He needs to win again to try to get a bye<br \/>\nHans has tiebreakers over Seth. He has not played Shane. He lost to Paul, Josh, and Rishi<br \/>\nThe South team will feature 3 teams in the loser&#8217;s bracket<\/p>\n<p>Seth will likely lose tonight, meaning he has a one game lead in his division.<br \/>\n If Seth loses in week 13, three teams will be 7-6 in the North Division. Either TenQ, BQP, and Quince or TenQ, BQP and QBC. The loser of QBC and Quince will automatically go to the loser&#8217;s braket as the 3rd seed)<br \/>\nWith a win, Seth clinches his division.<br \/>\nHe has lost to Hans, Josh, and Shane. He has beaten Paul. Did not play rishi.<br \/>\nTherefore, if hans and seth win next week, Hans will clinch a bye.<\/p>\n<p>Shane has a one game lead in his division. If he wins, he clinches 1st place overall.  If he loses, and Hans and Seth win, Shane has a victory over Seth (he didn&#8217;t play Hans).<br \/>\nIf Hans, Seth, and Shane win, the order will likely be 1. Shane, 2. Hans, and 3. Seth (and Rishi will likely go to the loser&#8217;s bracket with a 7-6 record, losign the tiebreaker to loser of Paul\/Josh in week 13)<br \/>\nIf Shane loses, then the winner of the West will likely be<br \/>\n1.Paul if he wins (based on division record, 4-2 over Shane&#8217;s 3-3)<br \/>\n2.If Josh wins, then Paul will go to the loser&#8217;s bracket as the 1st or 2nd seed and there is a tiebreaker conundrum with Rishi, Josh, and Seth (these teams will have 3-3 division records with 1-1 records against one another) [what is the next tiebreaker?]<\/p>\n<p>Paul, can you validate our division?<\/p>\n<p>The outcomes for the QFL are a mess due to the North and the West divisions.
