Standings are updated but here are the possiblities.
In Group 1
toto.fish has clinched a seat at the finals table with his 9 victories
Jdill8 is close to clinching at least a regional playoff slot. If Evil Semp loses any of his three game JDill will be in a regional playoff at the very least. If JDill8 wins her final game she eliminates magneto_alcolyte and mec26 and advances to the finals if Evil Semp loses any of his final three games.
Magneto_alcolyte and mec26 are mathmatically alive. Both are eliminated if they lose their final game or if JDill wins her final game.
Evil Semp can advance to the final table outright if he wins his final three games and Jdill8 loses her final game. He can advance to the regional finals if he wins at least two of his final three games and JDill8 loses her final game OR if he wins all three of his final three games and JDill8 wins her final game.
In Group 2
Bwana has clinched at least a spot in the regional final. With seven victories the only players that can catch him are fireheart, Optimus Prime. Jet5 and freyme but with freyme, Jet5 and Optimus Prime having three common games clearly they all can't catch Bwana. If none of those three manages to win all three active common games then Bwana advances to the finals or if one of them wins all three common games and fireheart loses her final game then Bwana advances to the final table. If it ends in a three way tie then Bwana is in the regional finals at the very least.
Fireheart with 6 victories is in good shape with a 2 victory lead over her closest active competitor but has not yet clinched. If any of the three players above (Jet5, OP or freyme) win all three common games AND if Jet5 or OP is that player and wins their 4th active game AND fireheart loses her final game then fireheart is eliminated. However, she advances to at least the regional finals with a victory OR two losses by Jet5, OP, freyme and one by romoaugusto
Freyme can advance with victories in his final three games OR, victories in two of the games and a fireheart loss.
Jet5 can advance with victories in his 4 active games OR victories in three of the games and a fireheart loss.
Optimus Prime can advance with victories in his 4 active games OR victories in three of the games and a fireheart loss.
Romoaugusto can advance with a fireheart loss AND victories in his final two games.
Group 3
Nothing is decided yet.
Marshall Law, Bones2484 and Maximum Elvis are in the clubhouse with 6 wins. They all advance to regional playoffs if at least 3 of the following players lose one or more games: Dimnjarstef, FaceyKC, negoeien, and KevinL. They are eliminated if negoeien wins his final 4 games AND either dimnjarstef or FaceyKC wins their final game. Any other combination will result in a regional playoff.
Dimnjarstef and FaceyKC both have 6 wins with one game remaining which is in common. If either of them wins they will clinch placement in the final table. The loser will clinch a spot in the regional playoff if negoeien loses any of his three active games.
negoeien will clinch a spot at the final table with victories in his final three games (in common with FagAsh and KevinL). He will clinch a slot at the regional playoff with victories in two of his final three.
FagAsh must win all three of his final games or be eliminated. If he wins all three he will be in the regional playoff.
KevinL must win at least four of his final five games or be eliminated. If he wins all five he will be at the final table. If he wins four he'll be at the regional finals.
