Our very own Curtis "Mudgator" Smith is here to give you a review of how the playoff scenario's look before you go out and play the final week of the season. He gives a breakdown of what teams are in or out, and which teams need a BIG win in week 13. With the depth of quality owners in these leagues, it's no wonder that quite a few teams are fighting for spots.
Curtis brings his unique writing style (and spelling, lol) to all of us in this complete breakdown of all 4 leagues.
Week #13 The last game of Inaugural Badlands season, and it's still a playoff scenario Nightmare, So It's only fitting to start with the league that is the biggest pain in the butt first.
Badlands #4
1. 7-5 Las Vegas Viragos has won Division #1 with a 4-1 division record. they cannot be caught.
2. 8-4 Indianapolis Thundering Heard has won Division #2, has a 2 game lead over the rest of the division.
3. 8-4 Burleson Blitzkreig has won Division #3 is 5-0 in division play, cannot be caught.
4. 7-5 Humptulips behind Burelson with a 2-3 division record is the top wild card and has made the playoffs win or lose, due to owning
tie breaker wins over Taipei and Phantom
5. Beach Ballin 6-6 Taipei 6-6 Fort Phantom 6-6 are in a 3-way race for the final 2 spots.....Ballin does have the inside track with a win over Taipei and over a 200 point lead over division opponent
Fort Phantom. If all 3 lose Ballin would be in, or win and in, also owns victory over Humptulips. However lose along with Phantom win, Taipei win, and Ballin would then be eliminated.
...............................The 6th spot and the Mess...........................
6. Fort Phantom 6-6 did not play Taipei currently both are 6-6,
Phantom has (2296) 13 points behind Taipei (2309) so if both lose or win Phantom needs to make up 13 points.
6. Taipei 6-6 has a 13 point lead over 6-6 Phantom, win and keep the 13 point lead and will make the playoffs, If taipei loses will need Phantom to lose and will need to keep the points lead over Phantom.
.............Elimated Teams through head to head losses........................
5-7 Greensboro - out due to being a game and a half back to Phantom and 2 games back in division to Taipei.
5-7 Hell Henchmen - out, game and a half back to Phantom and
2 games back in division to Taipei.
5-7 Y-City out, game and a half back to Phantom and head to head loss v/s Taipei.
Canton out, game and a half back to.....yep you guessed it.
Lost to Phantom.
Davidson lake out 4-8
Well there it is Badlands #4 Mess- and Fort Phantom eliminated 4 teams mathematically with victorys over all 4, but can still lose out to Taipei.
.......................................................................................................
Badlands #3
1. 10-2 Philly Cheesesteaks has made playoffs
2. 9-3 Yorkville terriers has made playoffs
3. 8-4 Houston Dirty Choppers has made playoffs
4. Buffalo Stoners has made playoffs
............................................................
5. 7-5 Milwaukee Crunchy Frogs, Top wild card team, win and in.
But if Milwakee loses and 6-6 Kickapoo wins and Baltimore wins Kickapoo wins Division #3 with best division record (4-1) over Baltimore (2-3). Baltimore does own victory over Milwakee, and all three would be 7-6 eliminating Milwakee.
Milwakee did beat Kickapoo but can't win division #3 because Milwakee is in division #2, again win and in for Milwakee, lose and would need either a Kickapoo loss or a Baltimore loss to make playoffs.
6. 6-6 Kickapoo win and will win division #3, If Kickapoo loses they will need Baltimore to lose as well.
6. 6-6 Baltimore win and needs kickapoo to lose or can make playoff with a win and a Milwakee loss, do to owning tie-breaker over Milwakee.
......................................................................................................
5-7 New York city - eliminated, 2 games back in division to Milwakee and can't win division #3.
5-7 Conway - eliminated, can't win division #3 is (2-3) in division, Kickapoo is a game up and owns divisions best record (4-1).
4-8 Shelton Panthers eliminated.
3-9 Vegas Vices eliminated
1-11 Motor City eliminated
.......................................................................................................
Badlands #2
1. 10-2 Orlando Pirates in playoffs
2. 9-3 Kathmandu in playoffs
3. 8-4 Euraka Rebels in playoffs
4. 8-4 The Woodlands in playoffs
5. 7-5 Parma Burglars in playoffs
.......................................................
3 Teams fighting for the last spot.
6. 6-6 Lincoln City, win and in. lose and will need 5-7 Rome Knights to lose do to head to head loss to the Knights, and will need Queen city to lose.
6. 5-7 Queen City must win and needs Lincoln loss, making division records both (2-4) and (1-1) will have the tie-breaker with points scored over Lincoln, currently leads lincoln by 85 points scored in division. Did not play Rome Nights but does have a 120 point
lead over the Knights so if both Queen City and Knights win with a Lincoln loss Queen City holds the edge.
6. 5-7 Rome Knights must win v/s Butte Badgers and needs Queen City to lose to Kathemandu ....and Lincoln to lose to Orlando Pirates
making Rome 6-7 Queen City 5-8 and Lincoln 6-7, Rome owns the victory over Lincoln in Head to head play.
..................................Eliminated...............................
5-7 Butte Badgers can't beat out Lincoln even if Lincoln loses do to head to head loss to lincoln, therefore can't gain the 6th and final playoff spot.
4-8 Montrose Millionaires
3-9 Ypsilanti Gypsies
2-10 Oxford Outlaws
...................................................................................................................
Badlands #1
1. 10-2 San Diego in the playoffs
2. 10-2 Detroit Beserkers in the playoffs
3. 8-4 Dublin Provisionals in the Playoffs
.................Teams on the Verge..............................................
4.) 7-5 Needles next v/s 8-4 Dublin (same division) leads Dublin by 26 points in division so win against Dublin and will win division, Dublin has already earned playoff berth. Lose to Dublin and Needles will need The 6-6 Swampgators to lose to 10-2 Detroit, do to head to head loss to Swampgators.
5.) 6-6 English Roast win v/s 5-7 South riding sting(same division)
If the Roast loses to sting, Roast can still win division by total overall points scored, Roast currently owns (1-0) record over Sting so a loss would drawl a even record both in the division and head to head and roast has a 99 point lead over Sting, so sting would need to outscore Roast by 99 points to win division.
6.) 6-6 St.Louis Swampgators win and in, lose and needs South riding sting to lose to Roast. and needs to stay 10 points ahead of the Newark Nads if Nads win.
6.) 5-7 South Riding Sting - needs to beat Roast and needs Swampgators to lose, Owns 51 point lead over Nads currently
so if Nads win Sting will need to remain 51 points ahead of Nads.
6.) 5-7 Newark Nads - needs to win and needs sting to lose -or -make up 51 points on Sting if Sting wins, also needs Swampgators to lose.
..........................Eliminated.............................................
4-8 Frostbite Falls
4-8 Michiana Mayhem
4-8 Nashville Two Steppers
3-9 Elephant Butte Roadrunners
......................................................................................
Well there it is week #13 playoff scenarios .......for all of Badlands.
There are many Owners depending on other Teams to put forth the best lineup possible, This is a responsibilty of every owner to do so, if not then it will affect the outcome of playoff berths and not to mention Show a unsportsmanlike attitude towards Badlands and the Whiz.
Also making the Season for some a Farce, So do you part and play it to the end, and what happens in the Games will determine who makes the playoffs, as the Whiz intended.
Good luck to all.......May the matchups workout and may the playoffs be earned.
