Rules Revision for 2020-21 Claims Order <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a new Rule, we required all Analysts to release Claims from the prior season and select new Claims in order of their Analyst of the Year finish from the prior season. The Claims Order (with Wins<\/strong> noted) was:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Little Tuna<\/strong> (Player Haters Preakness)<\/li>
  2. KateTDid<\/em><\/li>
  3. Wise Orangutan<\/em><\/strong> (Analyst of the Year)<\/li>
  4. The Strategist<\/em><\/li>
  5. Woody<\/em><\/strong> (The Seeders’ Cup)<\/li>
  6. Big Tuna<\/strong> (Super Trifecta Bowl)<\/li>
  7. The Bookie<\/li>
  8. Sponge Mom<\/li>
  9. Roxy Trot<\/li>
  10. B-Reezy<\/li>
  11. Craft Brew<\/em><\/strong> (Fibonacci Stakes)<\/li>
  12. Jimmy V<\/li>
  13. Atwork<\/strong> (PC-Fecta Derby)<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The Analysts in italics<\/em> Placed in at least one Crown Race or Trophy Race this year (three Analysts both Placed and Won). Overall, 8 of 13 Analysts collected Purse this year, including the first 6 in Claims Order. The new Rules for Claims Order seemed to have the desired outcome. Analysts with the fewest Trifectas last year had better showings (Purse-wise) this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We propose to incorporate this Rule or a variant of this Rule to start every season, in perpetuity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Analyst with No Claim<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The Analyst(s) with No Claim was introduced in Season V. In Season VI, the Super Trifecta Ex-Claimation! points were added to give the Analyst with No Claim an additional method to earn Super Trifecta Points (equivalent to Playoff Victory points). In Season VII, the Rules were revised to allow Claims for 12 of 14 postseason teams. In the past two seasons, two Analysts with No Claim have taken home Purse since the introduction of new Rules. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We have no plans to change this Rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Preliminary 2021-22 Rules Review <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The one additional Analyst-initiated change to the Rules occurred in the Super Trifecta Bowl. We could add +3\/+3 bonuses for the best offense\/defense score predictions for Correct Picks in the TGWSNBN. If we had adopted this Rule in Season VII, it would have given the finalists an additional method to score points whether or not they had a Claim to a Home Team in TGWSNBN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We will open Season VIII with a discussion of the merits of adding an additional *bonus* point system that will make the outcome of the Super Trifecta Bowl more volatile during the final game of the postseason.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t
