PC-Fecta Derby VII | Slate of Games

The Entrants

The Analysts have submitted their papers and claimed their Home Teams to start the new season. The Claim Box for PC-Fecta Derby VII is:

PC-Fecta Derby VII | Home Teams
Home Teams for PC-Fecta Derby VII

Slate of Games

PC-Fecta Derby VII | Slate of Games
Slate of Games for PC-Fecta Derby VII

The Slate of Games for PC-Fecta Derby VII includes seven head-to-head competitions during the month (the first tiebreaker in the race), but Leg 2 may prove to be key as an open sprint with 13 games and no head-to-head competitions!

In Leg 1, the clubhouse turn, we kick off the season with Wise Orangutan’s Blotches visiting the Rav-ing Big Tuna in Baltimore and the pirate who stole the Bucs, Little Tuna, challenging the fleur-de-lis, Sponge Mom. In Leg 3, the near turn, Atwork Packs-up for the Big Easy to contest Saints-ly Sponge Mom, while The Strategist leads her First Nation against Big Tuna’s Nevermores. Down the home stretch, Leg 4, the competition heats up as Wise O. attempts to expose the Brown-stain on the chaps of Woody’s Cowboys, Craft Brew tries to Steel-ers a win from Kate-TDid’s Buccaneers Titanic-disappointment, and Jimmy V marches Patriot-ically against The Strategist’s Custer-Busters.

Home teams owned by an Analyst are in bold. The team at the left is the visiting team; the team at the right is the host (playing at home). There are many featured games: two Thursday nights (TNF), all four Sunday nights (SNF), and all five Monday nights (MNF – a first!).

None of the Home Teams are on a bye-week during PC-Fecta Derby VII!

Picks

Remember: Every Analyst has a bias for his or her Home Team and may NOT pick their Claimed team to lose. Analysts do not have to pick his or her Home Team to win, but *bonus* trifecta points are won only if Analysts include the Home Team in a *base* or *lame* Trifecta. See the Derby Rules for more.

Email picks in private to The Bookie before each Leg (week) of the Race. Thursday games are due by 2pm on Thursdays (flexible per The Bookie’s time in special circumstances). All Sunday and Monday Picks are due on Saturdays at 2pm. No Picks for games after kickoffs are accepted.

No revisions (Re-Picks) are possible after the Picks have been released to all Analysts by The Bookie.

WFTL Season VII (2020-21) | Home Team Claims

Season VII Welcome

A reminder that we adopted a Rule for Home Team trades last season: here.

Season VII begins in uncertainty as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to ravage parts of America. The Analysts have chosen not to adopt special rules for canceled games or convalescing Home Teams. Claimers beware!

Season VII | Starting Home Team Claims

A second reminder that the order of the Standing during Season VII reflects the final rankings for Analyst of the Year VI…a bitter third reminder for Wise Orangutan that he is the only member of his immediate family who has not won the most illustrious or the most prestigious trophy in sports analysis!

The Claims are:

World Football Trifecta Championship 2020-21

WFTL Season VII Preparations

The General Rules for the World Football Trifecta League have been updated such that Analysts must relinquish Claims to Home Teams to start the season and the Analysts Claim new Home Teams in reverse of the Standings for the prior season’s Analyst of the Year. Every third year, Claims Order is determined by a random drawing.

No Analysts went to pasture and no new Analysts joined the WFTL. The Claims Order for the 13 returning Analysts is then:

  1. Little Tuna
  2. KateTDid
  3. Wise Orangutan
  4. The Strategist
  5. Woody
  6. Big Tuna
  7. The Bookie
  8. Sponge Mom
  9. Roxy Trot
  10. B-Reezy
  11. Craft Brew
  12. Jimmy V
  13. Atwork

Key Dates for Season VII:

September 6 – Select Home Teams.
September 20 – Send The Bookie your share of the Purse for the year.

Improved Season VII Rules

1) To start the new Season, Analysts must relinquish Claims to Home Teams from the prior season. New Claims will be made in reverse order of the Standings for the prior season’s Analyst of the Year. Every third year, the Claims Order will be determined by random drawing.

2) With the expanded playoff field to 14 teams in the professional football league, all but the last Analyst in the Claims Order will have a Claim for the Super Trifecta Bowl. This means 12 of 13 Analysts will have a Claim to one of the 14 playoff teams, while the Analyst with No Claim will have 2 playoff Teams to play the spoiler.

3) The Analysts determined that NO new rules for the COVID-19 crisis will be adopted. If games are canceled after Picks are in or if a Home Team is sent to pasture due to an outbreak, the Analysts will have no recourse other than what is provided in the Standard Rules.

Riders Up!

The PC-Fecta Derby kicks off the new season. There is no revision to the rules from Season VI. Review the rules and points system for the PC-Fecta Derby here.
