[CI] Unofficial Analysis following Game 9

[Mark Brader]

 Unofficial Analysis

 [0] Disclaimer

     This analysis was performed by a human and is subject to
     human error.

 [1] I Do Not Think it Means What You Think it Means

     It is assumed to be inconceivable that one team will outscore
     another in Game 10 by 30 points if they are in contention for
     the same position.

 [2] Bloor St. Irregulars

     The Irregulars have clinched the Torquemada Division
     championship.  They are in the Final.

 [3] Ad Hawks & Doves

     Not only have the Ad Hawks & Doves clinched the Jaworski
     Division championship, they already had it clinched after
     Game 8.  They are in the Final.

 [4] The other team

     In is inconceivable that any team except the Irregulars will
     have the most points.  Therefore the third team in the Final
     will be the second-place team in the Torquemada Division.

     [4.1] 5 Easy Pieces have an outside chance to get in the Final.
           This happens if, and only if, in Game 10:
               (A) they beat the Misplaced Modifiers;
               (B) the Usual Suspects beat What She Said; *and*
               (C) Unnatural Axxxe beat MI5.

     [4.2] Otherwise, either MI5 or What She Said are in:
               (A) If one of them wins Game 10 and the other does not,
                   the one that wins is in.
               (B) If one of them ties in Game 10 and the other loses,
                   the one that ties is in.
               (C) If they both lose (but the Mods win or tie),
                   or both tie, or both win, then it depends on
                   points scored in Game 10.  What She Said must
                   outscore MI5 by 5 points to get in; otherwise
                   MI5 are in.

 [5] Promotion and Relegation

     Five Guys Named Moe earned promotion to the Torquemada Division
     before sitting out to set questions and therefore in the new
     season, with the Bloor St. Irregulars setting questions, the
     Moes will replace them in the Torquemada.

     Therefore if no teams enter or leave the league, Footloose &
     Firkin Free will be relegated to the Jaworski Division (anything
     else is inconceivable) and, of course, the Ad Hawks & Doves
     will be promoted to the Torquemada.
