Warrior General Games

Here's what I'm seeing right now as far as final standings:

1) CCCC - 14-2
2) NMR - 13-3
3-5) Atlanta - 12-4
3-5) Indy - 12-4
3-5) OFG - 12-4
6) Alpine - 11-5
7) South Otto - 8-8
8) Steel - 8-8

For the most part these spots are locked up (barring a big upset somewhere.) Atlanta could lock up the 2 seed by beating CCCC, and Alpine could sneak into the 12-4 pack if we beat NMR. Either way we're looking at four 12-4 teams at the end of the season. Someone remind me what the tiebreaker rules are.

The GLB Wiki says the tiebreaker rules are as follows:

1. Number of head-to-head wins against the other tied teams with the same record.
2. Number of total points scored.
3. Number of total points allowed.

Anybody know if this is correct?

Yes this is right.

CCCC - 2 or 3 losses
Penguins - 3 or 4 losses (CCCC)
Rats - 3 or 4 losses (Golfers)
Golfers - 4 or 5 losses (Rats)
Gurupies - 4 losses
***O*** - 4 losses

Scenario 1 - CCCC and Rats Win
CCCC gets the one seed. Rats get the 2 seed. Gurupies, ***O*** and Penguins sit next. Penguins win the tiebreaker by beating both, then ***O*** beat Gurupies.
CCCC
Rats
Penguins
****O****
Gurupies
Golfers

Scenario 2 - CCCC and Golfers Win
CCCC gets the one seed. 5 teams sit with 4 losses. Penguins are 3-1 and get the second seed. Rats, Golfers, ***O*** are 2-2, Gurupies are 1-3. After the Penguins move out of the group I am not sure of the procedure. Evaluate head to head with the remaining 4 teams I assume?

Scenario 3 - Penguins and Rats Win
Penguins, CCCC and Rats are 1-3. Then ***O***, Gurupies and Golfers which I think comes down to points scored.

Scenario 4 - Pengions and Golfers Win
Penguins and CCCC are first two. 4 way tie after that. Golfers first, then once again it depends on how to re-evaluate once one team moves out of the group.

Mole Rats vs Golfers in yet another crucial game? (and perhaps the last match-up ever)

Out of curiosity, how many players do y'all still have from when we first played? A total of 22 of our current 55 played in the very first Alpine Golfers vs Naked Mole-Rats game. Considering we first played in S2, I think that's a damn impressive number.

By my count we have 8 guys on the roster that played in our first meeting in season 2:

We have had some epic games over the seasons. I'm a bit sad that this will be last matchup in which those season 2 guys play any significant role (a few may be mentors next year). /tear

This is the part I am unsure about as well. I assume Penguins (3-1) would be 2nd seed and Gurupies (1-3) 6th seed. Rats Golfers and ***O*** (all 2-2) then decided by points scored? Or would the Golfers be given the 3 seed by virtue of going 2-0 vs NMR and ***O****?

IIRC h2h is just treated as record when it's 3 or more teams. Aka don't take the h2h of the teams with the same h2h record.

So are you saying that all the 12-4 teams would just be ranked by points scored?

it depends - if one team went 2-0, another went 1-1, and one went 0-2 against each other then the seedings would be ordered as such. If they all went 1-1 against each other then it goes to points scored.

In this scenario I am sure the Penguins get seed 2 by virtue of 3-1 in the group. What I am not sure about, is whether or not a NEW group of just the 4 remaining teams get put together. Or does it still go by record of the group of 5, then move on to total points from there.

Under the first scenario, Penguins get second seed. Then out of the Group of 4, Rats and Golfers are 2-1, ***O*** and Gurus are 1-2. Rats and Golfers would be the next teams, but Golfers beat the Rats, so they get seed 3. Then it moves to a group of 3 with Rats, Gurus, ***O***. Rats get the 4 seed. ***O*** gets 5, Guru 6.

Under the second scenario, once Penguins get the second seed, then ***O***, Rats and Golfers are all tied in the group of 5 with a 2-2 record. Edit: Actually, in this scenario Golfers still get 3rd, Rats 4th and ***O*** 5th

confusing stuff. maybe we should just lose to nmr to make it a little easier
