2008 Tour Top 75 - Final

[mesquiton]

Standings updated with all but one Event 5 league regular seasons complete and in playoffs. Gave TomSiebert 82 pts and Dalinoth 78 for Ev5 Lg6...please post if incorrect, thanks.

[TomSiebert]

It is my understanding that I would earn 85 points from the League 5 standings. The three game series my team forfeited to Dalinoth/Mudcats were reversed in the league itself, turning my 88 win season into an 85 win season. 82 points would penalize me twice for the forfeit.

Certainly if that is what the Commissioner decrees, I will of course stand by the ruling without a peep of complaint. But I do not believe that to be the case.

Thank you.

No prob, thanks for the info TS, will add 3 back to your score and subtract from Dalinoth. (I made the adjustment after checking your "Team Schedule and Results" which still shows you winning the 3 games...looks like the change shows up in your standings but not the results page.)

Standings updated with corrected Ev5Lg6 scores for TomSiebert and Dalinoth.

[rgimbel]

my score from event 5 should be 101 not 91
thanks

rgimbel: Thanks for noting the error...actually, I had you at 96 (not 91)...but mistakenly gave your 5 finals points to bbasebrawl instead of you. Apologies to both. Added 5 to your score, deducted 5 from bbasebrawl, both should now be correct.

Tom Siebert is correct. He was already penalized the three victories.

Thanks Tee, we've got it right then.

Standings updated with league champions (the first tie-breaker) indicated. Very possible I've missed somebody, please post, will fix, thanks.

With 36 semifinalists, it's likely we'll have a number of ties to break for seeding. Here's what the rules say about tie-breakers:
[quote:2ab65228c8][b:2ab65228c8]Tiebreakers[/b:2ab65228c8]
1. Championships won
2. Finals made
3. Playoffs made
4. Regular season total wins
5. No. of events played
6. Pick 3 winner [/quote:2ab65228c8]

It appears only 5 managers have won 2 league championships on this year's Tour, and none have yet won more.

The 2-time winners to date: [b:a8fe052e32]weinberg, bbasebrawl, rgimbel, socalchiro[/b:a8fe052e32] and [b:a8fe052e32]leehaak.[/b:a8fe052e32]

As best I recall, past years had more multiple winners, including at least a couple of 3-time champs, and maybe even a 4-timer or two. We also played up to 7 events. Most current managers have at least one event to finish, with 9 more champs to go around.

Still looks to me like the cutoff for the semifinals will be around 90, but after final events and dropped low scores are tallied, there could be a lot of shuffling in, out and among the Top 36.

Quite a number of managers could still jump 20 or 30 rungs in the standings with a big score in their final event(s).

Biggest score this year to date: [b:a8fe052e32]119 pts,[/b:a8fe052e32] by [b:a8fe052e32]spicki17[/b:a8fe052e32] in Event 3 and [b:a8fe052e32]luckeroll[/b:a8fe052e32] in Event 5.
