twld 3 way tie - what happens?

[tragiK]

Assuming all goes according to odds, -final-, squad!! and quicksand should be in a 3-way tie for 3rd place in twld with a record of 6-4. Are playoff spots assigned only on w/l and point differential? If it was by squads beating squads, we have an interesting dynamic:

QS beat -f-
-f- beat squad!!
squad!! beat QS

3 squads with only 2 spots - who would advance to playoffs?

I remember last season sk8 took the last spot over heavy due to point differential, even though heavy won the game between the two. so, point differential only? Given the number of forfeits and withdrawn squads, this doesn't sound like such a good idea any more. Locket gave a few 0-50 games and was replaced by Brutal, who did show and put up 40-something against QS. Speed is gone, and still owes squad!! a week 11 rematch.

Thoughts?

hmm my thoughts are that this is one fucking confusing situation

[Asmodeus]

My guess is that they'll go by the points each squad has earned, then the +- difference in deaths and kills. So it'll all work out.

Assuming you newbies win your 2 games, it goes to a mini tourny, but that is unlikely. And then the team with the highest +/- sits out the first round, so when nethila screwed us vs sk8 and you picked up your forfeit vs ancs it ends up allowing you to sit a round and make playoffs i think

- If it's a 3-way head to head tie (IE, A beat B, B beat C, C beat A), a 2-round mini tourny will be held. The squad with a better +/- in the regular season will bypass the first round. The remaining 2 squads will play 1 game. Winner takes on the top +/- squad. Winner of the tourny will advance to playoffs. And if there 2 playoff spot remaining, the runner-up squad will also advance.

there's a possibility of this happening in the other conference too..

with Shinobi, BoZ, united force and possibly Heavy could all draw together for thre last 2 spots

It's in the rules somewhere. I'm not sure what rule exactly, but just skim through the rules and you'll find it.

How Golden described it is what's described in the rules, though.

1 conference for next season ... weeee.

GA i'm pretty sure you need to put quotes around what you said otherwise you're plagarising and that is illegal

[Simple Mistake]

This is quite a sticky situation...

I'm sure mods will find a way to piss off the majority and please the minority some how.

I say we just follow the status quo and tell quicksand to take a hike.

gonna say staff agrees with that probably, even though the rules say otherwise :P

I would like to see a three way mini tourny next week before the all-star game. It'd be exciting.
