Wrong. Tonight's game doesn't really matter at all as far as the West Final is concerned.
If BC wins out and Stamps lose out then the Stamps would finish 3rd and the Riders would finish first with BC finishing second.
The Stamps just have to win next week and they host the West Final.
BC can get a maximum of 20 pts. Calgary already has 19. Even if they lose tonight and win next week they will still have 21pts which is more than BC.
If Calgary loses tonight and wins next week they host the West final.
Sask can no longer lose next week. Had they won today the Riders could have lost by 2 or less next week but now that can't happen.
No matter what, if the Riders beat the Stamps next week they WILL host the West Final.
EDIT: How about this for a crazy ass scenario? Stamps lose to BC. BC wins out and finsishes with 20 pts. Calgary and Sask tie next week and both finish with 20 pts.
Calgary has the season series on BC but not Sask. Sask has the season series on Cgy but no BC. BC has it on Sask but not Calgary. That would be some crazy shiznat. Almost impossible but it could theoretically happen.
It appears BC would finish first if that happened because they would have the greatest number of wins, which is the first tiebreaker, before head to head.
