How are these simulations calculated? β–Ύ

10,000 Monte Carlo simulations of the remaining 21 regular-season rounds are run. For each simulation, every remaining matchup is decided by drawing a score for each team independently from the league-wide scoring distribution (based on all scores across the current season). Both teams use the same distribution, making each game approximately a 50/50 coin flip β€” so probabilities are driven almost entirely by the current ladder standings.

After simulating the regular season, teams are ranked by league points (4 per win, 2 per draw), with total points scored as the tiebreaker. The top 4 teams qualify for finals.

Finals use the McIntyre double-chance format over 3 rounds:

  • Week 1: Qualifying Final (1st vs 2nd) + Elimination Final (3rd vs 4th). The EF loser is out.
  • Week 2: Preliminary Final β€” QF loser vs EF winner. Loser is out.
  • Week 3: Grand Final β€” QF winner vs PF winner.

Top 2 teams get a double chance β€” they can lose the qualifying final and still reach the Grand Final via the preliminary final. GF% is the chance of making the Grand Final. Champ% (Dawnbreaker) is the chance of winning it.
