The Playoffs (Matchups, Format, etc.)

[Fishercat]

I think I have everything right in standings, check ins, and so on.

OK, The Top 8 players get into the playoffs. ALSO, Buckfoston (#9) gets in, because he bought an item that I put up a while ago from Browntown. It allowed you to get in if you were in the Top 12 in points. He was.

So, the first round will be THREE GROUPS OF THREE. Winner of the group gets through to Round 2, and the highest score of the losing bettors also gets through. Each group is allowed to bet on ONE series and the COMMUNITY SERIES (PHI/COL).

(Overall Seed) (Player) (S3F Cash in this round)

Group One (Series: NYY/CLE, PHI/COL)
(1) Hammer (2000)
(5) Witlon (1500)
(9) Buckfoston (1000)

Group Two (Series: BOS/LAA, PHI/COL)
(2) Providence A's (1875)
(6) Missionhockey21 (1375)
(7) Porter99 (1250)

Group Three (Series: ARZ/CHC, PHI/COL)
(3) Dry1313 (1750)
(4) Browntown (1625)
(8) MNTwinsfan (1125)

(I will edit your available cash to reflect this).

Winners go to next round and the highest losing score does too. You MUST make at least one bet of over 50 S3F cash in this round to not be eliminated.

I will make a topic for each of tomorrow's games and edit your cash, hopefully before I have to leave for the night at 7.

OK, this is giving me some issues with getting to use options to alter cash. I did it for Hammer/Witlon/Buckfoston, but I think that's it.

I'll put up the bets, but please follow the numbers put in this topic so there isn't a mess.

[Dry1313]

So, can you give us a few advancees?

[Fishercat]

Uh, I already paid out all of the open bets that have finished, including Game Ones

[Dry1313]

I meant that since two series are over, can you give us the people who are moving on.

I didn't mean like bet advances.

[Fishercat]

Oh...I'll calculate that all up when it's over.

But you should be able to figure it out for those who were betting on ARZ/CHC and BOS/LAA soon

[Fishercat]

OK, I have updated standings. The bottom two divisions are set and DRY AND PROV are moving on. MISSION is currently in line for the wild card spot, but that is not definite. Hammer looks to have a hold over his division spot, but that is not certain...but the other two would have to win a high odds bet with a lot on the line to catch up.

The playoffs are settled and details will be in a new topic.
