So, as we do each season around this time, Scoot and I got to thinking about how the standings could move around depending on the numerous outcomes from next Tuesday. So we sat down and came up with what is listed below.The highest each team could move next week after the position round, provided "perfect conditions" take place (and by "perfect conditions" we mean that your team sweeps and the teams above end their matchups in the most advantageous way to allow your team to move up in the standings):1. Will Strike if ProvokedHighest: 1st place, of course, since they currently lead the league with 18 wins. They'd be at 22.Lowest: 5th place, due to a total pins tie breaker. If they get swept by Dragon Balls, the 3rd vs. 4th place matchup splits, and Three Strikes and You're Out wins 3 games or more.2. Dragon BallsHighest: 1st place, with a 3-1 win over Will Strike if Provoked and Murder, He Wrote not sweeping Snakes on a Lane.Lowest: 5th place, if they get swept or lose 3 to Will Strike if Provoked, Murder and Snakes split 2-2, and Three Strikes wins three.3. Murder, He WroteHighest: 1st place, if they sweep Snakes on a Lane and Dragon Balls wins three.Lowest: 5th place, if they get swept by Snakes, and Split It and Hit It either sweeps or wins three.4. Snakes on a LaneHighest: 1st place, if they sweep Murder, He Wrote and Dragon Balls win three.Lowest: 6th place, if they get swept by Murder, He Wrote and Split It and Hit It wins three.5. Three Strikes and You're Out!Highest: 2nd place, by total pins, if they sweep Split It and Hit It, Dragon Balls wins either two or three, and neither Snakes or Murder sweep one another.Lowest: 6th place, if swept by Split It and Hit It.6. Split It and Hit ItHighest: 3rd place, if both Will Strike if Provoked and Snakes on a Lane sweep their opponents while Split It sweeps in their own matchup. Lowest: 7th place, if they get swept by Three Strikes and You're Out! and Brunk Enough to Dowl sweeps Ballz Out.7. Brunk Enough to Dowl Highest: 6th place, if they sweep opponents Ballz Out and Split It and Hit It fail to win a single game in their matchup against Three Strikes and You're Out!Lowest: 7th place, even if they are swept by opponents Ballz Out.8. Ballz OutHighest: 8th place, even if they sweep Brunk Enough to Dowl they will be at 9-23 to Brunk's 10-22.Lowest: 8th place.Good luck to everyone! Who knows what next Tuesday will bring.
