I think I can get a few more wins and probably avoid a relegation series but it depends on getting good draws.
The other advantage to doing well in the tourney is ranking which seems to help attendance a bit but focusing on the season can do the same thing, especially if you aim to do well in the playoffs (which is not a huge goal for me outside of making into them).
All that said, it looks like it'll be a long season, and I'm glad on the Great 8 side, Big 8 looks brutal.
