I know, and have acknowledged that the Shootouts have no bearing on the
NC$$ tourney. But it could have an effect on the HE standings and seedings and
this is what I was referring to. Conceivably the number in the wins comlumn
could decide who wins the regular season championship. This is the question
to which I was referring. In most leagues, wins are the second tiebreak,
following head-to-head. Where it is counted in league standings IS important.
