I have worked out that my team and some others can end season on same win/lose record { for record 8 -8 } manual rules PDR over each other.. Q: my PD is smaller minus points, than other team, with a higher points gain. IE { -145 - 265 } but I have more TD FG points - 303 - 186 - - yet because the bot team I took over from, lost by so many.. my PDR is double the other team - so They would win WC place?

Maybe it's the language, I don't know. I don't get the question in detail.

Your team is 6-7 and will play 2 BOTs and a matured human team, so projected you will end up 2-1 on those games and 8-8 overall.
Your only competitor is 7-6 right now and will play a BOT and 2 human teams, both better than his. So projected wins on that schedule is 1-2 and also 8-8 overall.

Your PD (not PDR!) is right now better than his by roughly 40 points.
With your team winning two against BOTs this will likely only get better, since he will play only 1 BOT.

At the end, the PD will very likely decide who will get the #6 spot.
Your chances are right now way better than his.

yes but if you look more into the details,, another team is above me, BUT human has NOT played orders. I might take that spot or if the BOT team can make a winning end to season they might - also if you look at manual it was the PDR that counts!! but yes it can be close- - - - - - News u p d a t e the Ballers that I play next, have JUST went BOT - - - just looked - manual said about Cap and Uncap PDR { wasn't sure about this }

There are 7 human teams in the conference.

You are right now #7.
The BOTs below you you can ignore, their PD will be bad, even if they match your projected win total.
Your human competitors are right now #1 to #6.
You mean the team right now at #5? Ouija wizards.
They have 3 BOT games ahead of them, but might fall BOT in about a week.
They have 2 wins ahead of you and might finish 3-0 to 0-3.
That will change the playoff seatings eventually, but will not change YOUR chances.
The team right now at #6 is likely to miss the playoff, but has a slim chance to get #6 and you get #5, if that #5 team does finish 0-3. If they gain just one single win, they are set for playoffs at #5.
Two scenarios can happen. They stay as human team, for that they would need to log in before the last gameday. Or they fall BOT before last gameday.
The 2 games prior that are a toss up with a slightly better chance for them as for the BOT.
If they stay human, the 3rd is also a toss with a bit better for the human team, if they fall BOT, the BOT vs BOT game is a 50/50 toss.
The chance they get ONE win out of those 3 is quite high, but you never know.

No, PDR does NOT count.
From the manual:
"Why do we have Points difference twice ("real", PFR, PAR, PDR)?
From season 20 we will cap the outcome of a games Points forced and Points allowed, and therefore the Points Difference will cap as well. This capped PD is the one we are using for calculating tie-breakers. While the PD column in the tables of a league is capped, the columns Points Forced Real and Points Allowed Real are uncapped, therefore the column Points Difference Real is uncapped as well. The cap is at 60 for league games. Only regular league games will face this virtual cap."
I highlighted the important one.
Peter did introduce at that time PDR (and the other xyR columns) to keep the real scored points and so on in the table, but he did cap the outcomes at 60 points difference and that did go into the original columns, including PD.
And THAT is used for tie-breaker.
PDR and so on is just for stats geeks.

yes also 2 BOT teams below, MIGHT gain 8-8 record.. as we are a ' new' team { took over with a 3-7 week 10 } it could be tight finish to end of season. cheers - - Wizard now BOT
