I suspect that's why the top 59 (54+5) were listed.

Back to the original thread topic.
After Week 5 my calculations show the 54th ranked team at 58 points, with 32 teams below that threshold still to play their second scoring event at PineTree.
It's actually far simpler than that. I wanted to do top 60 but then realized that the 60th team fell into another point bracket. So 59 seemed good enough .

As points were estimated for many of the teams, I wanted to leave some buffer.
