Please enter your team for event 5 as soon as possible!

[$80 million, DH, 20% drop penalty - we are now filling League 8].

I've republished this post, from another thread ("2012 champion"), to highlight this information for players who might be thinking about whether or not to enter event 5. My advice - get your team in!!

Here's the post that I wrote:

"I did a little modelling with some estimated playoff points, based on current league standings and some very, very rough point addition estimates. I did this just to get a sense of what the estimated point cut-off might be for the 36th playoff spot.

Based on this VERY ROUGH methodology, I'm estimating that the final playoff spot might require 353 points or so, in relation to the prelimary standings just published by me. The increase is related to my estimate of the additional playoff bonus points that might be earned in events, 3, 4 and 5.

Just to be clear, I have not added any of the 5 point bonuses for entering all 5 events. However, since almost all of the point leaders HAVE entered all 5 events, this is not likely to make a difference - except that the final playoff spot cut-off might be around 358 once the 5 point bonus is added for entering all 5 events.

I strongly encourage every player to keep working at it. My estimate is that about 6 of the current playoff spots (i.e. maybe about 6 of the top 36 spots in my standings totals) might change as a result of playoff races in events 3, 4 and 5! But many of the Event 4 and 5 leagues are barely underway, and so the standings could change radically as leagues are completed and playoff bonus points are awarded.

The link to the thread for my published standings as of October 6 is here:

Please note that I think I will WAIT till AFTER the October 16 deadline to ask for fillers. A lot of people have graciously acted as fillers for previous events. If we can fill Event 5 League 8 with some of the remaining participants (in the original post above), then let's do that first. If League 8 fills, then we will fill up league 9, but only if required (i.e. only if there are more event 5 entries from the players listed above, entered in league 9).

For everyone's general info., I have also sent private messages to the remaining PC tourney participants listed above.

League 9 is now live, with Phila 01 joining!

Choosing players now. Is the deadline the midnight directly following 11pm on the 15th, or 11pm on the 16th. This always confuses me.

The deadline is 1 minute after 11:59 PM ET on Wednesday October 16. That is - late in the evening on Wednesday evening.

All teams entered by the deadline will count, even if it takes us a couple of days to fill the league (with fillers) after the deadline passes.
