The Entrants
The Analysts have submitted their papers and claimed their Home Teams to start the Crown Race. The Claim Box for The Seeders’ Cup IX is:
Slate of Games
The Seeders’ Cup is a four Leg competition!
The Slate of Games for The Seeders Cup IX includes seventeen head-to-head competitions — six in Leg 1, three in Leg 2, four in Leg 3 and four in Leg 4! Head-to-head competitions limit options since Analysts may not Pick against their own Home Teams!
Seeders’ Cup *bonus* points can be earned from both Home Teams and un-Claimed Teams if Picked during a week a playoff seeding is clinched:
- Playoff berth = 1 point
- Division title = 3 points
- First-round bye = 7 points
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 several featured games: three Thursday games (TNF), two Sunday night (SNF), and three Monday nights (MNF). Flex scheduling may change prime time line-ups. In addition, most Week 16 games are played on Saturday, Dec. 24, and all Week 18 games are TBD for start times.
