Week 6 did the paperwork. **vu-INAL** and **dan-8EDQG** took their third strikes and walked out of the season-long pot. Nine teams remain. From Week 3 through Week 16 this league still stamps the two lowest eligible scores. That used to feel like 2-in-11 with a couple of already-wounded names in the mix. It is not that anymore. A strike is now **2 in 9**.

The two eliminated entries did not get sent home. They can still win the weekly $55\. They just cannot eat a strike slot, and they cannot finish anywhere in the season pot. The weekly prize is still half of the $110 buy-in. The other half still feeds a season pot that just lost two chairs.

## The new math

Weeks 3–16 still hand two strikes. Only teams still eligible for the season pot can receive one. Eliminated low scores do not steal a strike from the nine who remain.

KaeptainMICHAEL cashed the Week 6 check on 130.00\. Twomp finished 4.34 back at 125.66\. That is last week's story, and it is closed. This week's story is a smaller room and the same two trapdoors.

## Who is actually in danger

Reconciled to the Week 6 final recap and the Google tracker. Third strike removes a team from the season-long pot only. The weekly $55 stays open.

gary-41TUQ is the only name still alive with two strikes. That is not a cushion. That is a folding chair on a trapdoor. Jon-12N2G7 and sjslacker each carry one. The clean-sheet six — KaeptainMICHAEL, Twomp, hieu-3S3PB, VoBster, steven-4MF6E, Daniel-1A2JAF — get the new 2-in-9 odds like everybody else. A zero in the strike column is not a hall pass.

vu-INAL already collected the weekly money in Weeks 1, 4, and 5, then left the season pot on 94.20\. If that entry wants a consolation prize, the $55 window is still open. dan-8EDQG finished Week 6 at 73.82, last by 20.38, and sits in the same weekly-only club. A last-place lineup can still cash a week if the names hit. The season pot is the thing that closed.

## Thursday night, then the rest of the noise

The Week 7 contest is still upcoming. Eleven entries are in. Public lineups were blank Thursday afternoon, which is either patience or a league waiting until the last legal second to pretend it has a read on Patriots at Bears. Kickoff is 5:15 p.m. Pacific. That is the first window, not the whole slate. Sunday still has the volume. Monday still has the receipt.

Do not treat this as a locked recap. Nobody has a Week 7 score. Nobody has a Week 7 strike. The only locked facts are the two empty season-pot chairs and the 2-in-9 math.

## Call

Gary's two-strike seat is the ugliest chair in the room until somebody else trips. The rest of the nine should stop talking like 2-in-11 still exists. It does not.
