First, we want to wish everybody a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones! Remember the extra games on Thursday and Friday this week<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contender League Playoffs Begin Now<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Week 12 was an all-play week, where the top six scoring teams in your league get a “win” and the bottom six a “loss”. And thus ends the Contender league regular season.<\/p>\n\n\n

Check your league standings page<\/a> now to see if you made the playoffs. Like most DataForce leagues, the two division winners make the playoffs and receive byes in the first playoff week (week 13); the next two teams with the best win\/loss record make the playoffs; and the two remaining teams with the highest point totals make the playoffs. You can learn more about DataForce playoff seedings by clicking the yellow HELP button at the top left of the standings page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 13 is intra-league playoffs, cutting down the number of playoff-bound teams in your own individual league from 6 to 4. Then, your league and your three sister leagues join in a 4-week head-to-head matchup to determine the overall champion. In all, sixteen teams advance to the Contender playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Win through week 14 and you’ll win money! Keep winning and you win more money! The more you win, the more you win!<\/p>\n\n\n

If you’re streaming quarterbacks or tight ends, that’s going to get a bit more difficult after this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several exceptions to this rule:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
