Cali DFS: two chairs vanished, and a strike is now 2-in-9
vu-INAL and dan-8EDQG are out of the season pot. Nine teams remain. Two strikes still land every week, so a strike is 2 in 9. The weekly $55 is still open to all eleven.

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
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
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.
