Because I want to be more active on here, you get this first: #LUTI stats, entering the playoffs edition! #compsplatoon

With two of six teams advancing from each group, that's 82 teams in the playoffs across all divisions. (Technically div X group B hasn't been determined yet, and it's all but certain that Slide To Win! and Manshine will advance, but it's not impossible that something weird happens.) So of the 80 teams who have made the playoffs:
22 went 5-0 (and 2 went 4-0) in the group stage
29 went 4-1 (and 2 went 3-1)
25 went 3-2


Tiebreakers:
50 groups required no tiebreaker to determine playoff teams.
22 groups required one tiebreaker (h2h).
7 groups required a second tiebreaker (games won).
1 group (div 4 grp B) required a third tiebreaker (games lost).

Further down the standings, there was one position in one group that went all the way to the fourth tiebreaker, points scored. In div 9W, group D, three teams went 2-3. They all got one point in h2h. Two of those teams won 15 games and lost 17, and only the score tiebreaker determined who was 4th and who was 5th in that group.


The top teams in each div by average point differential per set, excluding forfeits:
X: TBD
1: Regular show (+299)
2: DistInkt (+328)
3: Daylight (+283)
4: Reload (+429)
5: Fruit Punch Sundae (+430)
6: The Phantom Squids (+338)
7:
🐢 (+342)
8: EWfish (+318)
9A: Nightcord at 25:00 (+393)
9W: Strictly Splatonic (+384)
10A: Cod in 4K (+479)
10W: Galactic Porpoise (+357)

Of the 160 teams in the playoffs, three had negative avg point differentials, the lowest being -62 by Error-Nautics. The lowest by a 5-0 team was +99, by Iridescent Mirage.


Finally - some reschedule week stats.
By the end, 1184/1205 sets were recorded. Of the remaining 21, 18 were decided (presumably by staff) after the week ended.

Five teams made big comebacks:
Eso Pluma Neo Momazos and EnergyStand Enyojers came back from 0-3 to win their round 3 and round 4 sets, respectively.
Golden Barracudas and Penultimate came back from 1-4 to win their round 5 sets.
Big Fat Sea Cows pulled off the second reverse sweep of the season, coming back from 0-4 to win their round 4 set.
ICYMI: I've been posting big weekly breakdowns of stats from LUTI season 16 over on bluesky. Also - I was on the Popcast this week to talk about the data and some takeaways from it! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2432993513

It would have been nice for me to post them here too, but... I was lazy.

But again, I want to be more active on this site.

@MittoVac With skills like that, you'll surely dominate #LUTI.
Alright, I’m going to play the academic hashtag roulette! I’m a scholar of South Asian + Islamicate verbal arts especially interested in the #qissa + #dastan genres & #qissakhwani. The #ghazal & #masnawi forms are my mainstays but the #shahrashob is cool too. Intertextual theories of #istiqbal #jawabgoi #sariqa are grist for my mill. Writing these days about queer figures like the #amrad #luti #khunsa (no not kundalini yoga, Mastodon). Okay! Let’s see how many of these tags lead me anywhere
