Barnstormers 2013 Finals - Live Draft and League Chat

I decided to contact customer support again regarding my inability to access the ATG boards since shortly after my homage to Wayne Terwilliger. (Was it something I said?)

I'd skip contacting the SOM folks and place a call to my friend at the NSA

The small ball Central division is holding its own against the power hitting parks

Not a bad showing for the 4 of us - we're all in the playoff hunt with 2 nights to go.

Wacky happenings in the Barnstormers Finals - the top 4 teams, that is the players that finished 1-4 in the Final point standings, all made the playoffs.

What are the odds ?

MM

If you assume that all 12 managers are equally likely to make the playoffs, then it's 1 chance in 495.

But a prerequisite is for each division to have at least one of them. This will only happen in 64.8% of all possible divisional alignments. That knocks it down to 1 chance in 763.

I don't even want to get into trying to handicap the field, maybe Chris can release some of his data from his 10,000 simulated seasons.

Essentially, you can pick any number from 1 in 495 to 64.8% of the time, depending on how likely you think each of the four particular top 4 qualifiers is to make the playoffs in the finals league.

One of life's great imponderables.

Maybe one of you in the league can post the H/H for these 4 teams ?

For the curious, I was 13-11 against springer and 6-6 against Bruce for the regular season; Bruce was 9-3 against springer.

congrats to brucef on his championship... he gets bragging rights for a a year

Thanks, chunga. I hope we can all do it again next year.

When (if) I get the time, I'll update BruceF's "luck" or "no luck" stats re:dice outcomes
