after this week, two more teams will be eliminated and playoffs will begin. with three 8-7 teams and two 7-8 teams, i expect some good games.
clearing up the playoff format
since the rules are a little bit vague on this, allow me to clarify it. playoffs will use a standard 1v4/2v3 format. seeds will be determined first by records on a division-by-division basis, then by +/- within a specific division in case of a tie. if +/- cannot successfully break the tie, head-to-head within that division will be used instead.
now for some possible playoff scenarios. you generally see this sort of thing scrolling along the bottom of the screen during week 17 of the nfl season. take these with a grain of salt, i'm just doing them for fun.
playoff update
top5squad is locked into the playoffs. they can clinch the #1 seed in twdt-j in any of the following scenarios:
top5squad can also clinch the #1 seed in twdt-b under the following conditions:
finally, there are only two ways for top5squad to clinch the #1 seed in twdt-d:
to close out this week's updates, only three transactions took place:
drops
ffe removed from burger nipples
acquisitions
mega newbie and tim added to top5squad
good luck to all the teams fighting for a playoff spot, and to top5squad in their quest for the #1 seeds.

playoff update
top5squad is locked into the playoffs. they can clinch the #1 seed in twdt-j in any of the following scenarios:
- they win their twdt-j match and spiral is eliminated.
- top5squad wins their twdt-j match and spiral loses theirs.
- top5squad and spiral's twdt-j matches have identical outcomes, and spiral fails to make up at least 21 points in +/-.
top5squad can also clinch the #1 seed in twdt-b under the following conditions:
- spiral AND buncha freqs get eliminated.
- top5squad win AND spiral loss (buncha freqs loss is implied, as top5squad is playing against them).
- top5squad and spiral have identical match outcomes, and top5squad's margin of victory/defeat is at least 5:21 better than spiral's.
finally, there are only two ways for top5squad to clinch the #1 seed in twdt-d:
- burger nipples gets eliminated.
- top5squad win AND burger nipples loss, with top5squad making up at least 59 points in +/- (essentially this would require two huge blowouts).
to close out this week's updates, only three transactions took place:
