Here's the playoff picture after 12 games.
The number in {brackets} next to each team is their "magic number." ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_%28sports%29 ) Any combination of wins by your team or losses by the team you need to finish ahead of means you clinch a playoff spot.
EASTERN CONFERENCE

14 Hartford Musician 2-10 [ELIMINATED]
15 Baltimore Knights 1-11 [ELIMINATED]
16 Richmond Retros 0-12 [ELIMINATED]
With their latest victory, the Monkeys checked off the next item on their To-Do list: clinch a top-4 finish. And to clinch a top-2 finish, all they need is one
more win.
Louisville got another step closer with their win over Cleveland, and they're now just one win away from clinching a playoff spot, with Hartford still coming up on their schedule.
At the other end, Colonial, Cleveland and Hartford have all been eliminated from the playoff race, and Syracuse and Miami are on the brink.

In the meantime, Minden, Colorado Springs and Bay Area all lost their games and are now eliminated from the playoff race. And Reno and Vallonia are both on the brink of elimination as well.
