sluellwitz made a huge run for it, and hansdampf tanked a bit, making me this year's Manchester City. And what are you going to do now, Sheik HoodRiverDuck? I'M GOING TO BUY DISNEYLAND. AND DISNEYWORLD.
Also earning a spot in next year's Completely Fictitious Champions IKTS League (seriously, our imaginations are flipping weird) is AStar. AndrewMain and CK3 make the Fake Europa IKTS League, and thereby are doomed to spend Thursday nights out in the rain sending in their predictions by fax machine, or depending upon the political situation in Ukraine, by telegraph.
Harold Harpoon, bearcatcardfan, and DJ Holm get relegated to the IKTS Championship Sponsored By Cartilage Free Captain.

sluellwitz triumphs and holds the large invisible trophy aloft, and even though I had no chance of winning, still get to be the pretend runner-up.
RANDOM STUFF:
I've always found it a bit odd that we let our Cup points count towards the total points as well, so was curious if removing them made any difference. It didn't (see the linked spreadsheet above for results.)
And lastly, because actually showing up and playing each week is huge factor in the honors, I was curious who did the best on a points-per-prediction basis. Interestingly: A) it was exceedingly close, requiring a fourth decimal place to separate many places; B) the top two were still the same people; C) thanks to the various cups Arsenal participated in, we ended up with exactly 400 matches to predict on the year.

Thanks again to everyone for making this so much fun, and thanks as well for tolerating my various data entry failures and resulting miscalculations. Lastly, if anyone (founding father Brad included) wants next year's duties, don't be shy.
