Week 14 Summary - Thy Playoff Lot Is Cast

Week 14. And there it is. I look forward to the opening of the floodgate for excuses and "explanations" by those that missed the playoffs. But for the rest of us, there is the wonderful consolation bracket. Don't give up because the competition continues for all.

Average score dropped slightly to 94.6 pts this week, from last week's 98.3 pts. The average margin of grew to a healthy 31.8 pts from last week's 17 pts as scoring resumed and the matches simply weren't all that close.

Lance Richter continued his giant slaying ways as he toppled yet another contender this week by taking down the 3-headed monster and not even calling them the next day.

The top 3 all won and further solidified their grasps on playoff spots while the 4th spot was fought for by Alls, Gregor, and Lance. Gregor got there by winning. Sadly, Lance's Hanukkah wish for the playoffs was scuttled by the blue-eyed devil.

And finally, as I so rarely use this space to share personal stories, I thought I'd take this chance to share my pride in finishing ahead of Ashby this season. I understand that this was a goal shared by many in the league, but only achieved by 7 teams. To those that finished behind him in the standings, fear not as one of you will have a shot at him in the consolation round and the rest can revive this nobel goal next season.


Performer of The Week:

Gregor Davidson, 130.7 pts. I'll say it: I hate the new guy.

Honourable Mentions this week to Devo (126.6 pts and putting Kevin in his place) and Madge (122 pts and not the fade I predicted/hoped for).


Senorita Of The Week:

Mike D. 49.8 pts. Thanks for helping me get to .500 and finishing ahead of Ashby. I'm gonna send you something nice for Christmas - did you want the Italian flag or a leg of prosciutto?


10-4 Club:


Madge + Devo + Hauser = The weirdest 3-way ever.



State of the League:

Well, it came down to the wire and the top half of the league was separated by just 2 games. I think it is safe to say that the Head to Head format is a success. It kept people interested as the personal aspect of it really upped the trash talk too.

Here come the playoffs and consolation bracket. The fun continues.

Congratulations to the top 4. Happy Playoffs.
