Analyst of the Year VII
See complete Week 16 Standings here.
For the Win
As the last two competitors for the championship, Wise Orangutan has a 1 Trifecta and 1 Correct Pick lead on Craft Brew. In Week 17, if Wise O. gets a Trifecta OR Craft Brew does NOT get a Trifecta, Wise O. Wins.
If Wise O. gets only 2 Correct Picks, Craft Brew can tie him for the lead and send the Analyst of the Year to a post-season playoff (2nd tiebreaker).
If Wise O. gets 1 or 0 Correct Picks, Craft Brew can Win with a Trifecta and Wise O. will Place.
For Place
Craft Brew leads The Strategist by 1 Trifecta and 0 Correct Picks and Jimmy V by 1 Trifecta and 2 Correct Picks. If Craft Brew earns a Trifecta he will either Win (see above) or Place. If both The Strategist and Jimmy V do not get Trifectas then Craft Brew does no worse than Place.
If Craft Brew does not get a Trifecta (2 or fewer Correct Picks), The Strategist can Place with a Trifecta.
BUT, if both Craft Brew and The Strategist do not get Trifectas, then:
- If Craft Brew gets 2 Correct Picks, he Places (a Trifecta will not help Jimmy V overcome the -2 Correct Pick disadvantage to start Week 17).
- If Craft Brew gets 1 Correct Pick, Jimmy V can tie Craft Brew for Place and force a post-season playoff (2nd tiebreaker) for Place and Show.
- If Craft Brew gets 0 Correct Picks, Jimmy V can Place with a Trifecta.
For Show
Craft Brew, The Strategist and Jimmy V can all show based on the scenarios for Place above. But also, if The Strategist and Jimmy V do not earn a Trifecta, Atwork can Show with a Trifecta. Show may end in a tie because it is not subject to postseason tiebreakers (no Purse is on the line).
For the Analyst with No Claim
Sponge Mom has a 3 Correct Pick lead on KateTDid. All other Analysts have secured Claims to Home Teams for Super Trifecta Bowl VII.
If either wins The Seeders’ Cup, the other becomes the Analyst with No Claim despite how the AoY ends. KateTDid currently has a 3 Trifecta point edge on Sponge Mom in The Seeders’ Cup, but both trail the leader by 10+ points.
If the Analyst with No Claim comes down to the Analyst of the Year standings, then Sponge Mom keeps her Claim with a Trifecta OR if KateTDid does not earn a Trifecta. Due to the Correct Pick differential (+/-3), KateTDid retains her Claim only if she earns a Trifecta and Sponge Mom does NOT get a Trifecta, thereby swapping twelfth and thirteenth positions.
