| Welcome to the AAA-OAK division site. You may click on the SCHEDULE/SCORES, STANDINGS, or PLAYER STATS link in the lefthand navigation panel for the information from this division only. You may also go back to the 2010 Summer season homepage for all of the league-wide information. AAA-OAK playoff brackets WED 8/25 (12:30AM) -- Members Only has been forfeited and fined (to cover the costs of gym time and scorekeepers) via their forfeit bond for playing 3 ineligible players on 8/22. Thus, the Dragons get the forfeit win and will now face ReDream Team in the Last Losers Bracket Game. We are fortunate that the single-elim Oakboyz lost, otherwise it would've gotten complicated and perhaps resulted in further costs to be reimbursed by Members Only. Please note, the Dragons filed the protest, paid the investigation fee, and we were almost immediately able to confirm from our scoresheets that the player were, indeed, ineligible. We have returned the fee to the Dragons.  MON 8/16 (6:30PM) -- My (most reliable) scorekeeper just told me that his guy reversed the score of Hit List vs Oakboyz when texting me the score, so Oakboyz won and replace the schedule and bracket below with Oakboyz, not Hit List. I'm actually not gonna fix the bracket graphic because that's a pain. It will be fixed next week since it's just a snapshot (albeit a pain-in-the-ass-to-produce snapshot) of my Excel spreadsheet. MON 8/16 (1:45PM) -- Wow, with single-elim Oakboyz and Hitlist winning their opening round games yesterday, they threw the bracket in a tizzy! We now have four teams in the Losers Bracket which will be whittled to one by the end of this upcoming Sun 8/22. Meanwhile Famlossal's #1 seed seems to have helped out as they avoid the dogfight in the dungeon and face Hitlist, which went 1-6 in the regular season. The Oakboyz were eliminated in a thrilling 65-62 overtime loss to Hitlist, which came after a thrilling comeback against the Dragons. Yet, the Dragons remain alive for the time being as they earned double-elim status. So the Losers Bracket will get re-attached to the Winners Bracket depending on the Famlossal/Hitlist result. If Famlossal loses, then there's another mini-bracket to be inserted. And the way things are going, it appears that even if Famlossal eliminates Hitlist on 8/22, then we could potentially have our Championship and Repeat Championship on 8/29, depending on if the teams that are still alive are planning to be in Vegas 9/12 (if so, then we would try to finish it out asap).  AAA-OAK playoff seedings TUE 8/10 (12:15AM) -- Here are the playoff seeds heading into 8/15...
That means we have the following matchups for 8/15... playoffs1: #5 ReDream Team AAA at #4 Members Only playoffs1: #6 Oakboyz at #3 Dragons playoffs1: #7 Hit List at #2 Phenoms playoffs2: Winner-RDA/MemO at #1 Famlossal playoffs2: Winner-Oakb/Drgn at Winner-HitL/Phen Now, we are "sort of" playing two rounds in one on 8/15 because this division is behind most of all the other divisions and I'm trying to get it all done by 9/12. Normally, with a 7-team structure we give the #1 seed a bye the first round, but we don't necessarily have to. I don't like to force doubleheaders on teams, but I "sort of" can in this instance because, at the same time, I shouldn't be forcing teams to take a bye. Famlossal earned the #1 seed and will get "rewarded" by having all the rest of the teams playing doubleheaders. There is the issue of the Losers Bracket, which will sort of be behind due to not being able to predict which double-elim-status teams will be in the Losers Bracket after the first round, but we will try to catch up the Losers Bracket, which is do-able with doubleheaders as is the norm, in case that happens. With "just" 7 teams, I don't think that will be a problem unless all the double-elim-status teams get upset on 8/15. We'll see. AAA-OAK season roadmap TUE 8/3 (11:59PM) -- For 8/8 we have the following matchups based on standings... Hit List at Dragons Oakboyz at Phenoms Famlossal at Members Only bye: ReDream Team AAA So, ReDream remains idle. The Phenoms have beaten the Oakboyz, who both have beaten the Dragons, so the Dragons play against Hit List and the Phenoms/Oakboyz go at it again. At the top of the heap, Famlossal will try to avenge a week one overtime loss to Members Only, for the #1 seed and an advantage heading into the first round of the playoffs. The playoff structure has been altered slightly so that the #1 seed is not forced into a bye in the first round. All the other winners of the first round will need to play a doubleheader that day, thus giving the #1 seed an advantage, when advancing. Teams that did not finish .500 or better in the regular season will be one-and done. Doing this not only gives the #1 seed an advantage, but also ends our playoffs by the end of August, without any interruption by the Labor Day holiday. FRI 7/23 (3:30PM) -- See the singular update to the roadmap on the righthand side of the table. TUE 6/22 (4:30PM) -- We have 7 teams again. It was going to be 8, but Redunkulous turned out to be not qualified for this division. I think we may be one of the only few leagues out there that will move a team out of a division if there's a glaring issue with that. Done that now twice this season. Anyways, with 7 teams you can't mathematically have all 7 teams play 7 regular season games. The team that will only play 6 regular season games will be ReDream Team. They are scorekeeping for their franchise fees anyways (Deputy Commish Wylie's team). Luckily one team gets a bye each week. Seems like every team wanted a bye at some point. You'll notice that certain teams have already locked down their byes. That means that group of teams playing along with that team having a bye on any given week, cannot move that block to another week due to the bye team needing that Sunday as a bye.
