given that my lone remaining playoff team is matched up against tarheel1991, I'm not exactly filled with confidence

albiband0 mentioning he beat pexetera's 52 win team in the Savage III sign up thread got me to thinking. Here's how I did against each of you:

10-2 (.833) vs jpevans31
12-4 (.750) vs albiband0
15-8 (.652) vs amerk1180
11-6 (.647) vs jcred5
8-5 (.615) vs jhsukow
14-9 (.609) vs ysw128
12-10 (.546) vs dskantor
9-8 (.529) vs ashamael
13-12 (.520) vs pharrop
11-11 (.500) vs gerryred
10-12 (.455) vs robusk
7-9 (.438) vs pexetera
8-11 (.421) vs cmcafeeky
5-7 (.417) vs goetz93
7-10 (.412) vs mptrey
9-15 (.375) vs benhoidal
6-10 (.375) vs longtallbrad
6-11 (.353) vs dh555
6-11 (.353) vs mikee1
5-11 (.313) vs bds9992
4-9 (.308) vs dBKC
3-9 (.250) vs 24kpyrite
4-15 (.211) vs tarheel1991

Maybe my Savage 3 team names should be have a "cupcake" theme....

I believe I should have 12 first round points. One series win and two byes

@bds. the playoffs are 2 points per win, as opposed to the regular season which is 1 point per win. Therefore, the one series win you have is represented by the 8 points under "1st round points so far" For the two first round byes you were given 16 points which is was already added to your end of regular season total and already represented in the 249 points under "points entering 1st round" column. Your new point total entering the 2nd round of 257 is correct. Please double check my math and add your regular season wins and then add 24 points for your 3 teams that made it past the 1st round.

OK, yeah, makes sense. For some reason I was under the impression that playoff wins were still one point and byes were four

11 teams technically with a chance to win it all. 3 realistically.

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but doesn't it just come down to matchups in each world at this point?

I won my first Savage League playoff series!

should be a deciding round. dBKC and mptrey are even going into the 2nd round.
dBKC and dh555 face off 2x in worlds 1 and 2.
mptrey and bds9992 face off 2x in worlds 1 and 2.
ash and pex face off 2x in worlds 1 and 4.

I think so. Even if you have 4 teams in the playoffs, your #4 could be going up against someone else's #1. Our best teams are not all going head to head. It's a minefield.

I think it's hard for someone who gets 5 teams in the playoffs to win a league because the only way you get 5 teams in the playoffs is if you divide your talent, but then it's very difficult to beat someone else's best team who didn't divide their talent as evenly. That's why I voted for the 20 points bonus if you get 5 teams in.

if the points leader gets 5 teams in the playoffs and gets the 20 point bonus, then you would most likely need to win 2 championships to overcome that. and then I would say if you win 2 out of 5 leagues then you should probably be crowned the king anyway.

Thank you tar, agreed

Thanks for keeping it close enough where I can pretend that I have a shot, Pex
