And there you have it! Jose L. Couso runs away and hides with the BigSoccer MLS WPL Playoff Cup! There were some tense moments but Jose's 10-man United did a great job "ragging the puck" as it were, and prevented KC from getting enough good looks at goal. Our winner stuck with DC all the way through the playoffs, and that's the big reason why he finished far in front. Other big winners on the day were Flashman and Quango, who tie for Weekly Cup winner (and, obviously, Play of the Week). (Remember that huge bets only outperform "pretty big" bets on multi-goal victories.) Flashman leaps two spots and finishes second overall, just ahead of bitter rival NoSix. Meanwhile Quango pilots his win all the way to the final top 5 slot, passing up two KC backers. tab5g jumps 4 spots to finish 6 with his top 5 week. IASocFan,equakesfan and Deimos drop points but still grab top 10 spots. Finally firefan2001 cracks the top ten at the last possible moment with his #4 finish. NoSix preserves his streak of passing the administrator on the last day of the season. The administrator is just happy to finish in the %100 club, along with the top 3. Meanwhile Crewbasher manages to break into positive territory on the final day. Well, I hope it's been as fun for y'all to play as it has been for me to run. Please do post your suggestions for changes next year. ____________________________________________________________ Play Of The Week: Quango and Flashman, for the bet of 9 on DCU over KCW Weekly Cup: 1 FlashMan 2.290909 2 Quango 2.290909 3 Jose L.

Since I had no chance left of winning the whole thing, at least I could get some payback for all of the snide "soccer scientist" remarks! Now I'm getting out of here before the San Diego SmackMan shows up on the scene... Seriously, I've decided to spend more of my time on other, higher priority areas in life, so I will be visiting these boards only rarely in the future. But thanks to all who played, it was great fun! Cheers, NoSix
It has been fun. Thank you for keeping score and thanks to all for playing. I don't have any suggestions. I liked the format, hopefully we can do this again next year. Cheers!
Dred, Thanks so much for giving us so much fun this year. My only suggestion would be to give full points for a tie and double for a win. I really like the bonus for blowout victories.
Good job, dred. Sorry you didn't win. Know why? Because if the Wizards would have won, you would have been the champ, and I would have finished second, AND the WIZARDS would be MLS CHAMPS!
Sorry I hadn't checked in sooner. Our supporters went on a 3-day drinking binge through the center of the town in celebration of their complete and total domination over some chump named NoSix from somewhere East of Eden but South of the Pen. The hangover is sweet. We toasted to dred 1000 times and spit on NoSix's family in equal measure, but by the end we were even toasting the good and honorable name of NoSix, who we know in our hearts of h-Arts provides good competition...as long as he doesn't even think about beating us. Peace on Earth!!!
