2012 Major League Baseball 2v2 (COMPLETE)

[nolefan5311]

3 sets have been reflected in the standings so far. I will probably send a couple more games out later on this week just to keep the pace going. Thanks to everyone for being vigilant about accepting their invites in a timely manner.

[silversun6]

you should update the scores so everyone will see out incredible run...

[nolefan5311]

lol, most sets have only 1 or 2 games remaining to be finished, but I won't update until all games for a set have been completed. Undefeated so far though, well done.

is there any sort of leader board result board ??

In the second post of the thread there is a link to a google docs spreadsheet. As a matter of fact, pretty much the entire second post is dedicated to the schedule and standings.

My team is 9-14. Embarrassing. We're going to have to make a second half turn around.

If Washington switches their home map, we'd like to switch to Rail USA for the 2nd half.

Change of map : Texas Rangers - Kingm and HerrZ - Australia - No Spoils, Chained - no fog

Thanks for the feedback from everyone. It appears that we've come to an agreement to just forfeit the rest of their games, turn their 4 wins into losses (they are currently 4-30), and move on. A concern was brought up to me that if there is a 1 game difference to decide who gets into the playoffs, one team could benefit from this. Well, with how MLB scheduling works, every team in the NL East will have played the same amount of series against the Nationals (6 CC games), and the other teams in the NL will have played the same amount of series against the Nationals (2, 1 home and 1 away). Everybody gets credited with the same amount of wins.

So, the only issue where this could come into play is with interleague play. According to the schedule, the Nationals have played 1 CC game against the Blue Jays, 2 games against the Orioles, 1 against the Red Sox, 1 against the Yankees, and 1 against the Rays. All of these games have already concluded and they lost all of them, so nothing will be affected by these changes.

The only way any issue could arise is if one of the teams they beat (Reds, Pirates, Mets, Phillies) happens to get in to the playoffs by 1 game (the loss I am now changing to a win), and the team that was left out was not awarded any "free wins". If that happens, I will conduct a 1 game playoff between the two contending teams on a random map, winner goes to the playoffs. The alternative is to keep those 4 losses as on the books, but with me giving several teams "free wins", the same situation would arise just in the inverse. So, I think this is about as fair as I can make it.

Sound good to everyone? I will also post this in the tourney thread should you need to reference it in the future.

Yes, I'm working out how I'm going to do this.

I haven't noticed an update in the standings. Did I miss something somewhere, or have they not been updated yet? No worries either way, just curious, because we never had a loss changed to a win.

Yeah, I apologize about that, I haven't changed them yet. Apparently my job, in an effort to increase productivity, has blocked google docs (but not CC, thank god). I will try to update this weekend.

[alaskanassassin]

No worries, was just curious and checking in. Thanks for letting me know!

[nolefan5311]

Standings have been updated for the most part. Still waiting on 5 weeks to complete and there are only 2 more weeks left in the regular season. I will need to reconfirm everything once the regular season concludes, so in the meantime you may want to do a little research on your schedules to see if what I have is correct.

[nolefan5311]

All regular season games have completed, and we have our playoff teams. How the MLB playoff system works, via the Wikipedia page:

"... the wild card team played the top-seeded divisional champion in the Division Series, unless the two teams were in the same division, in which case the wild card team played the second-seeded divisional champion; in both cases the remaining two teams from that league played each other in the other Division Series."

So taking this into account for the American League, the Orioles are the wild card team, but the Blue Jays are the #1 seed. Since they are from the same division, they cannot play each other in the first round. So the first round matchups will be the Twins at the Blue Jays, and the wild card Orioles will play at the #2 seed Mariners.

The AL is as follows:

(#4) Baltimore Orioles vs. (#2) Seattle Mariners
(#3) Minnesota Twins vs. (#1) Toronto Blue Jays

We have a slight issue in the NL. The NL Central champ Reds and NL West Champ Rockies are tied for the best record, so they will have a 1 game tiebreaker game to determine who will be the #1 seed. The other two NL playoff teams are the wild card Giants and the NL East Champ Braves. The Giants are the wild card and the Rockies could be the #1 seed, which means the Giants would then play the Reds anyway, regardless of that matchup. So, either way, the Giants would face the Reds, and the Rockies would face the Braves. The tiebreaker game is still needed in case both of those teams progress to the next round, but I will send out the first round games tonight.

The NL is as follows:

(#4) San Francisco Giants (Wild Card) @ (#1 or #2) Reds
(#3) Atlanta Braves @ (#1 or #2) Rockies

This can be a little confusing, so if you have any questions let me know.

I want to thank everyone for participating, and congrats to the playoff teams.

Baltimore Orioles take 3 games from the mariners to move on

Thanks. The other AL Series has concluded too so I will send out the games this evening.

Additionally, the Colorado Rockies have beaten the Reds to gain control of the #1 seed in the NL.
