A look at scenarios for World Bowl XI with two weeks remaining…
F.C. Barcelona Dragons (5-3) – Need to win final two games to be certain of World Bowl berth. Can qualify with one win and combination of other results.
Frankfurt Galaxy (5-3) – Can clinch a World Bowl berth in Week 9 by beating Rhein. Victory in Week 10 could also clinch berth, depending on other results. Can qualify with two losses, pending outcomes of other games.
Rhein Fire (5-3) – Earn World Bowl berth with two wins. Can clinch in Week 9 with win against Frankfurt and a Scotland loss to Barcelona. Can qualify with one win in final two games, depending on other results.
Scottish Claymores (4-4) – Can clinch World Bowl berth by winning final two games, but need Frankfurt to win or lose each of its last two games to avoid a tie that includes the Galaxy. Then, World Bowl berth could depend on points differential against Barcelona.
Amsterdam Admirals (3-5) and Berlin Thunder (2-6) have been eliminated from World Bowl contention.
Tied teams separated by: 1. Head to head. 2. Points differential in games between tied teams.
