WFTL Season VI Preparations
The General Rules for the World Football Trifecta League have been updated to include a random drawing for Claims Order to start every third season. To start the sixth season, all returning Analysts must relinquish their Home Teams.
The Order of Claims will be determined by a random number generation. All eleven Analysts from Season V are returning. Two new sports fillies have joined for Season VI for a total of 13 Analysts. Each Analyst has been assigned a Claims lottery number per the Final Results for the Analyst of the Year in Season V (returning Analysts) or in order of entry forms received (new Analysts):
- The Strategist
- Craft Brew
- Big Tuna
- Roxy Trot
- Jimmy V*
- B-Reezy*
- Wise Orangutan
- Little Tuna
- Sponge Mom
- The Bookie
- Atwork
- Woody
- KateTDid
*Jimmy V and B-Reezy ended the year in a tie for fifth place. JimmyV has been awarded #5 by virtue of the better performance in the Super Trifecta Bowl. B-Reezy has been assigned #6.
Key Dates for Season VI:
After Preseason Week 1 (August 14) – New rules review and adoption.
After Preseason Week 2 (August 21) – Claims order determined.
After Preseason Week 3 (August 28) – Select Home Teams.
After Preseason Week 4 (September 4) – Send The Bookie your share of the Purse for the year.
Improved Season VI Rules
1) Every three years (3rd season, 6th season, etc., forward), all Analysts must release their Home Teams and The Clearinghouse will conduct a lottery to determine the order of Claims for Home Teams for the upcoming season.
2) In a single Leg of a Quaternary Crown Race, three Correct Picks will be a “base Trifecta” worth 6 points, while two Correct Picks (out of three) will be a “lame Trifecta” worth 3 points. “Bonus Trifecta” points for base and lame Trifectas will be awarded per Track Rules of the Crown Races.
3) Analysts are required to have a Snapchat account name on record with The Bookie.
