Jeff wrote: I've updated the final weekly high score on Yahoo and Fred takes another one down to end the regular season. Great job to everyone who made the playoffs. Here are the known winnings thus far:

Weekly wins:
Purdy Lookin Team: 5
Tano's Tumblers: 2
Cleveland Browncoats: 2 (with a combined margin of victory of 0.46 pts)
Fantasy Fields: 1
Dark Forest Druids: 1
Bogwood Beats: 1
Scrael Bait: 1
Football Totems: 1

Total Points Champ: Purdy Looking Team by a healthy margin with 1780.04 pts. Second was Bogwood Beats with 1660.36 pts.
Division Winners: Purdy Lookin Team, Dark Forest Druids, Cleveland Browncoats
SuperBowl Winner: Purdy Lookin Team
Superbowl Runner up: Cleveland Browncoats
Toilet Bowl Winner: Football Totems

For those of us in the Toilet Bowl remember it's a point for total points leader at the end of the toilet bowl bracket, not the winner of the toilet bowl.

With all the remaining tokens I'll divide up the rares and uncommons evenly. I'll put the trade tokens, GP items, Averons Cherry Ale, and treasure draw tokens together and split those among the weekly winners. If I'm missing something let me know. Otherwise GL in your FF playoffs.

Crazy week in real life this week. I've updated the previous post with the finals winners for the Super Bowl and Toilet Bowl. Congratulations Fred on your championship run. Melissa that's a tough finish with an injury but you continue to be one of the consistently good franchises in the league. Thanks for everyone joining again this year. This is always a fun league. I'm happy to keep up the roll as commish for next year.

With Fred taking the Golden Ticket everything still remains for those with points. Here is the list:

(2) Beads of Bounty
(2) Greaves of Resorption
(1) Greaves of the Stalwart
(1) Kilt of Divine Healing
(1) Ring of the 3rd Circle

Here are the league rules for what happens if there is a golden ticket:
"IF we happen to pull a golden ticket the super bowl winner gets it, but forgoes all other tokens won. If that is the case the distribution would be

Super Bowl GOLDEN TICKET
Superbowl Runner up gets 2 pts
Points title gets 2 pts to spend
Division winners 1 pt to spend, again #1 seed gets first choice
Toilet Bowl winner gets 1 point

Under this scenario, if the Super Bowl winner was ALSO a division winner and/or the points title winner we will give bonus points to the winners above. Since we don't know how many points that would end up being I can't be sure how it will be redistributed, but it will happen by league vote and if no consensus can be reached I will break the tie."

If there was no Golden Ticket the final counting and selection order would look like this:
Super Bowl Winner: Fred (2)
Super Bowl Runner Up: Melissa (1)
Total Points Winner: Fred (1)
Division Winner (1st seed): Fred (1)
Division Winner (2nd seed) Melissa (1)
Division Winner (3rd seed) Cary (1)
Toilet Bowl Winner: Orion (Football Totems made it to the final game and had the most points) 1

When Fred's 4 points are removed/redistributed it looks like this:

Super Bowl Winner: Golden Ticket to Fred
Super Bowl Runner Up: Melissa (2)
Total Points Winner: open (2)
Division Winner (1st seed): open (1)
Division Winner (2nd seed) Melissa (1)
Division Winner (3rd seed) Cary (1)
Toilet Bowl Winner: Orion (1)

I would like to propose the following. The treasure points allocated with total points champ get split up. 1 point goes to the team with the second highest total points which would be Bogwood Beats @ 1660.36 (also the only other franchise with a total points 1600+). The other treasure point goes to the team who finished 3rd in the league Fantasy Fields. That still leaves one point but we only had 7 pts worth of treasure anyway so we just let it disappear. The Toilet bowl winner now ends up with treasure, and the treasure pulls and averons tokens go back into random distribution with the weekly winners.

The order would look as follows:
Melissa (Superbowl runner up 2pts)
Melissa (Division winner, 2 seed 1pt)
Cary (Division winner 3 seed 1pt)
Cliff (Overall 3rd place in league final standings 1pt)
Wade (Second highest total points 1pt)
Orion (Toilet Bowl total points winner 1pt)

Obviously this is up for some discussion but this seemed like the next best stats to award points for. This is also not likely a scenario we will encounter very often so these are rather special circumstances.

- Jeff

I love it.

I hope these special circumstances continue every year.

It was not my best season for sure. Hopefully I have more success next season, but glad things got a little better for the toilet bowl tournament.

Also ditto on hoping we get another GT next year to keep the special circumstances going!

That all looks good to me - seems like it must have been quite some mental gymnastics to get this all in line

Agree- looks great.

Maybe next year, eh?

I'll take the Ring of 3rd circle and one of the Greaves of absorbtion. After that I will take what is left after everyone else has chosen their prize

This looks like a good solution to me too. Hopefully we have this “problem” happen every year.

Looks like I would be next to pick and will select the Greaves of the Stalwart

I think I'm next - I'll take the other Greaves of Absorption.

If I read correctly, the remaining items are
Bead of Bounty (2)
Kilt of Divine Healing

And I'm up.

If so, I'll take a bead of bounty please.

This all adds up so far. Orion will choose between the other bead or the kilt and Melissa will take whatever Orion doesn't choose. Thanks Melissa for dropping your last choice and letting Orion have an option here.

That's particularly awesome of you.

Whoever knows Orion offline can you shoot him a message to hop on and make his selection. Then I'll get everyone's tokens sent out. I live in Carmel, IN so if you are local I'm happy to meet up. Otherwise if you have tokens coming to you send $10 to my paypal (same for league dues) as that will cover the small prepaid flat rate box. I'll also need your shipping address which you can PM at your convenience. Greg I did get your address previously.

Sorry! I thought I was last on the list, so I wasn't following to closely. The bead would be great!
