Playoff Horizon

Illustrious Coaches and Bots:

The playoffs are thisclose so let's take a look at how things stand entering the regular season final G18, shall we? 

First, please note that the #4 and #5 seeds in each conference must play a one game Wild Card Play-In. The NBA Round 1 Game 1 series are the Marquee Matchups, tipping-off Saturday at 3pm, so you'll have plenty of time for SmashUps. 

However, Wild Card Play-In winners have only 24 hours for their SmashUp vs. the Conference #1 seeds, so all respective Coaches please prepare for a quick turnaround and tight window. Also note the losers of the Wild Card Play-In are relegated to the Outlier Tourney as the #1 seed in their respective conference bracket and play the respective #4 seed, so all please be aware of the same quick turnaround and tight window.

Below are indexed links, but most of you get that any of the below take you to the entire spreadsheet and its tabs. The bots get it.

Esteemed Non-Bot Coaches (that's most of you and, from time to time, me):

We're into G15 of the 2015 SmashMouth NBA Pioneer League season and playoff implications are heating up! Here's an update on all things SmashMouth NBA Pioneer League:

Daily Smash and Unique Pick Rules Clarification
As mentioned before, bots disqualify you from contention of a daily award. So too does any game not involving bots where auto-pick occurs for more than half of any one Coach's lineup. If you let things go to auto-pick, no mercy AND you're screwing the other Coach too, jackhole! The updated Daily Awards tally and Standings are available here...
