INL* Standings after regular season:

PF = Planets For
PA = Planets Against
GF = Genocides For
GA = Genocides Against
MGF = Minutes in Genocides For
MGA = Minutes in Genocides Against

These are apparently the de facto official standings.

PREDICTION ACCURACY:
ENPN pre-season: 8-2 [Total for season: 30-8.]
ENPN mid-season: 9-1 [Total for season: 31-7.]
sunscreamer pre-season: 7-2-1 [Total for season: 23-13-2.]


ANALYSIS:

xgolems remains the only INL* team _NOT_ to have been involved in a
genocide or forfeit.  This is unlikely to change in the play-offs.

In an ANALYSIS special feature, we look at everyone's pre-season
predictions for the end of the regular season!  How good were they?

[End-of-playoff prediction analyses come after the playoffs, of course...]


ENPN PREDICTIONS:

Well, we went 30-8 on individual game predictions.  Not too bad.

Most embarrassing were the 1-3 prediction for 4-0 Lagg U., and the 4-0
prediction for 1-3 The Armchair Admirals.  We also suffered some favoritism
with Deep Hurting, indefatigably predicting them to beat Lagg U.


sunscreamer PREDICTIONS:

Well, he went 23-13-2 on his predictions for individual games, deduced from
his predictions for team records.  Most embarrassing were his 0-4
prediction for 4-0 Lagg U, and his 0-4 prediction for 3-1 The LA Riot: "no
matter who these people are, they're hurting."  However, he called his
team, Hell's Bagels, right on the button at 2-2.


ZZnew guy PREDICTIONS: 

"...then IC should win the East, followed (in order) by TWNN, <XG or SS>,
<The other of those 2 or OTR>, and <the last of those three>."

On the button.


Hector PREDICTIONS:

")The Armchair Admirals  4-0

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho"

They went 1-3.

"(P.S.  Side Salad will beat Xgolems now that they have traitor scum Jaimie.
... First he's on our team, then he's on Olden Bears, now he's gone and
joined a cmu team.... sheesh)"

Also correct.


Mojo Riser PREDICTIONS:

"In the East, it will be a battle between the two good CMU teams and
the Team With No Name.  With luck, No Name will triumph.

In the West, The LA Riot will take second (even if Terence is the only
guy who shows up for games)"

Missed Illuminus Cartel in the East, but called The LA Riot perfectly.
However, one must assume that his first-place West team was probably not
Lagg U.


Washout PREDICTIONS:

"
4-0 Team with no name
4-0 Illuminous Cartel
4-0 Side Salad
3-1 xgolems
2-2 top rope

With Side Salad losing out in the tie breaker

(I really have no clue about which of the CMU teams are better.
This is just a wild guess.)"

Had the TWNN-IC tiebreaker wrong, and gave OTR an extra loss, but otherwise
accurate.


Summary: It would have been really interesting to see Off The Top Rope play
at The Armchair Admirals... those forfeiting losers.  Grrr.
