In the end … Eric Wins the Week, TroyA Takes Title

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.

Housekeeping:

I will be sending out info following Week 17 to let owners know how much they owe for extra trades.

Just a reminder for our new owners. Your entry fee covers the first 50 trades of the season. Every trade over 50 costs .50 cents each.

Please wait to send payment until you’ve heard from me re: how much you owe. Winnings will be sent out once I have collected all payments.

Looking Ahead:

That’s it for Week 17 and the 2019 season. Please double check my work and let me know if you see any scoring errors. 

Enjoy the playoffs and off season.

Come August, I’ll be in touch about whether or not to run the league in 2020.
