watching rol at work in the google sheet,ha,what do the numbers mean on the right rol

damn boneark has me if washington win,come on seattle,

The numbers on the right show by how much people were off. For example, if someone predicted that HOU would win by 10 points, they'll have a "4" next to their prediction, because HOU won by 6 points. The points differentials for all four games will be tallied up and only come to use, if both players have the same record. insomniac17 and chocoloco will need this tie-breaker and are guaranteed to win it.

For those too lazy to look up the spreadsheet:

insomniac17, chocoloco, superchunk and noname2200 will go to the Divisional Playoffs. Their respective opponents (SaviorX, Mendicate Bias, ljigga and NinjaBlade360) have no chance for the lucky loser spot anymore, so their elimination is already certain.

The other three matchups have all six players with a 3-0 record so far. Kenology (WAS) vs. amp316 (SEA) and BoneArk (WAS) vs. zuvuyeay (SEA) are clearcut decisions. Level1Death and I picked WAS, so it will come down to points differential totals and be really close.

As for the lucky loser spot, if WAS wins, it will go to Level1Death or me. If SEA wins, it will go to BoneArk.

Why am I guaranteed to lose when me and chocoloco have different score predictions for the last game?
