Division Balancing and Playoff Power Rundown... - Lets Beef

**RhetoriK** · #1 05-29-2012, 12:19 PM

Alright League battlers, he's one of the final updates leading into the playoffs. Needless to say there's still a bit of battling to put out to get people over cap (by the end of this week) and to clinch playoffs spots...

Updated Divisions:

I took what was left of the UK Division (those with records that are active and within a run at the playoffs) and combined it with the bottom five records from the South Division. I'm calling it the Midwest Division. The GM duties will be shared by Verity and Myself. With that said we're looking at the rundown like the NFL Division Playoffs. Here's the outlook...

Capping Protocol:

if you don't make cap (completing 3 battles or more) it's fine. But know that your record will automatically be pushed below the records that have made cap regardless of your record and will be sorted in order. I don't see anyone under-cap making the playoffs to be clear.

The League - Stat Table

(Overall Record) Votes For, Votes Against, Calculated Power Ranking

Bold - Frozen after current cards
Non-Bold - Active
y-clinched division championship, no battles until the playoffs
x-clinched playoff spot
z-met cap, far fetched playoff spot

WEST - GM: RhetoriK™
Entire Division has met the minimum 3 battle cap!
y-iQ™ (6-0) 66 22 75.33
x-Phil Banks (4-0) 50 24 55.11
x-TalkSick (3-0) 20 7 30.88
SWAVY (2-1) 49 28 30.88
RhetoriK™ (2-1) 40 32 41.30 - pending battle w/SwiftKey
z-Almighty™ (2-3) 34 42 30.27
z-Fiji Osa (1-3) 32 27 30.27
z-Erupt (1-2) 16 31 15.61

West Division Breakdown

@iQ™ the undisputed Division winner (props). Followed by @Phil Banks who's gassed up this past week as well. Both have met cap so they've clinched their spots. @TalkSick is at cap and undefeated, so he rounds out the qualifiers. @SWAVY is on the bubble as well as @RhetoriK™ (pending I can get this battle out with @SwiftKey) so the next league battle to drop for the both of us need to be clutch wins.

EAST - GM: Erupt
x-AfterThought (3-1) 49 29 48.39
x-Wizdumb™ (3-1) 34 21 36.87
Tain (2-1) 24 8 31.00
Phenomonon (2-1) 6 17 8.50
z-Crack Money (1-2) 17 25 13.50
Phroxen (1-0) 21 6 29.50
Final Word (1-1) 15 25 11.29
SwiftKey (0-2) 3 29 1.33

East Division Breakdown

@AfterThought and @Wizdumb™ have been in the trenches over the last month and a half and it's shown. Wiz's victory over AT was the definable clutch win that he needed to solidify his playoff spot. @Tain's loss to SWAVY put him on the bubble ironically SWAVY needed that win to stay in his run in the West. @Phenomonon needs an overkill win looking at his vote spread. With that said, @Crack Money, @Phroxen, @SwiftKey, and @FiNAL WoRD can all clinch with 2 wins. It all depends on who' showing up in the next week. Swifty or Crack can pull off the ultimate Cinderella story in the whole thing!

SOUTH - GM: iQ™
x-Ateleron (3-0) 25 6 35.39
PheoNix (1-3) 20 19 9.00
Xplissit (2-0) 19 3 28.00
GrizzEat (1-0) 15 2 25.33
Daddy New Pimpin (1-0) 15 23 18.33
Ill Phenom (1-0) 10 0 21.00
Supreme (1-0) 10 0 21.00

South Division Breakdown

With the Midwest Split. The South division is wide open. @Ateleron has been dominant against debateable opponents, but with is undefeated clinch, he'll get his chance to prove doubters wrong in the playoffs. Xplissit looks like he'll be the 2nd clincher. Everything after that is a toss-up.

MIDWEST - GM: Verity/RhetoriK™
x-ViTRiOL (3-0) 33 4 44.67
NaturIll (1-2) 14 23 2.0
RULE (2-0) 30 9 39.27
Verity (1-0) 11 4 19.52
Hot Like Whut Whut (1-0) 7 2 16.46
K Rizzy (1-1) 6 10 11.00
Dono (0-1) 2 7 7.50
Scip (0-2) 2 13 -3.00
Dru- (0-0) 0 0 10.00

Midwest Division Breakdown

One OBVIOUS clincher in ViTRiOL. NaturIll deserves props for winning his last battler in clutch style. Without that he'd be at the scrap bottom of the barrel. With an uncertain outcome for these latecomers, it's anyones game. Verity, HLWW, and Dono look strong as contenders, but @RULE might surprise with one more heavy performance to seal himself in for the playoffs/GC Tournament.

Suspended Records
League battlers w/suspended records/forfeits/etc
No Order, Just for record keeping
GOOD GRIEF (1-3) 10 24 7.57
Oskar Khan (0-3) 10 40 -3.00

RIP Grief and Oskar =(
