It was a daft expression an ex-girlfriend used to say when she didn't have a clue what a conversation was about.

The reason there are few upsets predicted is that you are playing 40 games each round. If each team played each other 40 times in the college basketball 64-team NCAA tournament, you would almost always NEVER have upsets. The top teams would win EVERY TIME.

This could be interesting if each team only played 10 or, hell, 3 games each! NOW THAT WOULD BE FUN TO WATCH!!!

In that case:

First Round

1 THOTA beats 16 Left4Dead
9 Black Sheep Squadron beats 8 Nemesis
12 Outlaws and Highwaymen beats 5 Legends of War
4 Immortal Assassins beats 13 Agents of Chaos
14 Mythology beats 3 EMPIRE
6 Knights of the Round Table beats 11 Generation 1
7 Imperial Dragooons beats 10 The Legion
15 Brethren of the Fat Mermaid beats 2 TOFU


Quarters

1 THOTA beats 9 Black Sheep Squadron
12 Outlaws and Highwaymen beats 4 Immortal Assassins
6 Knights of the Round Table beats 14 Mythology
7 Imperial Dragooons beats 15 Brethren of the Fat Mermaid


Semis

12 Outlaws and Highwaymen beats 1 THOTA
7 Imperial Dragooons beats 6 Knights of the Round Table


Finals

12 Outlaws and Highwaymen beats 7 Imperial Dragooooons

lol Karl, that would be fun to watch. But you're very wrong: the opposite would be true. It would come down to which clan's best 3 teams (i.e. 1 dubs, 1 trips, 1 quads) could win. I'd have to say that there would be less upsets, because it would be best-of-clan-A vs. best-of-clan-B.

Less upsets until you got to the Final Four, that is, when the top 3 of the clans teams are generally equal and it comes down to drop / dice / etc.

Now, 1 game would be a crap shoot.

Although we are having fun with the upsets, I have to reiterate my opinion. It's going to be one of the top 6. That's thota, tofu, IA, low, Empire and kort. Reasonably speaking, one of the other clans could be one of them, but will not make it through several of them. I think nemesis or O&H could go deep, but I don't think its likely that they will win the thing. Picking out of the top 6 would be harder, but I'm fairly sure that it will be one of them.

I thought TSM would win the league, however, if KORT keeps it up, they'll be on a roll entering the playoffs.

I know this is the wrong thread, but how do the play offs work? Do we play low or do we play a clan from 1A?

As I understand it jp, technically there can be no winners of the League right? I mean the championship round just has ONE doubles game of British Isles -- and tbh that can be anybody's game.

The Play-offs (championship rounds) in the league consist of 17 games: 4 Dubs, 2 Trips, 2 Quads to be chosen by either side, just as in the regular season. And the British Isles Dubs thrown in as a 17th game to avoid ties.

Not the right thread for this but that makes sense. So whoever wins in the semis advances and pits 4-2-2 + brit isles. Cool, I thought it was just going to be 1 brit isles game.
