Scenarios
The Seeders’ Cup IX
The current Standings are:
The leaders (Wise O. at 29 points) needs 21 points (of the possible 23 points) to stay ahead of all other Analysts. If Wise O. earns a *lame* Trifecta with 7 Seeder bonus points (one Homefield prediction), the target score for a Win is 39 points. Analysts at 17 points or more can beat that score with a perfect Leg 4 Seeders Cup Trifecta (23 points). Analysts below 17 points need the leaders to bust Trifectas in Week 18 in order to steal the Win in the home stretch.
Analyst of the Year IX
For the Win
Bookie can secure the Championship with a Trifecta OR Big Tuna busts a Trifecta + she earns one Correct Pick.
Big Tuna must earn a Trifecta AND Bookie busts a Trifecta.
The Strategist must earn a Trifecta + Bookie earns 0 (zero) Correct Picks + Big Tuna busts a Trifecta – and that only ties Bookie to send the AoY to a playoff!!!
For a Claim to a Home Team in Super Trifecta Bowl IX (or To Avoid Relegation)
Currently, KateTDid and Boo Boo share 12th place at 4 Trifectas and 33 Correct Picks. B-Reezy, Little Tuna, and Atwork cannot surpass either with a Trifecta so theses three Analysts must Win The Seeders’ Cup to retain a avoid Relegation.
If KateTDid and Boo Boo earn Trifectas, the cut for a Claim / Relegation can become has high as 5 Trifectas and 36 Correct Picks. No Analyst at or below Mo Money (5 Trifectas and 36 Correct Picks) is safe. These Analysts face Relegation:
- Mo Money (7th place)
- Sponge Mom (8th place)
- Wise Orangutan (9th place)
- Bug Bug (10th place)
- Craft Brew (11th place)
- KateTDid (12th place, tie)
- Boo Boo (12th place, tie)
- Woody (14th place)
If an Analyst in this list busts a Trifecta and EVERY Analyst below that Analyst earns a Trifecta, that Analyst can finish in 13th place (Relegation).
For instance, Mo Money with 0 Correct Picks in Week 18 could finish in a tie with KateTDid and Boo Boo for 11th place at 5 Trifectas and 36 Correct Picks — one of the three will become the Analyst with No Claim by coin flip.
In addition, if the Analyst that Wins The Seeders’ Cup finishes at 13th place or lower in the AoY rankings, that Analyst avoids Relegation and the Analyst at 12th place in the AoY rankings will face Relegation.
Ergo, every Analyst from 7th to 17th place still has something to play for in either The Seeders’ Cup Win or the Analyst of the Year Standings!
