What unexpected drama in the end! I thought our comp was all over and I just had to put together the final scores. Turns out two people blew their own chances of a podium place in the final round, while the winner finally just about managed to hold on! N-Bomb successfully warded off a strong challenge from defending champion Dizart to proudly continue my amazing hosting sequence....Nobody has ever retained their title in this comp in the over 10 years I've hosted it Dizart has come the closest in all these years, but we are still waiting for a champion to repeat.
The drama was for the bronze medal. George95 had the best countback figures of us all after N-Bomb, and he just needed to lodge his picks this round to take home the bronze. Sypher was the one in the bronze medal position for the last few weeks, and he just needed to play safe to ensure the medal. Instead, George95 defaulted the round while Sypher's radar was off the mark. And suddenly out of nowhere, paper_aero jumps the line and runs away with the bronze on countback. For good measure, srini701 and ozzz2002 also tied at the same score!
On the field, there was some drama too in the final round before the top 8 positions were finally decided. The Lions and Rebels lost out on the KO spots after losing in the final rounds, and the Chiefs and the Highlanders sneak in. The Crusaders top the table and will play the Highlanders at home. The Jaguars finish second and take on the Chiefs. The Brumbies finish third and play the Sharks, while the Hurricanes, though second on points, finish fourth and take on the Bulls.
Thank you everyone for lasting the season and hoping to see you all again in 2020...
