Damn, WaitNSee came out of nowhere over the last week. Crazy. Guess that's why he's the 2x defending champ

by my math -- and I'm not being very aggressive here -- just 29 teams have now been eliminated from Round Two. There are 20 teams below #24 with no playoff spots -- and there are an additional 9 teams that wouldn't have quite enough points even if their 1 playoff team wins a championship. I would imagine that other teams have also been mathematically eliminated but that would take further calculations.

That means that the original 96 are now down to the Final 67,

There have been 7 tie-breaker games played so far. Two more need to be played, then I will post the updated standings.

Man, that 67 wins in the 80M stands out like a sore thumb...

Guess I'll just call it a 30 point handicap for everyone else

My lowest win total was 86. That's the second highest "low" total. WaitNSee saw all his teams win 90+ games... which is amazing.

And none reached 100, that probably hasn't happened many times

The standard point formula will be used. Points = Regular season wins + playoff wins + 5 points for making the playoffs + 5 points for each playoff round won.

Is it 1 point per playoff win?

Yes

The leagues that didn't have any tie-breakers have completed round 1. The leagues with one tiebreaking game have just played game 3 of the first round. I will most likely post a standings update after this evening's cycle.

Unbelievably, my teams went 0-4 in round one of the playoffs. After averaging 93 wins per team in the first round, I now have to sweat it out to see if I even make it to round 2. The post season really is a coin toss, especially in the best of 5 game series.

You should be safe with 580-586, disco. Minimum for Round 2 is normally between 555-570. Regardless, that's a crazy result

You have about a 99.8% chance of advancing to round 2. My next update will include MAX points. You are currently ranked 25th in MAX points. So everybody that could pass you would have to win out to knock you out.

I agree with assertion that the playoffs are a coin toss.
