Here's the bracket we'll use... so Turnup, 4thstreet and Gordontrue all get byes. And only seeds 6-11 play in the first week.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Playoff Outlook:

This week
8 vs. 9 = Hornsstampede vs. ArizonaSting

7 vs. 10 = ThruTheEyes vs. LoneGranger

6 vs. 11 = Jim Doors vs. Sportsguy

Next week
Bksballer and Logic play in the 4-5 matchup.

1 seed TurnUpTheHeat plays the winner of the 8-9 game.

2 seed 4thstreet plays the winner of the 7-10 game.

3 seed Gordontrue plays the winner of the 6-11 game.

So next week it will be trimmed down to 8 teams.

And I thought I wouldn't survive the first week of the playoffs

If indy doesn't win tmr or on wed, lone granger may forfeit his match

 

[logic]

If indy doesn't win tmr or on wed, lone granger may forfeit his match

If the Pistons lose to the 76ers and Bucks in consecutive games can they get the #1 pick by default?
