NASL Week 25 Playoff Scenarios

Let me start by linking you to the NASL Schedule.


Eliminated: Indy Eleven, Atlanta Silverbacks, Ottawa Fury (due to TB-CAR H2H this week putting the Magic Number to 36 -- thanks to the club for pointing that out)
In Danger of Elimination: Tampa Bay Rowdies
Clinched: Minnesota United (as Spring 2014 champions), San Antonio Scorpions (at-large)

Now, let's do these scenarios in order of difficulty for all teams who aren't eliminated or haven't clinched.
San Antonio Scorpions: Win all 3 remaining games AND Minnesota United loses another one. (They play one head-to-head)
New York Cosmos: Win against Minnesota United and they're in. Simple as that.
Fort Lauderdale Strikers: Win/draw 2 out of 3 AND Carolina loses/draws 2 out of 3.
Carolina Railhawks: Win all 3 and they're in.
FC Edmonton: Win all 3 AND Fort Lauderdale loses at least 2 out of 3 and draws the other AND Carolina loses all 3.
Tampa Bay Rowdies: Win all 3 AND Fort Lauderdale loses all 3.

I'm grateful to the Soccer Deacon for checking my math on the last two teams.
