A team firmly locked in last place

3lock
transitive verb

2 b : to fix in a particular situation or method of operation <a team firmly locked in last place>
4 : to invest (capital) without assurance of easy convertibility into money

What would "last place" mean in that context? It usually means to finish at last place - He finished at last place with no points and deserved all the harsh criticism.

"capital" means money invested in a business venture. I think the money at the end means 'profit'. Right?

Please help me. Thanks.

A team firmly locked in last place is one in which the competitive season is over and there is no chance of the team advancing any further. Your other question escapes me. Sorry.
