If i read the post correctly, the semi-finals will consist of either a 24 or 36 player group. IF IT'S A 24 PLAYER GROUP, THE FINALS WILL BE THE 8 PLAYOFF TEAMS AND THE 2 BEST TEAMS THAT DIDN'T MAKE THE FINALS AND ??THE TOP TWO REGULAR SEASON MANAGER'S TEAM??? :shock: WHAT THAT TRANSLATES INTO IS THAT THE #25 AND #26 TEAMS EFFECTIVELY GET A "BYE" INTO THE FINALS!!! :shock:

:twisted: N O W A Y T H A T S H O U L D H A P P E N ! ! !

IF ANY TWO TEAMS SHOULD EFFECTIVELY GET A BYE INTO THE FINALS, IT SHOULD BE THE TOP RATED TEAM AND THE SECOND HIGHEST RATED TEAM!!! HOW IN THE WORLD COULD THIS HAVE BEEN OVERLOOKED???!!! :oops:

I think you misunderstood. If it's 24 teams then the finals will be the 8 teams that make the playoffs in the 2 semi final leagues which is 8 teams. The next 2 will be the 2 teams in the 2 semi final leagues that have the best record that don't make the playoffs. That's 10 teams now for the final. This leaves 14 teams from the semi final leagues that aren't in the finals. Of those 14 teams, whoever had the best rating from the regular season will get the last 2 spots.

Dhowser is correct.

But it looks like we are going to have enough to do the top 36 any way, so as the Reverend Jesse Jackson would say, The point is moot!

but I thought it was "the QUESTION" that was moot? :wink: :D

I think you are correct, SteadyEddie! It was the question is moot! That was still one of the funniest SNL skits I remember. Can't believe it's not on Youtube.
