1) Playoff Predictions, Reviews:
Written: Give a short write up of one or multiple playoff matches. If completed before the airing of the sims have predictions, after if it is a review of the game.
Since we are past Wild Cards & Conference finals this will be mix of review of previous rounds and predictions for the Ultimus. Unsurprising to everyone the defending champions Orange County Otters will play against one of the best teams ever assembled in Juggernaut Yellowknife Wraiths that won 11 straight during regular season. Both teams had BYE in Wild Card series, as they won their respective conferences. In the meantime Hawks dispatched the Yeti in 31-0 shutout and Austin in their first postseason rodeo made it close, but fell to the favored Outlaws 26-33.
In the NSFC it looked like a potential upset after first half with Hawks leading 14-6, but it was all Wraiths in second half where they outscored their opponents 23-0. ASFC was closer and hard fought battle where Andrew Reese was player of the game despite losing effort, as he thrown over 300 yards with no picks and single TD, Otters however responded with balanced running game, which was enough for 3 TD to set the score at 21-16.
The anticipated final makes me wonder what kind of magic the king of playoffs otters will pull of this time, since they'll enter as underdogs, but somehow it's hard to see them as such, as they won so many titles, never missing postseason either. (217)
5) Stupid Tiebreaker!
Written: Got screwed by the tiebreaker into making the playoffs of getting a bye? Write about what happened and what it should have been as a tiebreaker?
I still have no clue why it was Yeti instead of Buthers playing in wild card spot, since the latter had both better point differential and scored more points. I guess something to deal with conference record, which seems weird at best, but oh well, potato sim strikes again. Instead let's focus on real victim which is NOLA missing the playoff the 7th straight year in the row. Let's find tiebreakers that would award this persecuted franchise a spot in the playoffs:
- reversed standings - duh, winning is too easy as apparent by Otters going into postseason every year, so let's see if they'd be able to do that if bottom 2 made it instead of top 3
- points against - defence wins championships so standings would look like this if this was determining factor:
1. Orange County Otters 233
2. Arizona Outlaws 291
3. New Orleans Second Line 327
4. San Jose SaberCats 338
5. Austin Copperheads 390
Seems just perfect, doesn't it?
Ok, that's harder than I thought, since other options don't look so good, of course wins are no good, neither are points for, point differential, home record or even away combined with conference/division shenanigans. I got another one, which would be really practical to promote activity since the losing streaks often discourage people so instead let's award the team with longest one at the season conclusion with automatic Ultimus seeding.

7) Next year
Written: If your team has been eliminated, why will the next year, or the year after that, be the year that your team is going to win the Ultimus or Ultimini.
I'd say this much that it's not fun to write next year prompt for 7th straight season, as this is the length of New Orleans Second Line drought, which would suggest looking at franchise history that another rebrand might be needed, but thankfully signs of improvement are already showing despite dreadful 6 loses in a row to end the season. The positive signs are that team is still really young, but this time the young guns are slowly turning into studs and the old guard is not relied upon at all, with Harrison playing his last snaps and Fyodo preparing for #4 WR role in his final year. Only Lo Rax should remain more than role player at DE. Swift, Francisco & Jones are entering their prime and defense will be once again a tier better with linebacker core close to the historical levels, cornerbacks are vastly improved too, though team could use some more safeties. OL tackles are secret weapon that hopefully will all other mentioned players will be enough to end this dreaded drought, that Fyodo really hopes to break in his final moments in the league. GMs are also a year more experienced, team has gelled and the team conviction is as good as ever that we are trending in the right directions and that S19 will be truly ours. (223)
