The end of a season isn't all fun and glory, however. Four teams from each division will be demoted to a lower level of divisions. The 8th seed in each conference is automatically demoted, and the 6th-ranked team from each conference competes with the 7th-ranked team from the other conference in a best-of-three relegation series. The fifth-ranked teams are safe, but they dont get a shot at the championship, either.

For the single-match eliminations, the team with the higher standing is given the home-court advantage. When there is a best-of-three series, the team with the better win-loss record has the home-court for the first match and for the tie-breaker (if a third game is necessary), and the lower-ranked team has the home-court for the second match.


I think this suggests that best W-L record would have HCA in the relegation matches. In this case, wouldn't NYJ and BMG be locked into HCA?

So if I finished 7th but have the better record, AND am lower ranked, that means I'd have HCA for all 3 games, right?

Or, not surprisingly, the game manual is wrong....

Indeed, in season 15, when UHR (7th in the Great 8, 10-12) had a better record than Nashville (6th in the Big 8, 9-13), Nashville still had HCA.

The game manual pretty clearly indicates this is wrong, but no one has ever accused BB of being self-consistent.

Hmmm....that was a while ago...

It will probably work in whatever way benefits Grubbses & Scrubbses this season.... :-)

Sounds like they should either fix the code or fix the manual.

lol, that's true. But can you guarantee them victory in them victory in the relegation POs? I wouldnt risk that if i could sitting in the ever--so-comfortable 5th place, or the nothing-to-lose 4th...

I just realized that the team I should be scheming with, if I had the energy, is EDH, not the Jests...


Color me confused.

Speaking of confused, I can't tell if ardain is trying to win or not? He's made more transactions then...well...me..
