Supporters Shield Race

Magic numbers:

8 points - clinch (We are 20 points clear of Montreal who have possible 27 points available)
10 points - avoid play down (15 points clear, 24 points available to Chicago)
11 points - home advantage semi (tie - 20 points clear and 30 points available to Atlanta; 17 points clear and 27 points available to NYRB)
16 points - Conference / SS (9 points clear, 24 points available to NYCFC)

(edit: KGH is correct, first clinch is 5 points, because Columbus has played 3 games more than Montreal and so could drop out - 14 clear but 18 available)

Ours is actually 5 pts to clinch a playoff spot. Columbus can only hit 60 max. Although they're currently in 3rd they've played 28 games. They would be the 5th team that we would mathematically finish ahead of (max possible points DC 49, PHI 52, ORL 55, NE 56) securing a playoff spot.
