Season Ends, Final Standings

The Highlanders add two more pts to their total on Sunday and finish the season with a league-best 53pt week, a FunHL triple crown and their third Predator Cup - some 14 years after winning thier last. The triple crown had only been done once before, when the Severed Heads did it in 2001 on route to winning their back-to-back Predator Cups. The Highlanders also join the 1996 Great Whites who over a decade ago won the Fish their third Predator Cup, until now the only FunHL team to accomplish the feat. The Bladerunners were worthy champions and only a couple of weeks ago looked like they could go back-to-back themselves. Only two teams had ever before repeated as champions, the Bladerunners may have fallen short of their goal but they certainly had a season to be proud of.

The Great Whites and Wolves both had great drafts of +1000pt teams. The Great Whites finished third while the Wolves are passed on the last day by both the Shadowmen (4th) and the Knights Templar (5th), who had the week's second highest total, as the Wolves slip to 6th place. The Personal Vendetta finish an injury plagued season in 7th place. The Ramapithicines get two points from Turco which is enough to lift them over the Severed Heads into 8th, the Heads will have to settle for 9th. The rookie GMs at the helm of the Lost Boys and Scourge both finish, appropriately, next to each other in the standings at 10th and 11th, respectively, while the Edge are forced to settle into 12th place and a second Herbivore Trophy after being unable to overcome the second-worst draft in the pool.

It was a very hard-fought season with 11 teams finishing over 900pts. Thanks for putting up with my self-congratulatory tone these last few weeks and my frequent mistakes with the unofficial stats. Darrell, you do an awsome job with the official stats - thanks from everyone for those. Some of these final positions are only a few points clear of the next team so they may be adjusted when Darrell posts the official stats later this week but until then, here are the unofficial final stats for all races:
