Well week four is over and now itâ��s time to crunch some numbers. In the World League Team Pentax holds there own destiny. Sitting a 4-0, one more win would crown them the World Division champions but would need to win out (6-0) to guarantee them a bye week by having the best win / loss percent. If Team Pentax stumbles and looses one of the two remaining weeks and if The Magnificent 7 wins the next two weeks; with their high average The Magnificent 7 could win the Global Division and have the important bye week.

But lets donâ��t forget Team 20D, they are sitting in a good position along with Team Outcasts. Both sitting at 3-1 could win out and create a three-way tie in the Global Division. If that happens then The Magnificent 7 would win the Global Division on their high average. Leaving Team 20D and Team Outcasts fighting for the wildcard spot.

Now that we are on the subject of the wildcard spot it is very important to Team Outcast that Team 20D looses at least one of the two remaining weeks because of their deficit in average of â��0.3401 or they have a very good scoring week and Team 20D chokes and has a low scoring week.

Now to the spoiler roll. The Olympians (sorry to say) are mathematically out but can play the spoiler roll. In week 5 they play Team Nikon, which needs to win both remaining weeks to have a shot at Team Pentax. So Team Nikon is not out but has to rely on some help from other teams and keep focused because the spoiler team can bite you when youâ��re not looking.

And last but not least donâ��t forget any of the teams that are 2-2 they all have a mathematical shot at a division title and are in the wildcard chase as well.

Two weeks to go and the drama is starting to unfold. Every team should give it there all these last two weeks.

Very interesting scenario but I think the outcast will struggle against Team Pentax thus leaving the Magnificent 7 and Team 20D on top with the Iceland team having the better percentage.

And this is where we may suffer as then from my understanding will we probably be fighting against the Nikon team for the wildcard and at the moment we both are very close percentage wise.

Scott is this how the wildcard is determined the highest percentage from both groups who didnâ��t finish on top?

Oh I am so glad we still would have beaten team Nikon even if they hadnÂ´t gotten a DQ penalty, would have sucked to win them like that...

Anyway, seems we are on a roll, who is next to be crunched by the MAGNIFICENT 7!!!

No way! I should have my highest scoring entry against them this week and from the looks of it they are all going on vacation. :P Heck if we get a landscape challenge this week forgettaboutit! :P

ETA: Ok maybe some wishful thinking but I think we can take the two or three guys they have going this week. ;)

My ClichÃ¨ shot is doing pretty well, and my DPC Cinema is gonna be a rocker if I can execute it properly... so hopefully i'll have some strong entries!

I did my part this past week. You guys are gonna pull us through against Team Pentax, since I'm pretty sure we don't want to have to count either the 5.0 or 4.7 I have showing right now, do we? (At least I'm reliably inconsistent!) C'mon, Skip - your turn to shine! And Bear, can you throw in a marsh with a skiff, a sunset, a woody, and a ducky, all shot through a wine glass?

WTG Team OUTCASTS. We're the masters at squeaking by! Unfortunately, "squeaking" don't win tiebreakers, so we have at best a tenuous grip on a post-season slot. And this week is not treating me well at all (bitter disappointment in the Free Study, no decent sunsets during the 48-hour window). So we got another battle on our hands. I'm heartened to see some of our other team members speaking up in here with good current scores, and I hope our resident professional photojournalist deigned to enter that challenge and strut his stuff...

Go, team, GO!
