Tout Wars H2H Standings Explained!
New standings are out for Tout Wars H2H. Brent Hershey, Jeff Zimmerman and Peter Kreutzer are tied for first, with 15-3 records.
This is a new league with a new scoring system, so this seems like a good time to review how games are won and lost.
Last week, after the first two H2H matchups, Hershey and Zimmerman were tied at 12-0. This meant that both had won more hitting categories than both their opponents, won more pitching categories than both their opponents, and won more overall categories than both their opponents.
Hitting, pitching and overall categories won in each week are worth two “games” each.
For instance, this past week, you can see in the HIT column, that Hershey won three hitting categories and Zimmerman won two. That means Hershey won two Games for the week, while Zimmerman lost two.
In the PIT column, you can see that Zimmerman won three categories, while Hershey won two. That means Zimmerman won two Games for the week, while Hershey lost two.
In the TOT column, you can see that both Zimmerman and Hershey won five categories each, and lost five categories each, so each receives one win and one loss for that week’s games, making their records for the week 3-3.
Add that to their 12-0 records and they go into contest four at 15-3.
Here’s how the week’s other contests went:
Doug Anderson beat Jeff Mans 4-2.
Peter Kreutzer beat Howard Bender 6-0. (Bender and Kreutzer had a bet on this one. Payoff was photo in front of Cafe Society in Half Moon Bay, where Howard lives.)
Jake Ciely beat Paul Sporer 4-2.
Stephania Bell beat Andrea LaMont 5-1.
Michael Beller beat Jeff Boggis 4-2.
New contests begin tonight! Here’s the schedule:
