The original lane assignment report (below) and as reported on the post-Week 24 standings sheet are wrong. Following is an explanation (for the record) of how the correct lane assignments were determined.
As we know, the winners of the first and second halves are supposed to play each other on Lanes 11-12. The remaining teams will be paired up based on adding together their points won in both halves. The point total summary is as follows:
Team Points won in 1st half
(From Week 12 results)Points won in 2nd half
(From Week 24 results)Total points won for the season 1 -- 2 Men & A Lady 41 45 86 2 -- Here for the Beer 51 50 101 3 -- KDN.com 39 50 89 4 -- Ray's Gang 48 42 90 5 -- Alley Oops 33 39.5 72.5 6 -- 3 Blind Mice 33 48 81 7 -- LOL 34 40 74 8 -- One Left 39 36 75 9 -- Vinnie & The Sue's 40 31.5 71.5 10 -- Strike Force 62 38 100
Separating out Teams #10 (first half winner) and #3 (second half winner), then sorting the rest by total points won, results in the following order:
Team Total Points Won 2 -- Here for the Beer 101 4 -- Ray's Gang 90 1 -- 2 Men & A Lady 86 6 -- 3 Blind Mice 81 8 -- One Left 75 7 -- LOL 74 5 -- Alley Oops 72.5 9 -- Vinnie & The Sue's 71.5
Using this sorted order, teams were paired up starting from the top. The overall lane assignments then are the following:
Lanes 11-12 13-14 15-16 17-18 19-20 Teams 10 vs. 3 2 vs. 4 1 vs. 6 8 vs. 7 5 vs. 9
