Last note: brianjw is still potentially able to break WaitNSee's bonus points record if he wins at least 3 of the World Series for his remaining 4 teams and comes close with the 4th.

discodemo is looking to cruise past the bonus point record for 4 playoff teams

I think even if I win out (which is very unlikely) I'd get 144 points; 146 is a really high target.

Discodemo is having an amazing postseason.

True that.

My last remaining team responded to this news by committing two errors in the 10th inning of game five, leading to two unearned runs, and a 5-3 loss.

I can't actually find the points breakdown for the bonuses. What does a WS winner get? And is that all that's left?

(I know I'm out, but just curious really. The two teams my sole playoff team knocked off are both safely moving on, I think, so I haven't ruined anyone's tournament either.)

They were posted in the original classified thread. You might need to go to last year search to find it...

* In Round 1, there will be 6 different themes we'll each be involved in. Assuming 96 owners, there will be four leagues for each of the six themes. All twenty-four leagues (4 * 6 = 24) will be started at approximately the same time. Points will be awarded based on wins and playoffs success. 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.

* The top 24 owners in cumulative points from Round 1 (regardless of which leagues they were in) will advance to round 2. In Round 2, there will be another 6 themes (different from the first six themes). The same points formula will be used in round 2. Round 1 results will not be completely ignored in the final score. The weighting will be 33% for Round 1 and 67% for Round 2.... In other words, the cumulative Round 1 score will be divided by 2 and added to the Round 2 score to determine the Best Owner in WIS.

What happens if there is a tie for 24th?

Dueling pistols

From the signup thread:

In case of ties, the tie-breakers will be (1) regular season wins (2) playoff wins (3) best single team overall point total (4) second best single team overall point total, etc.

There is still a long way to go before this becomes a risk...

This is where I get cornered. I could tie a few people with 3 wins, but all had me beat in regular season wins. Need to win it all or go home. The former would be much more preferred.

Don't forget that all 24 owners have to accept round 2. It hasn't happened recently, but it has happened. Somebody in top 24 decides not to play in round 2

Well, that's that. My last team just dropped a 16-inning game after blowing a 9th-inning lead.

So far, I have lost 11 playoff games. 9 of them have been 1-run games.

LOL, three guys can pass me with WS wins. THREE.
