Semi-Finals Projected Top 36 Managers

Guys - this is my best guess at this stage about which managers might make the semi-finals.

It looks like a score of just over 350 will be needed this year.

To make this projection, I have used the following assumptions:
1. League 5 scores have been extrapolated using existing win percentages (as of 4 Oct).
2. If your league 5 team scores 85 wins or above, I have assumed that you will make the playoffs.
3. Playoff teams will get an additional 0-8 wins. I have assumed that all teams who make the playoffs in L5 will get 4 wins.

EW = estimated wins.
PW= playoff wins.

If you see any obvious mistakes, let me know and I will correct them in the next update.

Also if there are any managers outside of the current top47 that you think should be added to this list, please let me know.

Cheers,
Steve

The top 36 is just about set. The only one outside of the top 36 in the above list who could possibly make the semi-finals is MPCharette who would need to win the semis and win at least 3 games in his final series in L5 to get enough points.

klx22 is the 'bubble boy' this year. He is one win short of making the semis.

I have been watching and tracking the standings of this fine tournament since I have several friends involved including one who is still mathematically alive for the top 36. Lev only has to win 3 of his last 21 games to move into 36th at 353, dropping the 2 players at 352 out. Milleram has to win 3 games in his playoffs to hit 353. Samho has to win 6 in his playoffs to hit 353. Plus, there are 2 players in the last group of leagues who at their current pace will get there as well. Itchy may not need playoffs to make it. Currently, Radagast would need 2 playoff wins. I believe Delbird sits at a possible tiebreaker spot at 354. Congrats to the organizer for a great tournament and good luck to those still trying to make the top 36 and to all those who have already secured a spot.

Thanks much, especially to Mr. Baseball. This was my first Players Championship. I will probably fall short of the final 36, but I do have an outside shot I guess. Congratulations to all the fine managers especially those that will make the final 36.

This was a nice change of pace to the very challenging Mystery Tournament and the fast pace of The Daily Game.

Lev is projected to finish with 362 points in 25th place.

Milleram needs to be added to the list. Will update shortly.

I will also add samh0711, ITCHY, Radagast Brown, and Delbird to the list as well.

Thanks for pointing this out to me.

Cheers.

Updated with additional managers who could make the top 36, depending on playoff performance in L5.

Since mentioning I might technically still be alive I have gone 1-8. I think that is it for me. Doh! Best of luck everyone else.

There must be a mistake. I am looking very carefully and I dont see my name in the top 36...

Reminds me of the time my boss was playing fantasy baseball back in the dark (pre-internet) days in some national $25,000 prize competition. There were thousands of teams, which were divided into 25 team leagues, and he put his team together and he was mailed the results for like the first couple of weeks,but he doesnt see his team so he calls up to find what the heck happened...

Boss: "What happened? My team is missing! I got sent a league with only 24 teams and you guys forgot to include my team. What kind of operation are you running there?"
Customer service: "What league are you in?"
Boss: "Blah blah blah."
Customer Service: "Team name?"
Boss: "Blah blah blah."
Customer Service: "Well, let's see here....Well, sir, the reason youre not listed is that, uh, youre ranked 25th. Guess you only got the first page..."
Boss: "oh."

Later...

Boss: "The guy gave me a pep talk, said it's early and I still had a chance..."
Me: "You kidding? Youre toast!"

I played in one of those leagues before the Internet. I was probably the guy in 24th place, out of 25. I want to say this one was a USA TODAY LEAGUE from approximately 1999 or 2000.

I found online SOM around the summer of 2006, after having played cards and dice off and on since the age of 8.

I wish I had found it when it first came out. I like how they still offer the 2007-2019 sets. Now if they could only link up 1999 thru 2019 that would be impressive. And a few more 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s individual season sets. It seems like a lot to ask but it's really not. They already have the online sets and salaries going back to at least 2002.
