2008 Tour Top 75 - Final

the official tournament of SOM Baseball 20xx

Postby bigmahon » Sun Dec 21, 2008 2:49 am

Hi everyone,

I will be offline for the next week or so due to the holidays, but will be tracking progress and final seedings from my mobile phone. Probably won't be able to enter a team until 29th December though. I hope this doesn't create too much of a problem.

Mequiton - you should add wwwetz to the list that could still make the Semi's. They could finish with 90.2 if they win the Championship in League 6.

Right you are, thanks [b:25de794a04]dadnsam.[/b:25de794a04] Sorry for the oversight [b:25de794a04]wwwetz.[/b:25de794a04] Now added to the list above. Still gonna say only 3 of the current Top 36 are in any danger, as it's almost impossible for all 4 of the other "contenders" to make the cut.

Funny/Ironic/Heartbreaking

Postby TomSiebert » Mon Dec 22, 2008 8:50 pm

Wow, I"m on the bubble of all bubbles at 36. It'd be pretty funny after I mentally bought out following my brainf@rt in the all-NL league, then got back involved following the infinite mercies of the Powers That Be, to miss this by one spot, or one point even, chalked up to the three forfeits I was (rightfully) penalized.

At this point, I really want to make the finals. Which means, of course, in the Zen rule of things, I probably won't. Let me work on my not caring, which might give me a better chance of making it. Or not. Whatever.

Happy Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanza/Festivus/Winter Solstice to All! [ and to all, a good night!]

Ballpark Penalties

Postby mesquiton » Sun Dec 28, 2008 4:16 am

Updated with all leagues complete, except [url=http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/stratomatic/playoffs/scores.html?group_id=54280][b:d06145c6e2]playoffs[/b:d06145c6e2][/url] in [url=http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/stratomatic/league/standings.html?group_id=54280][b:d06145c6e2]Ev6Lg7.[/b:d06145c6e2][/url]

I was told some managers had used the same ballpark twice, so I checked all the parks (see below) for the top 36+. It appears that the following managers have indeed used duplicate ballparks, for a 25-point penalty per the Tour ballpark rules:

[b:d06145c6e2]socalchiro[/b:d06145c6e2] (Citizens in Ev2, 6)
[b:d06145c6e2]salmonbellies[/b:d06145c6e2] (PNC in Ev1, 2)
[b:d06145c6e2]nhsteven[/b:d06145c6e2] (PNC in Ev1, 4)
[b:d06145c6e2]TomSiebert[/b:d06145c6e2] (Citizens in Ev1, 2)
[b:d06145c6e2]Red Beards[/b:d06145c6e2] (RFK in Ev4, 5)

Subject to review by the Commish, here's how it looks:

[b:d06145c6e2]Socalchiro[/b:d06145c6e2] and [b:d06145c6e2]salmonbellies[/b:d06145c6e2] drop the penalties as part of their low scores, so their standings are unaffected. [b:d06145c6e2]TomSiebert[/b:d06145c6e2] and [b:d06145c6e2]Red Beards[/b:d06145c6e2] drop in the standings, but had already missed the Semifinals. The penalty drops [b:d06145c6e2]nhsteven[/b:d06145c6e2] out of the Top 36.

That leaves [b:d06145c6e2]mfsleeze[/b:d06145c6e2] in 36th place, with only [b:d06145c6e2]barnak[/b:d06145c6e2] able to catch him. [b:d06145c6e2]Barnak[/b:d06145c6e2] is in the semifinals of the last league, must win the finals to bump [b:d06145c6e2]mfsleeze.[/b:d06145c6e2]

The other 35 Semifinalists look set. [b:d06145c6e2]UNCtarheel[/b:d06145c6e2] and [b:d06145c6e2]ajbke5[/b:d06145c6e2] are also in the last league playoffs, so final seeding won't be known until their playoffs are decided next week.

ajbke5 and I were both eliminated from our Event6 playoffs last night. Unless I am mistaken, that means that we should now know all of the seeds with the exception of #36 which will be either Barnak or mfsleeze.

Thanks for the ongoing updates, mesquiton! And for catching the duplicate ballparks penalties. Glad to see that they only affected one person, because I am sure they were not done intentionally. But nonetheless, the rules is the rules. I am going to post the semifinals league assignments in a bit.
