Week 8 - 6/5/11 Last Week of the Regular Season & Playoff Scenarios
The last day of the regular season is this Sunday, and it's been a competitive and fun season, but now it's time to get serious. The WNBA and Ponzi Schemers have officially been eliminated from playoff contention, but will be playing for each other and more importantly, for self respect. Additionally, the Hangovers are locked into the 4th seed, so they'll face the number 1 seed.
There are a number of scenarios that can potentially occur in terms of the 1-3 seeds. Here are a few:
Scenario 1
Real Ready beats WNBA and Wen Bo beats Houlihan L.
Playoff Matchups:
(1) Wen Bo vs (4) Hangovers
(2) Real Ready vs (3) Houlihan L.
Scenario 2
Real Ready loses to WNBA and Wen Bo beats Houlihan L.
Playoff Matchups:
(1) Wen Bo vs (4) Hangovers
(2) Houlihan L. vs (3) Real Ready
Scenario 3
Real Ready loses to WNBA and Wen Bo loses to Houlihan L. by greater than 20 points.
Playoff Matchups:
(1) Houlihan L. vs (4) Hangovers
(2) Wen Bo vs (3) Real Ready
Scenario 4
Real Ready loses to WNBA and Wen Bo loses to Houlihan L. by less than or equal to 20 points.
Playoff Matchups:
(1) Wen Bo vs (4) Hangovers
(2) Houlihan L. vs (3) Real Ready
Scenario 5
Real Ready beats WNBA and Wen Bo loses to Houlihan L. by greater than 20 points.
Playoff Matchups:
(1) Houlihan L. vs (4) Hangovers
(2) Real Ready vs (3) Wen Bo
Scenario 12 (where it gets complicated)
Real Ready beats WNBA and Houlihan L. beats Wen Bo by less than or equal to 20 points
Each team will be tied with a record of 6-2 and each team will win and lose one tiebreaker against the other two teams; therefore, no clear seeding can occur. If this happens, the following will take place at the conclusion of the 2PM matchup between Wen Bo and Houlihan L.:
-
A six-sided die will be provided
-
Each of the three teams will be assigned two numbers: Wen Bo 1 & 2, Real Ready 3 & 4, Houlihan L. 5 & 6.
-
The die will be rolled once.
-
Whichever team's number is displayed will be the number 1 seed and face the number 4 seed the Hangovers.
-
The two losing teams will face each other as the 2 and 3 seeds.
