THE WEEK THAT WAS
Though his playoff hopes are slim, 3 games out with 8 games to go, The DFC is just like NASCAR in one respect--you can still win a week and not make The Chase.  So goes it for rookie John Wolf, our resident DFC Husker, who gets his very first weekly win at 6-2.   Tied for second are two more who either have a slim chance, or no chance, and thats rookie David "The Rule" Tuck and original DFC'er Daniel Powell, respectively, both at 6-2.   Mark "The Mighty" Gainey gets 4th, and Matt "The Chemist" Halpert gets 5th, all at 6-2.

In sixth is Sarah Hasha at 5-3, in seventh is Zack Zack "The DFC Maniac" Graves, eighth is Big Tom Johnson, and tied for 9th and rounding out our Top Ten is Yours Truly and Lt. Dan, all at 5-3.

THE PLAYOFF PREDICAMENT
Well, it looks like, for the very, very first time in the ten completed years of The Deuce Football Championships, we might have a Division Winner (Tommy McLeod), get a postseason berth over someone who has a better record than he does.  Currently, Tommy has a 49-39 record, with a 11.11 TBA, but is leading the Central Division.  This poses a problem for Zack Graves and Drew Warren, who both have 51-37 records.  However, as written in this season's DFC Rules (listed in this preseason post), Tommy will get the nod as a division winner over those who have a better record:

Says the rules:  The top six records in each conference will make the postseason, with division winners making it regardless, even if a division winner has a worse record than someone in another division for the 6th spot. The top two seeds, regardless of divisional status, get first round byes, the other four per conference will participate in "Wild Card Weekend". Divisional winners get higher seeds when in a record-tie with 2nd+ place in another division, regardless of TBA, but if 2nd place in a division has a higher record than a divisional winner, that higher seed is awarded to the 2nd place division finisher.


Just wanted to make sure the rules are clear... let me know if you have any questions!
 
TIEBREAK AVERAGES
Wanted to give you this list, so you'll be fully aware of where the Tiebreak Average is coming from.  As we eliminated the "drop" this year, your best and worst tiebreak score this season have been dropped, leaving all remaining scores to be tallied and averaged.  Through eleven weeks, this is where everyone stands...
 
How to read:  By your name, you'll see a list of numbers, with two in parantheses.  This is how far off you have been per week, with the two in parantheses being the two scores not counted.  For instance, Matt Latta is first--his first three weeks are 12, 28, and 6.  The first tiebreak game had a total score of 63, he guessed 51, he was 12 off.  Second week, the total points were 23, he guessed 51, he was off 28, and so on, week by week.  The number 28 is in ( ) because its his worst TB score of the season.  His 3 is also in ( ) because that's his best of the season.  He also had a 3 Week Ten, but it counts, because only one will be counted as "best".  If he is off by 29 in Week Twelve, that 29 will be eliminated, and the 28 will be included in the TBA.   All numbers are then divided by 9, which is 11 weeks of the season, minus the best and worst weeks... hope this makes sense, and I hope I didn't overexplain it...
