Requesting Statistical Assistance

Stay connected for news and updates

Hi, apologies in advance if this makes me look more ignorant than I've already come across in here, but I'm still trippin on a percentages puzzle posted by our friend PSUinBosston in last night's thread.  The assertion: If each year we play 3 teams from the other division (inter-divisional game) and we go on to win our division, Then we have a 50% chance of meeting one of them in a CCG rematch.  On the surface, it seemed sound enough to shut me up, but I think I need the input from Ibleedbluenwhite or one of BSD's other statisticians, b/c it doesn't feel right.  /venus'd

I think we learned late in the broadcast last night that results from inter-divisional games count toward Division champion standings.  They didn't specify how exactly (if intra-divisional games are tallied up first, then you move to inter-game results as a tie-break), but would it even matter?  Doesn't the chance of rematch actually dwindle the moment the result is posted, because one of us then has a blemish on our record?  Anybody have some good math insights?  Thanks.
