Player Haters Preakness IV Preparations
The Rules for the Player Haters Preakness may be found here: http://www.roi2partners.com/wftl/the-quaternary-crown/player-haters-preakness/.
The major difference is that Trifecta bonus points are awarded for picking against other Analysts’ Home Teams.
Picks for one’s own Home Team remain the second most important tiebreaker.
Changing Home Teams Between Races
After each of the four Races in the regular season, Analysts have the option of releasing their Home Team and selecting a new team to symbolize their horse sense from those teams not currently owned by other Analysts. If more than one Analyst releases their Home Team at the end of a Race, the new selections will go in order of the former teams’ win-loss records, from worst to best, using the official tie-breaking rules for team playoff ranks in the professional football league. In other words, the Analyst with the worst former team selects first, and so forth, to the best former team.
New Home Team Selection Order
According to the rules, the order of selection for new teams is by current playoff seeding, worst to first.
The order of picks will be:
1a. B-Reezy (14th seed NFC)*
1b. The Bookie (14th seed AFC)
3. Wise Orangutan (13th seed NFC)
4. Kal Krome (11th seed NFC)
5. Little Tuna (8th seed NFC)
6a. Big Tuna (6th seed AFC)**
6b. Atwork (6th seed NFC)
8. The Strategist (4th seed NFC)
9. Craft Brew (3rd seed AFC)
* B-Reezy has the lesser conference W-L record.
** Big Tuna has the lesser W-L record.
Let The Bookie know if you are swapping Home Teams by Tuesday night!
