§ Judgement rule

How will the final result of the question be determined?

Modify Final result
This will be for the wildcard team with fewest points. So it omits the three top teams in each division + the higher point wildcard team. Other will pay off if an unlisted team gets this slot or there is no declared second second wildcard (eg playoffs are cancelled). Although the regular season ends on April 18th, should a team clinch the second wildcard position, all trading after that time will be refunded. The expiry time may also be revised if game times change (and some bets may need to be refunded). There is more info in the Wiki HT: Garret for suggesting this question
