Koniciwa, losers. Yes I am back, and it's really a shame I missed the last couple of weeks because there was some excitement in the playoff hunt. But here we are, dust settled and playoffs carved out of stone into reality. I think its safe to say we're all cheering for Garrett or Collin, or frankly even TK, so... come on fellas don't let us down...

For us plebs that are sidelined for the remainder of the season, I have wonderful news for you. I have yet another survey for you to complete (I know how much yall love them) about this season in recap. It will literally take 2 minutes, and it helps me tailor the league to be more fun and engaging, so please take it. You playoff folks are welcome to go ahead and fill it out too, but your seasons aren't over so do your thing I guess.

    2011 Round 1: #2 TK beats #3 Tyler 126-101

    Tyler has been the team to beat all season, amassing 24 total points (tying the season record set by Austin in 2018) on a 2,000 point campaign to take the #1 overall seed. His first round comes against TK, a man who is reinvigorated with a new fiance and has a track record of beating Tyler. TK snuck into the playoffs in the final week of the season, fending off three competitors (Austin, Mike, and Ryan) who all lost their final games. TK knocking off Tyler would ensure that the league has its 6th consecutive unique champion, but a Tyler win would give him the chance to earn a 4th title to tie with Mike for most all-time.

    None

    If Tyler was in Tier 1 all by himself this year, Garrett and Collin were in Tier 2 by themselves. These two bounced back and forth between 2 and 3 all season and its only right that they face off for the right to compete for the natty. A tale of two strategies, Collin finished the regular season with a total of 38 moves (add/drops, trades, etc) compared to Garrett's total of 6. Neither of these teams has won a championship, so one of them will be within arms reach at this point next week. Who will it be???
