Ottawa Green":2kh1lng8 said:CHAMPIONS :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
First trophy for the Ottawa Fury crowned as the fall champions after a 3-1 victory in Jacksonville, they can get the combined championship with Cosmos and Minnesota either losing or drawing their games this weekend, or a Fury victory in their last game of the season on Oct 31.

Winning the fall championship means Ottawa will be host to one of the playoff semi final games, if they are the overall champions they would host the NASL championship game if they won their semi final game.
Ottawa Green":2h6lmv96 said:OK i will try and explain it, there is no promotion, there is no relegation, but there is a champion, to be the champion you have to win the playoffs, to get in the playoffs there are 4 ways to be one of the 4 teams who make the playoffs.
Remember the NASL season is made up of 2 seasons, (1, a spring season, consisting of 10 games, 1 game against each of the other 10 teams and 2, a Fall season made up of 20 games home and away against the other 10 teams)
The winner of the spring season (NY Cosmos) gets one spot in playoffs, the winner of the fall season (Ottawa Fury) gets the 2nd spot, the other 2 spots, the two teams that have the best combined records (Spring and Fall Season) – and that didn’t win either the Spring or Fall Season –
Better explanation here

The winners of the 2 seasons will host the home games in the 2 semi finals, the seeding for the 4 spots will be based on the standings in the combined standings of the 2 seasons, currently it would be
1. Ottawa Fury
2. NY Cosmos
3. Minnesota United
4. Fort Lauderdale Strikers.
The only other team who could make the playoffs is Tampa Bay Rowdies who are 2 points behind Fort Lauderdale with both teams having 2 games to play.
Simple right :lol: :lol:
1 Ottawa Fury FC 29 55
2 New York Cosmos 29 53
3 Minnesota United FC 29 52
4 Tampa Bay Rowdies 29 39
5 Fort Lauderdale Strikers 29 38
6 FC Edmonton 30 35
7 Indy Eleven 29 33
8 Carolina RailHawks 29 32
9 Atlanta Silverbacks 29 32
10 Jacksonville Armada FC 29 31
11 San Antonio Scorpions 29 30
Ottawa Green":3g1owdv9 said:The Fury will have to wait until saturday to see if they are crowned the combined champions as both Minnesota and the NY Cosmos won their games this past weekend, a outright win by the Fury away to Atlanta will clinch the championship a draw should be enough as they have a better goal differential to the Cosmos.
Fury are 2 points ahead of BY and 3 ahead of Minnesota.
Code:1 Ottawa Fury FC 29 55 2 New York Cosmos 29 53 3 Minnesota United FC 29 52 4 Tampa Bay Rowdies 29 39 5 Fort Lauderdale Strikers 29 38 6 FC Edmonton 30 35 7 Indy Eleven 29 33 8 Carolina RailHawks 29 32 9 Atlanta Silverbacks 29 32 10 Jacksonville Armada FC 29 31 11 San Antonio Scorpions 29 30
Ottawa Green":3b9bo076 said:Nope all it means is the highest team in the combined season has the home advantage for the playoffs and final.
Once this weekend is over the 4 teams that are in the playoffs will be seeded on the basis of the combined season, so as of right now the seeds would be 1. Ottawa, 2 NY Cosmos, 3. Minnesota, 4. Tampa, and the playoffs would be 1 v 4, 2 v3. The highest seed left will host the final
So to make it clear ottawa and NY Cosmos have the home advantage for the 2 semi final games because they won the fall and spring season
Only the Yanks could complicate something so simple.
