The Gauntlet
Last manager standing wins $400. One team out every week through Week 13.
All 14 teams start alive. Each week, the lowest weekly scorer among survivors is eliminated — one team out per week through Week 13, until a single survivor remains.
Forecast model: 40% season PPG + 60% last-3-week form, then nudged by remaining opponent strength (10% of the opponent's deviation from league average). The simulation walks week-by-week, eliminating the weakest opponent-adjusted score each round until one team remains.
Tiebreakers
If two or more living teams tie for the lowest weekly score, elimination is decided in this order:
- The team with the lower total season points-for (through that week) is eliminated.
- If still tied, the team whose single lowest-scoring starter scored the fewest points that week is eliminated.
- If still tied, compare the next-lowest starter, and so on down the lineup until the tie breaks.
Only one team is eliminated per week.
Per Article 9 of the Constitution, which governs in any conflict.
Projected vs Actual Eliminations
Per-week: the team the model forecasted to fall vs the team actually eliminated, plus the form and opponent-strength inputs behind each call.
No eliminations recorded yet. The forecast vs actual ledger will populate after Week 1.
