Playoffs. Who's in, who's ... Not?

This is all as of right now, and I'll add who is locked in, etc.

DIVISION I

1: Pool Legends - REMAINING OPPONENTS: PoolFiction, DreamPool. Number one, and DP is apparently 12-4 now so if that's the case, Pool Legends still need a win to clinch the #1 overall seed in the top division. Otherwise they can lose to PFN and then get 7-0'D by DP, probably neither of which will happen, and end up #2.
2: DreamPool - REMAINING OPPONENTS: Bye, Pool Legends. Well, after the bullshit Andy pulled without any punishment at all (let me emphasize he forfeited a 3-1, soon to be 4-1 match as his apology, and Steve is somehow content with that) DP gets a Bye and then go to work against PL. The league's a joke now though, and basically they could fall to 3rd, depending on what 8BR does. Why? Well, 8BR beat DP twice this season. 8BR has a Bye and a winnable match against jokers Alley coming up. Good chance DP falls to 3rd.
3: 8Ball Runners - REMAINING OPPONENTS: Bye, Jokers Alley. Well, these guys are staring 2nd place down right about now. They're 11-5, and would be tied with the Outlaws but Jamie has pulled them out because he can no longer field a team each week. Ah yes, the titans are now falling. Good sign that the league is on the ass end of its lifespan. 8BR doesn't even need to hold off PM because 8BR's win was 6-1, while the loss was only 4-3 as they split the season series. This means with 8BR's Bye, they've clinched no worse than 3rd place.
4: Pool Masters - REMAINING OPPONENTS: Indian Pool, Bye. They have 4th place clinched and they can't possibly move out of it. Plain and simple. PFN can match them in match wins but that's it, their head-to-head is that screwy lol. Just a case of not beating the right leagues by the right scores. They will face off against PoolFiction or IndianPool, most likely PFN, with the winner to face, most likely, Pool Legends.
5: PoolFiction - REMAINING OPPONENTS: Pool Legends, Indian Pool. A team with 2 matches left, and actual matches. A rarity like PL! PoolFiction lost to IndianPool 4-3. This means another IND win over 'Fiction, and a PFN loss to PL means IndianPool sneaks in as the 5 seed. Well, that is if IND can take down Pool Masters. They probably won't.

So basically it looks like Pool Legends getting the Bye and facing either PM or PFN. From there, it'll be 8Ball Runners and DreamPool facing off with just home room to be decided, while the winner of that match faces whoever wins the Pool Legends match. That is, IF my understanding of a 5-team bracket is correct.

Division II tomorrow, probably followed by 3 because I will be gone Friday and Saturday and back late on Sunday. Hope all 3 of you enjoyed the read ;)
