UPDATED Playoff Scenario heading into Week 13

DIVISION WINNERS

EAST - BC Bombers have clinched. They will get a 1st-round bye.

CENTRAL - Napalm Death and CTRU are tied at 9-3, ND has the tiebreaker (better division record). The winner of the division gets a 1st-round bye.

WEST - Razen Kanes have clinched, they have a 1-game lead and tiebreaker over Part Time Pimps (div record). They will be the #3 seed.


WILD CARDS

Both ND and CTRU have clinched a playoff spot, one of them will win the division, the other will be the #4 seed. 9 Fingers have clinched a Wild Card spot. They will be the #5 seed if they win in Week 13. The final playoff spot is between Mud Dogs (6-5-1) and Part Time Pimps (6-6). Mud Dogs just need a win or PTP loss in Week 13 to clinch. Part Time Pimps need both a win AND a Mud Dogs loss to clinch.


KEY GAMES IN WEEK 13

9 Fingers vs. CTRU - a 9 Fingers win clinches the Central for ND. It will also make 9F the #5 seed, and setup a rematch in Week 14 vs. #4 CTRU in the Wild Card Round. CTRU needs to win and have ND lose to win the Central and #1 seed. That will relegate ND to the #4 seed and 9F to either the #5 or #6 seed, depending on Mud Dogs winning.

Napalm Death vs. Ballbusters - ND wins, they're the Central champs and #1 seed. Ship the $175 to Devo. They can still get win the division with a loss and CTRU loss, however, if that happens and BCB wins, ND will slip to the #2 seed.

Part Time Pimps vs. Dragons - PTP needs a win and help, in the form of a Mud Dogs loss. In that case, they will almost assuredly be the #6 seed. (in the event of both PTP and 9F finishing at 7-6, 9F would most likely win the total points tiebreaker - they currently lead by 89 pts).

Mud Dogs vs. Lizard Kings - Lizard Kings spoiled PTP's division chances in Week 12, now they can spoil Mud Dogs' playoff chances. A Mud Dogs loss coupled with a PTP win, means Mud Dogs are out.

BC Bombers vs. Hit Squad - BCB only has the possibility of the #1 seed to play for. A win coupled with CTRU and ND losses will give them the #1 seed and $175.


REMINDER - PAYOUTS for playoff seeds (and potential payees)

#1: $175 (ND, CTRU, or BCB)
#2: $150 (BCB or ND)
#3: $125 (Razen Kanes)
#4: $80 (CTRU or ND)
#5: $70 (9 Fingers or Mud Dogs)
#6: $60 (Mud Dogs, 9 Fingers, or Part Time Pimps)
