GC winners (for having the best team in each league):

• 70M: discodemo
• 90M: skunk206
• 110M: DoctorKz
• 120M: justinlee_24 (best team in the tournament -- slightly falls short of best Round 1 team of all time)
• 130M: brianjw
• Variable Cap: discodemo

midknight (currently in 64th) still has a shot to make Round 2.
marinerrott (currently in 45th) is the highest owner to be mathematically eliminated.

As crazy as this sounds, technically no one has clinched a spot in Round 2 yet. More than 24 people have the chance to end up with more points with NebHusker currently has

• 130M: brianjw
• Variable Cap: discodemo

The only teams ever as good as justinlee_24's 120M team:

1. mildnhazy in 2008 (121 wins in a high cap league)
2. newarkwilder in 2006 (120 wins in a low cap league)
3. shaybee in 2005 (119 wins in a mid cap league)

Arrrgghhhhh. I predicted this. Dammit.

8/19/19: "Predicting another 25th place or so finish. With luck, I make the Cage, otherwise.... "

Question about play-in games:

My 130mm team gave up 3 in the 9th to blow a 4-2 lead and therefore finish in a tie for first with moses_k.

I believe in previous years, play-in wins counted toward overall total. How about this year?

To rephrase - since I am now incurring the forum jinx, will moses_k add 1 to his win total after our play-in game tomorrow?

Congrats to Nebhusker for winning the regular season wire to wire. With 100 or more wins in 3 different leagues, a brilliant performance no matter what happens in the playoffs or the 2nd round. Special kudos also to DoctorKz, tigerrott, redcped, daddyzander and jtpsops, among others, for hugely overperforming expectations and seedings. GL to all in the playoffs.

But this isn't quite right. While more than 24 people may have a chance to end up with more points than Nebhusker, the question is whether it is possible for 24 owners to have more points than Nebhusker.

There are only 24 total titles worth 10 points. Since the owners at the bottom would need multiple of these in order to pass Nebhusker, I think it is 100% fact that he has clinched a playoff spot.

Good point -- I don't have a way to validate that but you're probably right

I have to admit. . . . if I can get through the entire season with a .594 win %, be 44 games ahead of the #24 team, and have all 6 of my teams in the playoffs, and STILL not have a round 2 spot clinched then I guess I just don't understand the numbers.

1 point for each playoff win plus 10 points for a World Series win. Total 11 wins and a World Series win this is worth 21 points for each team that wins a World Series.

I think justinlee is correct. While it's possible for 24 owners to pass Neb, it's not possible for ALL of them to pass him, given a lot will be fighting for the same playoff points.

What is the Points Back column for? It doesn't seem to reflect points back of the leader.
