Congratulations to Lucas (a.k.a. nighthops). He took an early lead and never let go.
This was the first year they kept the picks going through the playoffs. It looks like next year, we’ll be able to assign more points for correct playoff picks which could keep thinks lively down to the end. I’m thinking it would make sense for Wildcard week to be worth 2, then 3, then 4 and finally 5 (or more?) for picking the Super Bowl winner.
Survivor League
It took 16 weeks before a winner emerged. In fact, two of the remaining three were both knocked out that week — GreenMachina-WMA and Hopstain. That allowed DOZEer to become the winner, having only one miss for the entire season.
Congratulations to Paul (a.k.a. DOZEer) for the being the lone survivor.
Thanks to everybody who played. See you next year.
It was a good time, the double elimination in the Survivor league kept the fun going for longer this year I liked the change. I look forward to next year.
I agree, the double elimination was better in the survival league. It was a fun year, not without nervousness…..two of my wins were in OT.
Really enjoyed being involved in this, despite being a Brit with only a vague understanding of the game. Didn’t stop me from poring over the standings and results each week to make my choices. Must’ve have chosen well though, because I tied for 3rd!! Cheers, Matt aka HoldFastBrewery
Glad to hear it, hope we’ll see you next year. Maybe I can visit your brewery on my next trip to your side of the pond.
