Rank	Team	Actual	Optimal	Eff%	Process%	Left on Bench	Bold Calls	Bold Net	Grade

Optimal is the best possible lineup from the full roster under the league's real slot configuration (using each player's ESPN slot eligibility). Eff% = actual ÷ optimal (outcome). Process% grades the decision instead of the outcome: the projected points of the lineup that was started ÷ the best lineup by projection — so starting a stud who got hurt early doesn't count against the manager. Bold Calls = starting a lower-projected player over a higher-projected eligible bench alternative (ESPN weekly projections stand in for consensus PPR rankings, which aren't in ESPN's feed); a call wins when the starter outscores the alternative, and Bold Net is the points gained or lost on those calls. Grade blends Eff% and Process%.

🥊 The Playoff Melee

📜 How the Melee works

Six teams qualify: the top four seeds by overall record, plus the two highest regular-season point totals among everyone else. Wins and losses no longer matter — each playoff team's scores across the three playoff weeks are tallied, and only raw, unfiltered scoring prowess wins here. Seeds get a one-time bonus to tilt the field: #1 gets 25 points, #2 gets 20, then 15, 10, 5, and the #6 seed gets nothing. Highest Final Point Total after Week 3 takes the title. Non-playoff teams: save your waiver moves for next year.
