Let’s get right to it, shall we?  Here’s the much debated playoff seedings for QFL3:

#1 Balti-Morons (12-1)
#2 Vote Quimby (8-5)
#3 Golden Smoot (6-7)
#4 Revenge of the Cox (7-6)
#5 Quickly Eliminated (7-6)
#6 Rushing Russians (7-6)
———————————-
#7 Qtopia (7-6)
#8 Qutane (6-7)
#9 Raging Alcoholics (6-7)
#10 Goonie Goo Goo (5-8)
#11 Ron Mexiq (4-9)
#12 Al Toon (3-10)

To recap, the tie breaker for the four 7-6 teams were as follows:

-Quickly takes the three way tie in the south with his best divisional record
-The remaining tie between Qtopia and Russians is taken by Russians via best total points
-With the south teams seeded, Cox is seeded by comparing first to the highest seeded south team, Quickly.
-Cox holds the H2H victory over Quickly, so Cox is seeded ahead.

The tie breaker, and thereby the division champ, between Raging and Smoot is taken by Smoot via H2H record.

In the loser bracket, Qutane takes the tie breaker over Raging via higher total points.

Key observations:
– A one point win by K-Rich in week one vs. Raging was the key for Smoot taking the division and #3 seed. Without that win, Dan takes the division. Side note: How sad is that west division? Every team ends with a losing record…
– All Nick had to do was win last week to take that all important first round bye, but the loss dropped him from the 2 to 6 seed. Nonetheless, for a team that was 1-4 after week 5…
– Poor Commish. Qutane puts up the 3rd highest points in the whole league, but winds up with a losing record. Qutane was 6-3 after week 9 and in a fairly comanding position, but would go on to lose the next 4 weeks.
