Hahahah just as expected!

Does this mean she's in the Chart Championship now?

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

No! It would do if this was an actual league system, but since it's more like two conferences (a la the MLS, though that doesn't have relegation), the consequences are very different. What exactly they are will be revealed on Monday.

(Yes, I understood. I was just being silly. Maybe losers will be relegated to the teenpop thread.)

Forced to be the motivational dancer during a post-rock set at the next Poptimism!

I wrote a big long edit of this with the implications of the reveals and LJ crashed :(

SO. Very quickly.

Inhibitorylinks needs to draw or win to make sure of the title. If he loses and Xyzzz wins, it's 'goal difference' which decides (he has a big advantage here too). Some bookies have already paid out.

Two play off places: xyzzz, alexmacpherson and strange_powers have 19, 18 and 18 points and are well placed for them - xyzzz definitely gets one if he wins, the others might go to goal difference.

If 2 out of those 3 lose and dubdobdee wins, he's got a play-off chance. He's on 16.

Zenith has a very slim mathematical chance.

Everyone else can finish 5th at most but of course there's pride to play for!

Damn, so close to winning the title (would really be hilarious! I would probably spin out all of my Borbetomagus LPs to celebrate, maybe re-consider 'Songs our mother taught us', just the title of that one has certain 'poptimist implications' lolz!)

Shouldn't grumble, as I'm in this odd position of either winning or ending up with absolutely nada, not even a play-off!

Possibly worse than relegation is the accusation that Kat likes "dance music for people who don't want to quite admit that they're into dance music". Don't take that one lying down! ;-)
