updated. The PC-Fecta Derby kicks off the new season. Also review the rules for the PC-Fecta Derby here.
To start the new season, The Bookie needs to know which returning Analysts are keeping their end-of-year horse and which are seeking to trade-up ponies. At the end of the regular season, the returning Analysts had these steeds:
Kal Krome – Seahawks
Atwork – Eagles
The Bookie – Rams
Little Tuna – Patriots
Wise Orangutan – Ravens
B-Reezy – Chiefs
Big Tuna – Saints
Craft Brew – Steelers
The Strategist – Panthers
The starters rarely play in the fourth game of preseason, so here are the key dates to start the new season:
After Preseason Week 1 (August 11) – Let The Bookie know yes / no to establishing a purse for Super Trifecta Bowl V.
After Preseason Week 2 (August 20) – Announce if you are releasing your current team.
After Preseason Week 3 (August 26) – Select a new team.
After Preseason Week 4 (September 30) – Send the Bookie your share of the Purse for the year.
For Analysts who relinquish teams, new teams will be selected in reverse order of last year’s season standings. New Analyst(s) will pick before returning Analysts as determined by coin flip:
1) New Analysts (order determined by coin flip if necessary)
2) Kal Krome (4 Trifectas, 30 correct picks)
3) Atwork (5 Trifectas, 32 Correct Picks)
4) The Bookie (6 Trifectas, 34 Correct Picks)
5) Little Tuna (6 Trifectas, 36 correct picks
6) Wise Orangutan (7 Trifectas, 32 correct picks)
7) B-Reezy (7 Trifectas, 37 Correct Picks)
8t) Craft Brew (7 Trifectas, 38 Correct Picks) – coin flip if necessary
8t) Big Tuna (7 Trifectas, 38 Correct Picks) – coin flip if necessary
10) The Strategist (9 Trifectas, 39 Correct Picks)
Improved Rules
A) The Purse for all races will be split between the first and second place Analysts at approximately 2:1 ratio.
B) Only eight of twelve playoff teams competing for the World Football Championship may be owned at the start of the Super Trifecta Bowl. The top eight Analysts from the regulars season will have a right to ownership in this order: 1) Analyst of the Year, 2) Seeder’s Cup Winner, 3) Fibonacci Stakes Winner, 4) Player Haters Winner, 5) PC-Fecta Derby Winner, 6) Place in the Analyst of the Year, 7) Show in the Analyst of the Year, and 8) from 4th-8th position in the Analyst of the Year until eight teams are owned by Analysts. Analysts who finish out of the top eight positions will not own a team during the Super Trifecta Bowl.
