Although these statistics have been available on the rules news article page, we have decided to list the results here as well. Listed below are the weekly results from each week of the contest.

Now that the contest is over, what did everyone think? What did you like, and more importantly, what did you not like? I would love to hear from every one; especially those who did not participate. Was there something about the contest that did not appeal to you? I promise, we have thick skin... so fire away!

Well done William! I liked the whole thing, it was really well organised and enjoyable, thankyou for organising it! :D

WTG William!! You've been almost dominating from Week 10 on. What was the final prize again?? 6 months of Diamond? Sweet deal!!
I'll take a very respectable 4th place overall.
This was a great contest William! Very well done, organized and put together. Nothing at all was bad about it, everything was great. I'm eagerly awaiting the next one.

next year I'll play and give you all a nice whoppin:)
Sounds good to me! We need more league players and management to help give Danny and David competition in these things!
IM dpruess
sounds good to me too :)
William, you did a great job with this contest, it was lots of fun for me!
