What do the data mean?

  • Magic number: Combinations of own wins plus losses of the third-place team needed by each club to secure their qualification. With so few games, this number can be drastically reduced in a single matchday.
  • Probability (%): Mathematical estimation obtained through Monte Carlo simulations, taking into account performance, schedule, and all possible scenarios.
  • Remaining games: Number of matches still to be played in the Round Robin.

Quick reading of the scenario

Leones del Escogido: One step away from the Final Series. With Magic# of 2 and almost 99% probability, the ticket seems to be a matter of time.
Toros del Este and Águilas Cibaeñas: Tied in scenario and probabilities. Each own or others' result will have a direct impact on the race for second place.
Gigantes del Cibao: Mathematically eliminated, with no options to reach the final.
