The Seeders’ Cup III
The Seeders’ Cup is testing a new trifecta point system that models the score of a football game. See the Slate of Games and the Playoff-Caliber Game Rules for more information.
Playoff-Caliber Game Score | End of First Quarter
A low-scoring first quarter as no Analyst drives for a Touchdown in the week (i.e., correctly picks three winners).
Wise Orangutan and Atwork appeared to be marching for a Touchdown after getting their first two picks correct, but then settled for Field Goals (2 correct picks, 3 points) to end their drives.
The Strategist and B-Reezy struggled to move the ball early when KC defeated their first pick, Oakland, but then moved down the field to score Field Goals (3 points each) at the end of the first quarter.
Four Analyst fail to score in the first quarter, including Little Tuna who did not register one first down (0 correct picks!)
No additional scores were possible as no teams clinched playoff seeding during the week. Heading into the second quarter, it is a three-point game between the Analysts.
Playoff-Caliber Game Tiebreakers
If the Playoff-Caliber Game ends in a tie between two or more Analysts, overtime will be determined by the traditional Tiebreakers in The General Rules and The Seeders’ Cup.
Wise Orangutan secures a first tiebreaker over Big Tuna after his Home Team Kansas City defeats Oakland.
Wise Orangutan, B-Reezy, and Atwork earn a second tiebreaker after correctly picking their Home Teams to win.
No seeder points were possible this week as Miami defeated Arizona, Detroit defeated Chicago, Green Bay defeated Seattle, and New York I defeated Dallas.
