Week 21 & Final Real Rankings



NOTES

The playoffs have started! Reminder that ALL teams are limited to 3 pickups per week. This resets on Sundays at midnight throughout the playoffs.

Congratulations to Kyle Baker on his regular season championship! He will take home 25% of the pot and Chad will get $100 for coming in second place. Congratulations also to Brian for sneaking into the playoffs despite being an active seller at the deadline and deflecting a strong push from Watson to hold him back.

Though he did not make the playoffs, Dagan will have the first pick in next years draft, which isn't a bad consolation prize. Jed and Dave tied for the worst record, so I guess we'll split the difference for the worst record penalty.

For those who didn't make the playoffs, thanks for another great season. Open trading will begin immediately after the championship. Keep in mind we need at least one new owner, so get the word out if you know of anyone who would be a strong addition.

Going into the playoffs, Chad and the Chops are easily the hottest team, averaging 4.2 RR the past four weeks. The upstart Moose, One Nut, Pirates, and Napalm are all lumped into a group in the 5.45-5.65 range. Meanwhile, KOG and Thor are above 7 and the plummeting Montezuma’s Revenge (8.2) are 10th in RR over the past four weeks and going against the hot chops. But this is the playoffs and all it takes is a good week and a couple hot players to push teams to the championship.  Could the hottest team lost to the coldest team?  Could Moose’s Cinderella story continue with an upset over the regular season champ? Can Jason make a run at his 4th championship in 7 years – and unprecedented 5th total? Who will win the battle between the struggling KOG/Thor battle? It will be an exciting week!
