Guess I never did the math before this week.

DDD drafts first, he picks no divisions; Rob picks 2QB league; D3f picks nine-man bench; I pick anyone complaining about the format gets an automatic loss (ok, so it would have to be restricted to actual Yahoo settings, but you get the idea). Obviously someone can't draft something that contradicts a rule already drafted, so if someone had picked 2QB, you can't then change it to 1QB with a later pick. Then people pick their draft slot, in reverse order, to balance out the rule drafting. I'd totally play in that.

Assuming no stat corrections, L1 playoffs are pretty simple for the most part. Myself and Flameaxe are in as 1 and 2 seeds. Tally and Rob will be in as the Voodoo division winner and wild card respectively if they win. If they don't, Cow and AGar need a win to overtake them. The other possible scenario is that both Tally and Cow get in, which happens if they win and AGar and Rob lose, handing the wild card to Cow. It's technically possible for AGar to overtake Rob on points scored, but he needs 60.55 to do it, which is a bit much for a single week.
Relegation is a five-way battle, with only T-Bone guaranteed to go down. Kmd is in the most trouble at 4-9, but he also has the best points total of the bottom six and can guarantee that he finishes above 5-8 IS by beating him this week. He then needs help from Tally and Cow, who have to beat zoraster and Nero (both 5-8) respectively for Kmd to finish above them. Zoraster also needs at least two of Nero, IS and Panzer (6-7) to lose, as he has a worse points total than everyone but Panzer and already-relegated T-Bone. A loss for him means certain relegation. IS is just under 20 points ahead of Nero, so it's possible the lowest-scoring of those two will get relegated this week even if they both win. Assuming he doesn't get relegated automatically, Panzer is guaranteed to stay up with a win but could be in trouble with a loss, on account of his terrible points total from all that failing to set his lineup. If he does lose, two of those three 5-8 teams still have to win to relegate him.

A KMD win also keeps me up. So uh.. LET'S GO KMD.
