Prize Structure
1st: $250     6th: $90     11th: $40
2nd: $200    7th: $80     12th: $40
3rd: $150     8th: $70    13-24: $30
4th: $120     9th: $60     25-26: $10 (consolation)
5th: $100    10th: $50

The team with the best regular season record in each of the six round #1 themes will each receive $15 (ties split).

There is $45 extra in the kitty.  An extra prize will be awarded.  The team or teams in round #1 with the best win% that fails to make the playoffs will win/split this $45.  (tie-breaker games do not count in the calculation of win%)

For me, I guess this would fall under the category of "moot point".

so if one of my teams falls to 13-24, I get $30?  I don't see that being a problem.

I recall last year that thee were a couple of teams that won 91 or 92 games that got "stuck" in a tough division and missed the playoffs. 

Hey Scwarze,   could you post the results from last year's round 1 by chance?   for those of us with no lives and are addicted to numbers

Reminder...

"The team or teams in round #1 with the best win% that fails to make the playoffs will win/split this $45."

There are alot of good candidates for this award...
