Week Thirteen Results

Before we focus on how this week's result affect the Round of Four - we will first focus on Division Shield and Weekly Championship Glory. There was only one outright winner of a Divisional Shield this week, with the rest being tied apart from the Conference USA which had all of its games cancelled.

Despite having been eliminated from the overall standing last week - Shania Twain claims the Big Ten Conference Division Shield this week.

The weekly standing would see Blaze forget to complete his prediction, although no longer being present in the Overall Standings this wasn't the biggest whoopsie. Shania would sit at the bottom of the weekly result, seeming to fit inline with not having advanced in last week's elimination round. It would a week that both HoHo and MyPrerogative would start to mount on the pressure, whilst Juice would slip and perform the worst out of the Round of Four participants. This weeks winner is proving to be the Most Value Predictor - as Chris sits on top of the standing to claiming the Weekly Prediction Championship for the fourth time this season.

​

Week Thirteen	Wins	Losses	PCT
Chris	31	10	0.756
HoHo Kimura	29	12	0.707
MyPrerogative	29	12	0.707
Juice	26	15	0.634
Shania Twain	24	17	0.585

Chris and Juice share the spoils this week as went 9/11 in the No Affiliation Conference to share the spoils and claim five points each for sharing 1st place, because of the tie My Prerogative is pushed down to third position and claims one bonus point, whilst HoHo fails to claim a bonus point.

HoHo claims the spoils to become the first winner of the Western Conference with a total of 8/12 and claims five points, Chris finishes just behind with 7/12 claiming three points and third position is held jointly by Juice and My Prerogative meaning that they both earn a point each.

The Eastern Conference is shared by MyPrerogative and Chris who both went 15/18 and by doing so the pair each pick up five points, with the tie resulting in HoHo who went 14/18 being pushed down to third and only claiming one bonus point, whilst Juice fails to claim a bonus point.

This has resulted in Chris's lead in the Round of Four increasing somewhat, whilst Juice's poor performance has made the battle to participate in the Championship to close to even speculate who is going to find themselves being eliminated at the end of next weekend. ​

Round of Four ​	Wins(+BP) ​	Losses​	Points Differential ​
Chris​	272​	86​	+28​
Juice​	250​	102​	+6​
HoHo Kimura​	244​	110​	0​
MyPrerogative ​	239​	113​	-5​

Week Fourteen will be the penultimate week this contest - and will be the last week in which previous results will matter. The Championship Round will see the final three predictors have their slates wiped clean, as they compete in all or nothing contest with the person with the most predictions correct at the end of play during Week Fifteen being crowned the NCAA 2020 Prediction Champion.
