The slate of games for PC-Fecta Derby V includes six head-to-head competitions this month (the first tiebreaker in the race)! In Leg 1, the clubhouse turn, we kick off the season with The Bookie visiting the new filly, Roxy Trot, in Philadelphia. On Sunday Night Football (SNF), Sponge Mom challenges the current Super Trifecta Bowl champion, Atwork. Leg 2, the back stretch, looks to be a brutal run as three games feature head-to-head competitions: The Strategist vs. The Bookie, Little Tuna vs. Atwork, and Jimmy V vs. B-Reezy. In the last of three head-to-head challenges in the first three legs, The Bookie then hosts Big Tuna in Leg 3 (the far turn).

Home teams owned by an Analyst are in bold. The team at the left is the visiting team; the team at the right is the host (playing at home). There are many featured games: two Thursday nights, three Sunday nights, and three Monday night.

In the fourth week, The Strategist’s Home Team has a bye. She will be ineligible for bonus points so she has to enter the closing stretch with a commanding lead in order to win the fifth annual PC-Fecta Derby!

Picks

Remember: Every Analyst has a bias for his or her Home Team and may NOT pick their Claimed team to lose. Analysts do not have to pick his or her Home Team to win, but *bonus* trifecta points are won only if Analysts include the Home Team in a winning trifecta. See the Derby Rules for more.

Email picks in private to The Bookie before each leg (week) of the Race. Thursday games are due by 2pm on Thursdays (flexible per The Bookie’s time in special circumstances). All three Picks are due on Saturday, September 8, at 2pm. No Picks for games after kickoffs are accepted.

WFTL Season V (2018-19) | Home Team Claims

Season V Welcome

WFTL Analysts have come to accept that there are tough loses at the WFTL Racetrack. Just as in life sometimes you just want to shout out “that’s not fair.” A past example was one Analyst that continually week after week complained about the Patriots winning. Yes there are fouls in all sports and in horse racing a grievance can be brought up after the race. So this year we are establishing a complaint box. All Objections (“claims of foul”) will be anonymous, carry no foul language (Orangutan) and will be posted with the weekly picks. Submitting objections to the “Spit Box” may start as soon as the draft begins. You may claim your home team and tell your grievances as soon as your face is no longer red and you can compose your thoughts. Post objections for the “Spit Box” throughout the season.

Season V Racing Form

To welcome our new comers we will have 3 new roast later this season and also we will do an interview of each final race winner.

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.
