We're getting close! Two of the three playoff leagues finished their regular seasons, and we now know 8 of the 12 managers that will be moving into the championship round:

Marcpelletier
Stevep107
Stoney18
J-Pav
Hendrix08
Boyer14
Steadyeddie33
Gilbo

Great seasons by all! Look forward to crowning a new(?) champ for 2016!

Reference is made to the slight change in the point system, adding points accumulated in the semi-finals round to the manager's points total from the qualifying rounds. This will effect the final overall standings, impacting the order of picks in the live draft for the Champions League.

So what does put us with the standings...do we have to wait for the playoffs to be played out?

My pick is ready if I still hold first spot.

My pick is ready if I still hold first spot.

Excluding playoffs, the draft order for the Final 12 are:

411 - MarcP
375 - JPav
373 - Gilbo
370 - Sociophil
369 - Steadyeddie
368 - Stoney
365 - WJB
360 - Splinter
355 - John567855
351 - SteveP
349 - Boyer14
348 - Hendrix

There is still room for movement based on playoff wins, although Marc has clinched the top pick. As a reminder, it's an 8-round, NON-SERPENTINE draft (7 players and a ballpark).

So final draft order will have to wait until all playoffs are finished.

We still need to wait for Bill and John to finish their series, however, the final order is nearly set if you're interested in seeing how it currently stands (I'm up late, out of town, and bored):

1. MARCPELLETIER 502 pts (411+89+2)
2. J-Pav 470 pts (375+87+8)
3. SteadyEddie33 464 pts (369+88+7: tiebreaker win with 1 ring)
4. sociophil 464 pts (370+92+2)
5. Stoney18 461 pts (368+87+6) *If Bill wins the ring and ends up with 461 pts, Stoney has tiebreaker (1 ring, 2 finals).
6. hendrix08 459 pts (348+103+8) *If Bill ties hendrix, hendrix will have the tiebreaker with 1 ring.
7. Gilbo 457 pts (373+82+2) *If Bill ties Gilbo, Gilbo will have the tiebreaker with 1 ring.
8. wjb23 457 pts (365+88+?)
9. the splinter 450 pts (360+88+2)
10. john567855 445 pts (355+86+?) *John has the tiebreaker with 2 rings.
11. boyer14 445 pts (349+94+2)
12. stevep107 442 pts (351+88+3)

The divisions look like this:

EAST

1. MARCPELLETIER
6. ?
7. ?
12. stevep107

CENTRAL

2. J-Pav
5. Stoney18
8. ?
11. boyer14

WEST

3. SteadyEddie33

I know keyzick will post the final standings, but this can give everyone the opportunity to check, double check and triple check the addition and tiebreaker assessments ahead of time.

Great. I get to pick last AND get MARCPELLETIER in my division...which will be fun...and by fun, I mean emotionally scarring...

Bill moves up one spot with the win this evening, so he currently has the seventh pick.

Regarding ballparks (just to clarify), my understanding is that we won't be using unique ballparks in the finals. So that means that more than one team may use the same ballpark, provided that neither team has used that ballpark so far.

If this is the case, why bother drafting ballparks?

We will be using "unique Ballparks", that each player has not used before. Therefore we do need a draft to decide this so that there are not duplicate stadiums among players.

Yes, unique ballparks...cannot use one you already used
