Week 4

The board is empty, the simulations are unanimous, and Stacey is your week 4 champion. With zero games left and 13 points locked in, that 100.0% isn't optimism, it's arithmetic. Nobody left to pass her, nobody left to try. Congratulations, or whatever word you use when the math does all the work. How safe is she? As safe as it gets. Carson is tied at 13 with the same 13-point ceiling, which means in a different universe with tiebreaker chaos we'd be sweating. But the sims see no path, so Carson sits at 0.0% despite matching her score. Tied on points, not tied in reality. The rest of the field tops out at 12 or below, so they were mathematically eliminated the moment the last whistle blew. As for the single game that matters most: there isn't one. The "games that swing the week" section is as blank as the slate of remaining matchups, because swing requires an undecided outcome, and there are none. Every root-for-this, cheer-against-that scenario died when the clock hit zero. Nobody is rooting for anybody now except maybe Carson quietly rereading the tiebreaker rules. The dark-horse path back into it? I promised not to fabricate, and I intend to keep that promise. There is no path. Carson at 13 and ceiling 13 is the closest anyone comes, and "closest" here means "identical score, still losing." Braden and Brady at 12 would need points that no longer exist. File the comeback stories under fiction and hand Stacey the trophy.
