This week, seven out of the eight members who predicted did so correctly. The final score of the match was 3 - 1. We had two members who predicted that score correctly. Since we only had one game this week, we cannot calculate scores beyond this. Also, because we do not have any prizes to give out in the weekly contest (we stopped giving out weekly prizes after week 10), we have two winners this week!
Championship winners are: IM dpruess and vowles_23 Congratulations!
