Crazy how evenly matched the teams are. A good number of matches have tied, and at about midseason, half the teams have the same number of points. Elekids just need to not throw and they'll make it to the championships, but its anyone's game for those other spots.
zee — Today at 9:03 PM
okay every team's results are in enough to where i can declare a win/tie
[9:03 PM]
so heres your points standings
[9:04 PM]
8 - elekids, politoeds
7 - stoutlands, eiscues
6 - magmas
5 - ohana
4 - luxray
3 - gogoats
so let's get into it! playoffs scenarios. first let's remind everyone what the week 7 pairings will be
Elekids - Should be safe. A win or a tie will lock playoffs. Even if they lose against the Stoutlands and are passed by the Stoutlands and one of the Eiscues or Politoeds, their superior BD should keep them barely afloat.
Politoeds - Similar situation here, a win or a tie will lock playoffs. The only difference is that their BD is lower. Can only be passed if they lose to the Eiscues, the Stoutlands beat the Elekids, and the Magmas beat the Ohana with greater BD.
Disclaimer: atm I don't actually have the BD to tiebreak Eiscues/Stoutlands because of unreported games. Will edit in when these are reported. For now, I'm just going to use 3rd and 4th seed.
3rd seed - Will lock playoffs with a win. If a tie occurs, 4th seed must lose OR the Magmas must lose. If the 4th seed wins AND the Magmas win, they will need a superior BD to the magmas. If the 4th seed wins AND the Magmas win AND the 3rd seed loses, the 3rd seed will be out. Additionally, there is a small chance for the 3rd seed to be passed on BD if they lose badly and the Ohana mop the Magmas.
4th seed - Will lock playoffs with a win. If a tie occurs, the Magmas must lose AND the Ohana must not have a higher BD or the Magmas and Ohana tie but the 4th seed still has a higher BD than the Magmas. If a loss occurs, the Magmas MUST lose and the Ohana MUST have a lower BD to be safe.
Magmas - If the Magmas beat the Ohana, they'll make it to playoffs if one of the Stoutlands or the Eiscues lose. If both other teams win AND the magmas win, it will come down to the BD tiebreaker between the Elekids, Politoeds, and Magmas. A Magmas tie will require one of the Stoutlands or the Eiscues to lose, and will come down to a BD tiebreaker between all teams with 7 points. A Magmas loss will make them automatically ineligible for playoffs
Ohana - Chance they can make the playoffs by beating the Magmas IF the Stoutlands or Eiscues lose and Ohana end up with the better BD. I'll post the requirements to do so once the sheet is updated for this week.
Luxray - Eliminated from playoff contention
Gogoats - Eliminated from playoff contention
