I did it out and I am probably wrong since I was the last two times but here is what I have

heat 359.09
damage 318.19
infamous 318.18
ironmen 301
legoion 293.
xfactor 244.54
dynasty 236.36
viscous 170.91
187 138.19
thunder 138.18
shock
cep

which means 187 plays heat ironmen legion viscous and has CEP in there group but does not play them

while it sucks because cep gets beat up and that hurts point differential ironmen legion and viscous are younger teams right in line with 187. They can be beaten. No more damage either that has 187s number and heat sometimes is flaky in prelims. I think 3-1 is a real possibility and who knows maybe a 2-2 with cep working some magic and actually doing something. I think its time to break through.

Karl,

For the most part I agree with your rankings. However, You've rounded along the way and there are a few ties - both Damage and Infamous have 318.1818 and both Seattle Thunder and upTon 187 cRew have 138.1818.

I be honest - I don't know how they break the ties. In the case of Damage/Infamous it doesn't really make a differences - they're either 2/3 or 3/2 - either way they play in the same bracket. However, in the case of Thunder and us it makes a difference as one team (9th seed) plays in one bracket and the other team (10th seed) plays in the other bracket.

I'll reach out to Chris and the team over at APPA to get a final word on this.

Thanks for the support.

Karl,

Having just reviewed the rule book for season ranking (section 6) it is fairly clear that Seattle Thunder will be ranked ahead of upTon 187 cRew based on rule 6.1.5 (more specifically 6.1.5.3.

So - it looks like our draw for Cup will be:

Damage
Infamous
x-Factor
Dynasty
187 cRew
Aftershock

and the other draw being:
Heat
Ironmen
Legion
Vicious
Thunder
CEP

The hits just keep on coming.

However, it is possible that a monkey wrench gets thrown into the mix if the PSP decides to allow other teams to enter the PRO division for World Cup as they have done in the past. I have heard that there are a few teams that might want to give it a go. This could mix up the seeding further.

[Fox4paintball]

It is my understanding that LA Infamous will be ranked ahead of Damage due to the fact that they've made finals twice and Damage has only made finals once.

Equally I believe Thunder will be seeded ahead of us (upTon 187 cRew) due to the fact that they've made Sunday once and we haven't.

Additionally I believe a monkey wrench will be thrown into the mix. A possible draw for upTon 187 cRew is:
Damage
Ironmen
Thunder
187 cRew
Mystery Team

And we'll get to play all 4 of the other teams in our bracket - meaning we'll get to play Thunder for the first time this year.

Still haven't played Heat, Shock or CEP though.

If there are three brackets and 15 teams are they taking 6 or 8?
I think that draw looks good for 3-1
