League Winners & Upcoming Competitions!
Our Late Winter League is over! Apologies for the delay with ratings, but due to the decision regarding the I-15 incident in week three, I needed to get some clarification on how to score the results properly on the new rating system.
We want to congratulate Tate Alexander for winning first place with a final score of 3.5/4 points! This came after Anthony Thompson defeated Calder Feinstein in the last round, putting them both in a 5-way tie for second place with Yuun Kim, Derek Pennington, and Trey Opp with 2.5/4 points!
And in the Community section, Donny Lewis took first place with 2.5/4 points! Donny is followed by Jason Barton, joining in late in round three, but finished with a score of 2/4 points total!
Thank you, everyone, for playing! We started with 9 registered and grew to 25 by the last round. We hope to see more once we come back for another season!
