Technically, Rob, you can still get first in SS, if you win at the last event and Jennifer Bedell doesn't score in SS: in that case, you'd be tied on 30 points. If she doesn't compete in the event at all, you'd get the win because she hadn't run enough events. If she competed somewhere other than SS, or DNF'd all the runs, you'd get the season win on the tie-breaker number of firsts. But if she just finishes one run in SS at the last event, she gets SS for the season.
The other class where first is up for grabs is SSM. If Jordan Normark wins, it doesn't matter what else happens, he will win the season. If Jordan doesn't win, then if Jeremy Gast starts a run in any class and therefore qualifies for a trophy, he will win instead.
But if Jeremy Gast is a no-show, it opens it up a lot more. Then Jordan only needs a second place to win the season, since Gordon Taylor can only add 7 to his total from a win because of discards. If Jordan is third, Gordon can take it with a win. If Gordon comes second, Jordan need only finish fifth or higher to take the season. If Gordon finishes third or lower, it's Jordan's title whether he shows or not.
There are also a couple of undecided classes where one person can win if they start one run in any class and qualify for the season. Gwen Baake can win X, and Erin Dressler can win STS.
That would be my only chance.
