Philly won. The game for some reason has 2 news stories that Batavia is going and Carolina is out...yet Carolina plays Batavia now. I think the 3 way tie broke the game. If Carolina beats Batavia and isn't shown in the playoffs though we can always edit the playoff teams.

Batavia is in.

This game has some serious hate for me.

firing up the game now.

Yea can someone explain why Carolina gets two chances while Philly and Batavia only get 1?

[liquidcrash]

Just the way it works. I think the team that only gets one shot gets the home game to try to even it out:

Three-Club Tie for Two Wild Card Spots:
After Clubs have been assigned their A, B and C designations, Club A would host Club B. The winner of the game would be declared one Wild Card winner. Club C would then host the loser of the game between Club A and Club B to determine the second Wild Card Club.

That explains the what, which I understand. I don't understand the why.

I'm not complaining about the format but it seems rather strange that one team arbitrarily gets two chances, while the other two teamsonly get one. I would think that a round robin format would be more fair.

Well, there's a procedure for assigning the teams into the A, B and C designations. Assuming OOTP is modeled on how the MLB would handle tie scenarios, it goes like this.

Determining A, B, C Designations in Three-Team Tiebreakers

1. All Three Clubs Have Identical Records Against One Another

• Club with highest winning percentage among three tied clubs in intradivision games chooses its designation, followed by the team with the next highest winning percentage in intradivision games. If any two of the clubs have identical winning percentages, then then the two-Club tiebreak rules will break that tie. If all three Clubs have identical winning percentages, then;

• Club with the highest winning percentage in the last half of intraleague games chooses its designation, followed by the team with the next highest winning percentage in intraleague games. If any two of the clubs have identical winning percentages, then then the two-Club tiebreak rules will break that tie. If all three Clubs have identical winning percentages, then;

• Club with the highest winning percentage in the last half plus one intraleague game, provided that such additional game was not between any of the tied Clubs, chooses its designation, followed by the team with the next highest winning percentage in the last half plus one intraleague game. Continue to go back one intraleague game at a time until the tie has been broken.

A quick check shows that BAT, CAR and PHI are all 18-18 against each other this season. They're also all 42-48 in games against Stout division teams, so we're still stuck if I'm reading it right. Somewhere it's assigned Carolina as team A, PHI as B and BAT as C.

That's still the "what" part of the equation, I guess. I'm assuming it's just the simplest way to get it done with in the fewest number of games. A round robin could just lead us right back into a tie if they all went 1-1 against each other again.

[fsquid]

we'll take it although I don't have a rested starter due to using a 4 man lineup the last 2 weeks of the year.

[Pat]

Start Murillo.

[Hank]

I don't see how this concerns the Exports.
Get those exports in and lets see which team full of assholes wins the BLB so I can get back to making my team mediocre again.

[BradZ]

Well, here we are: The Uninvited. No idea how long our stay will be, but while we're here we hope to make some noise.

We're a bipolar team (July was the only month where we were just kind of middle of the road. All other months we were either really, really bad or pretty good):

Record in April	7-15, .318 PCT
Record in May	17-11, .607 PCT
Record in June	10-17, .370 PCT
Record in July	12-14, .462 PCT
Record in August	17-12, .586 PCT
Record in September	17-10, .630 PCT
Record in October	1-2, .333 PCT

I was Team A once before and lost both play-in games. Let's go Team C!
