Yeah it scared me when I was scoring. I was up 3 games to 1 with 3 left and was like I should win at least 1 more. Then I lost the next 2. And when I saw the team I had for my last game and saw they were 15 GB I was like well damn I lost it.

It was too close for my liking lol

HUGE congrats Ken! Talk about down to the wire with the deciding win being the last game! When I did my score I did yours as well and I had 4 wins for myself with 3 for you. I totally messed up and had the wrong year for your New York Mets on the last game. Best of luck in the Cyclone Series, and since we were in the same league I am rooting for you :) If Gwynn545 ends up going against you I may have to root for him though since he lives decently close to me haha!

[MENTION=3744]cjedmonton[/MENTION] - You are extremely talented with these contests and rediculously generous with the prizes. Thank you so very much for the fun with these!

[MENTION=11981]WCTYSON[/MENTION] wins the Big Train Championship 4 games to 3 over [MENTION=2477]Gwynn545[/MENTION]

The Cyclone Series pits the two top seeds [MENTION=1763]moxacaine[/MENTION] vs. WCTYSON

That thread will be posted shortly.

I would like to set the same March 7 deadline (10pm Eastern) for the final. Please let me know if that will be an issue.

Good luck to both!

Sounds fine by me. I plan to score tomorrow. I think that moxacaine already said he has his scored, so no issues for the final round. Thank you so much for this, it has been a lot of fun.
