MONTREAL MASTERS BOTB - DAY 7 PREVIEW
I will be going away for a week from Sunday, probably having to leave before the Final has finished. Bethan will upload the final results to the site at the end of the tournament but this is probably the last of the 'syndicated' reports for Montréal.
It also means that it will not be possible to update the overall year-round BOTB rankings for over a week but they will be updated before US Open entries open and I will post here and on botb1 twitter once they are available.
Anyway, here's a report on the effects of the Final before it happens - oddly enough, the top of the teams table gets shaken up more if Muzza wins but the top of the individual table gets shaken up more if Potty wins!
TEAMS OUTLOOK
If Potty wins the Final, the top 4 will remain the same as they are now (BT.net 1st followed by Rusedski.co.uk, AM.com & TAT, i.e. the top four in the pre-Montréal overall rankings sharing the top 4 places in Montréal between them!) and Tennisopolis will finish last.
However, if Muzza wins, AM.com will win the Montréal teams league with BT.net 2nd, JM.org 3rd & Rusedski.co.uk 4th, and the Feddies (who all picked Rogi to win) will finish last.
INDIVIDUALS OUTLOOK
If Muzza wins, then as described just above the column headings on the main table, the tiebreak (only used to split the top three at the very end of a pick 'em if the main tiebreak can't) will come into operation and Randall Six (IN) will finish in 1st place with Fiercehart (TA) 2nd and Fishflaps (MP) 3rd.
Indeed, all of the current top 10 will remain the same in this case except that Smidster (BT) will drop 35 to 37th and those below him will move up a place, allowing -David-- (AM) to finish in the top 10.
If Potty wins, Jack Buxton (BT), who went down from 7th to 20th after the SFs where he only got 1/2 correct, will roar back up to finish 1st by a point from MrInvisible (CC), who was not even in the top half two day ago and even now is down in 33rd, with Randall Six (IN) taking 3rd on the second tiebreak rule, Fiercehart (TA) & Fishflaps (MP) finishing 4= (since the second tiebreak rule does not apply outside the top three), francky (RG) moving up to 6th and the rest of the current top 7 filling the last four places in the final top 10.
The Final is going to have a big effect on almost everyone's final position, even those who did not pick either player, so good luck ... especially if you picked Muzza like I did! LOL
See you for the US Open BOTB pick 'em - entries will open on Friday 28 August! and post-Montréal overall rankings will be available by then - see the start of this post.
