From my calculations, if we win tomorrow, then we clinch 2nd as Calgary could at best tie us, but we'd be at least 2-1 against them...(assuming they then win next week)
Sask could tie us even if we win, but then since Calgary was 2-1 vs Sask, they'd get 2nd place at worst, and Sask would get third (or edm).
So, unless I screwed up somewhere, a win Tomorrow would clinch 2nd and a win+sask loss=1st

You screwed up, the Riders have our number in the tie breaker, so each of the three teams with this potential scenario would be at the mercy of the leagues descretion on the order of finish, if all end with an 11 - 7 record. It isn't going to happen, but until it is clarified, we will have to include it as a possibility.

I don't like the options.
I want to see Sask win, and Toronto win. That keeps EE in the basement, right where they should be. The Riders have beaten us each time we've played them...next time, it's our turn!!

Jay didn't screw up.
A Lions win on Friday and a Riders loss on Monday = first place Lions.
A win Friday would give the Leos 22 pts with 3 games remaining.
Calgary would have 18 pts and 2 games remaining.
Even if the Leos lose all 3 remaining and the Stamps win their 2 remaining the best they can do is tie the Leos for first. We get the tie breaker.
If Sask loses to the Als on Thanksgiving they would have 14 pts with 3 games remaining. No matter how you slice it an 8 point deficit can't be made up with 3 games.

Let's just let the Lions win first and then we will see where the chips fall.
Since his poll leaves out all posssible potential scenarios (ie a three way tie at 11 - 7), and he stated "unless I screwed up", the tie format had to be pointed out.bc49 wrote:Jay didn't screw up.

Now that I don't live in Quesnel do I need to change my handle??
We will know better this weekend if that tie gets trown out of the way. It is also not likely to happen, the percentages have to be less than 5%, but it is still there as of now.bc49 wrote:
I hate Rammer's tie format.
I also didn't put in the actual possibility of ties happening down the stretch impacting the final standings as there hasn't been one this season or last....but they are still a potential option.
