Week #20 Results

We sorted out a lot in week #20... it looks like we have our four playoff teams and we're just clearing up the seeds in week #21. But I'm getting ahead of myself...

Jim beat Rick 140-98
... Rick left Sergio riding the pine over the weekend and it spelled doom for his playoff hopes. Maybe next year.
Jeff beat Babe 118-90... Jeff secured his spot in the playoffs with a tight win over Babe, who left Vijay on the bench, sending the PGL Competition Committee into session over possible collusion.
Geo beat Aaron 144-132... Geo made some Sunday moves that pushed him over the top and all but insured him a spot in the post-season.
David beat Hugh 132-112... Too little too late for David. He'll need a lot of help to sneak into the playoffs.

Aaron will either be the #1 or #2 seed in the playoffs. If he and Jeff both win they'll be #1 and #2, respectively. If either/both of them lose it gets really interesting (if either/both Geo and I win).

One request to David, Hugh, Rick and Babe... PLEASE do not mail it in. By coincidence, all of you are playing a playoff contender this week, so you'll have a major impact on the final seeds.

Thanks all and good luck in the final week!

Week #19 Results

It was a disturbing week for me, but Hugh loved the free pass.

Hugh beat Jim 170-0
Jeff beat Geo 182-138
Aaron beat Babe 108-84
David beat Rick 178-68

The race for the four spots in the playoffs will be determined in the last two weeks of the regular season. My goose egg killed my chances at the overall points crown and put me on the bubble for a playoff birth. For the record, I tried to put a team in there on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, but the controls were not there. Sucks.

Aaron's in the driver's seat and David lived to fight another week. On to the Barclay's!

Catching Up - Weeks #17 & #18

Time to catch up again. Two great weeks and a lot of movement in the standings.

Week #17
David beat Jim (156-150)
Jeff beat Aaron (198-176)
Geo beat Babe (182-78)
Rick beat Hugh (172-154)

Week #18
Geo beat Jim (84-76)
Jeff beat Hugh (134-80)
Aaron beat Rick (108-78)
Babe beat David (92-82)

With three weeks to go in the regular season, all four playoff spots are still up for grabs. Some story lines as we head down the stretch:
  • Jeff is starting to catch fire, putting up top scores in each of the past two weeks.
  • Rick continues to defy the odds by putting up week scores, but staying in the hunt.
  • I've lost four in a row (and five of the last six) to fall from the top spot in the standings, but I'm hanging on to the scoring lead.
  • Aaron's in the lead for top seed in the playoff.
  • Babe is mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, but can still take the scoring title with three solid weeks.
  • David and Hugh are still in the hunt for the playoffs, but they need a LOT of help.
  • George is on a tear, winning his last three (and four of the last five), but he looks to have the toughest schedule down the stretch.
Good luck in the last few weeks!
