Month: December 2019

On the final week of the 2019 season, Eric was able to navigate the unpredictable nature of Week 17 and score a 418, thanks to a lineup led by Winston, Tannehill, McCaffery, Boone, Perriman, AJ Brown, Higbee, Tucker and the Ravens D.

Our runnerup was Mr. Eames, who posted a 407, with a lineup featuring Prescott, Tannehill, McCaffery, Mixon, Drake, Adams, Woods, Brown and Higbee.

This was Erics‘s second weekly win of the year, and Mr. Eames‘ fourth pay day this season. Congrats to Eric and Mr. Eames on the strong showings in Week 17.

The Leader Board:

Every year I suggest it is going to be a tight finish, but this year takes the cake. Not only did we have the smallest margin of victory ever (four points) but third and fourth place came down to a tie breaker of who had the larger high score.



In the end, TroyA holds on to the title , edging Jack by a mere four points. Mr. Eames edges Heather for third based on high scores, and Trent takes fifth, just ahead of his dad Tommy. Congrats to all the winning owners, especially Heather, who finishes in the overall money spots for the first time after three seasons.

This is TroyA‘s eighth league title since 2002, and his second in a row. Congrats on your back-to-back championships.

TroyA	4966
Jack	4962
Mr. Eames	4937 (430)
