Round 1. No more futility of the week, no more domination of the week. From here on out it's win or fuck off. There were only two matchups in week 14: #3 Ethan vs #6 Jeff and #4 Derek vs #5 Stacey. The injury epidemic Jeff has been fighting all year struck again as Dalton went down early but even so he would've needed bigger games from some other guys to beat Ethan. The final score was 136.12 to 99.76 in favor of the three seed. The battle of the soon-to-be newlyweds saw Derek beating Stacey rather handily thanks to some anti-clutch performances by Amari Cooper and Dez Bryant as well as a rebirth of Eddie Lacy and another huge day from the Carolina defense. In the end the four seed Derek took the win over the five seed Stacey 156.82 to 115.60. It's only round 1 but so far this season is a repeat of last season which saw not one upset in the playoffs or the consolation rounds.
The playoffs really heat up this week as every team has a game. The marquee matchup is #1 DJ vs #4 Derek (the only team to beat DJ this year). DJ's week will start on Thursday with rookie phenom Todd Gurley. We also have #2 Heath vs #3 Ethan which is sure to be a thrilling game. Those four teams are the only ones left battling for the championship. The winners will play for the title next week. Who will taste the sweet flavors of ultimate domination? The fifth place game will be Stacey vs Jeff in a matchup that, of all the matchups this week, means the least. The consolation playoffs also begin this week as #7 Brian squares off with #10 Barr and #8 Jake plays #9 Seed. The winners of those two games will play for the first overall pick in the draft next week. The losers will play to avoid being the sucko.
This blog will serve as our history book for all things domination league.

Week 13
The domination of the week: Heath 189.54 -- 140.64 Stacey
Futility of the week: Derek for losing to Seed and scoring the lowest point total of the week.
What a final week of the regular season. Lots of points scored all around as each team surpassed 100. Seed scored the second lowest points of the week but was luckily playing Derek who registered the lowest. Seed's win and Barr's loss to Brian bumped Barr back down to 10th place. On the other end of the spectrum, in just three weeks, Heath has gone from 7th place to 2nd place as he's skyrocketed up the standings and into a first round playoff bye with DJ. His three game win streak along with every other playoff team losing this week and all but Ethan losing in the weeks prior made this possible. Could Heath go worst to first? DJ won again and is now 12-1 as he beat Jeff. And Jake pulled the upset over Ethan, racking up 170 points in his second straight victory.
With the final week of the regular season in the books the playoff matchups are as follows:
#3 Ethan vs #6 Jeff
#4 Derek vs #5 Stacey
With DJ and Heath on first round byes as mentioned earlier. The four teams in the consolation playoff will all have byes this week. They will compete in a two game playoff beginning next week and the matchups will be:
#7 Brian vs #10 Barr
#8 Jake vs #9 Seed
Good luck to everyone in the Domination League playoff. Only one will dominate.

Week 12
The domination of the week: Ethan 135.30 -- 99.72 Jeff
Futility of the week: Derek for scoring 166 in a losing effort to Jake.
One more week until the playoffs. This week saw tons of points scored, much to the dismay of Derek who put up an impressive 166 but was unfortunately playing Jake who dropped 194; second highest total of the season by any team. Luckily for him, the other two 7-4 teams lost as well as Jeff lost to Ethan and Stacey lost to DJ. DJ by the way still has only one loss on the season and is 11-1 at this point. A mark that will surely go down in history. The matchup of the week saw Heath beat Brian, securing his grip on a playoff spot, meanwhile Ethans win and the losses of all the 7-4 teams put all their records at 7-5. Barr is quietly on a two game win streak after beating Seed and has climbed out of the bowels of the league into 9th place. Heath is also quietly on a two game winning streak. With one week to go, the playoff teams are all locked, the only changes will be to the seeds of the teams. Congratulations to Jeff, Heath, Derek, Ethan, and Stacey. They will join DJ in the Domination League Playoffs, where anything can happen. Hopefully its a little more exciting than last year which saw the teams ending up in the same places they went into the playoffs.
The #1 pick in the 2016 draft will be scrapped for by the teams who missed the playoffs.

Week 11
The domination of the week: Derek 149.88 -- 89.02 Ethan
Futility of the week: Brian who failed for a second time to beat DJ.
Writing this weeks after the fact since the second loss of the year to DJ totally devastated me. Losing twice to DJ felt like what I assume having your virginity taken by a rapist feels like. Twice. But I digress. The playoffs loom large this week as the teams in places two through seven scramble to make the cut. The matchup of 2nd place Stacey vs 4th place Jeff saw Jeff come away with the victory. 7th place Heath put it to Seed in a convincing win while 5th place Derek absolutely walloped 3rd place Ethan. And yes, all those games had playoff implications, but the biggest story of the week was between two non-playoff teams. Barr vs Jake in a matchup where Barr dropped 158 points. Highest total of the week. He's locked out of the playoffs but a performance like that is as close to redemption as you can get.
I won't post the standings from this week because it would be too much work for me to figure out what they were since Stacey, Jeff, and Derek were all 7-4 at this point and Heath and Ethan were both 6-5. The top 6 were some order of those teams with obviously DJ in 1st. Brian fell to 7th place. Next week's matchup of the week will be Brian vs Heath, the then 6th and 7th place teams.
