Note to self: Consider shortening the week to 5 days so that we literally don't have to have any matches on the weekend.

Abysmal vote totals today, like historically bad.

I was hoping we could get a big dog to lose with these awful votals, but FFT survived. Bleh.

FFT also clinches the Sonic Overload Conference title with that win. It is the first game to clinch its conference in this tournament.

Paper Mario technically clinched because even if it loses next week, it wins the tiebreaker over G/S/C because it won head-to-head. FFT just clinched outright and no tie is possible.

Paper Mario hasn't clinched if it's knocked unconscious before it can accept the award!

And if GSC is good at anything, it's causing "fainting".

Yeah, I was kind of wondering where all the Disgaea voters had been before, but that's a good point, the votals have been way down.

Dynasty Warriors and No Mercy wins!!!

--Warped crashes into the catcher to score the Ken Griffey Jr.'s Winning Run far superior baseball game

haha, I agree.

So what are Goldeneye's last two opponents? Hopefully it can make it to .500 (who could have guessed that would be a legitimate question)

There is no baseball game that I have ever played that is superior to MVP Baseball 2005 and I have played over 50. Also Leon, you can't make that judgement because you said yourself that you have never even played MVP Baseball 2005!

I don't need to play it to know Ken Griffey Jr.'s Winning Run is a far superior baseball game.

As is Baseball Simulator 1000

MMX has been doing pretty well, but I dunno about the rest. MM2 started off very well, but it's been terrible over the second half of the season.

Might as well throw yesterday's results to the wayside as far as actual rankings go because of the horrific vote totals. Regardless, Super Mario Galaxy and Portal clinch their conference titles.

Brawl for Broke has three games with legit chances to win the conference next week. I'll go over those scenarios once I get the Top 25 voting topic going.

Tiebreaker scenarios for Brawl for Broke:

Week 29 matches for the games involved:

Super Smash Bros Brawl - Viewtiful Joe
Valkyria Chronicles - Yoshi's Island
Xenogears - Tales of Vesperia

If all of them win (or if all of them lose): Super Smash Bros. Brawl would win the conference based on having the best overall record.

If Brawl loses and VC/Xenogears win: Xenogears wins due to head-to-head win over VC

If VC loses and Brawl/Xenogears win: Brawl wins due to head-to-head win over Xenogears

If Xenogears loses and Brawl/VC win: VC wins due to head-to-head win over Brawl

And naturally, if any two lose, the one that wins will win the conference due to having the best conference record outright.

Brawl has the easiest road since it has the easiest opponent to beat next week and it owns most tiebreaking scenarios, but VC and Xenogears have legit shots at it regardless! We'll see what happens.

There, that looks better, since all three losing would create a four-way tie at 9-2. Tales of Vesperia would actually claim third place in any scenario where it beats Xenogears except for the one where VC loses and Brawl wins, in which case Brawl wins outright, Xenogears takes second place due to its overall record, and VC gets third on its head-to-head win over ToV.

That would look better if that were the tiebreaker.

So head-to-head record only applies if one game has beaten all of the other games it's tied with? Seems harsh.

Pretty sure "having a slightly better record against games you're tied with" isn't an actual NCAA tiebreaker though.

Head-to-head record is always the first tiebreaker. When there are two games, it's easy. When there are three games, it's slightly tougher, because there's the possibility of all three being 1-1 against the other two. When there are four, though, unless it's 2-1/2-1/2-1/0-3, it's pretty easy again. You take the head-to-head record of all games in the tied teams, and determine the winner that way.

Just one of many.
