2018 Championship Roundup

Congratulations to Reid and his band of Misfits for capturing the head-to-head championship! The final tally was 359-288.5 in the battle with BodySuit Man, so Adam takes second place.

We were of the understanding that this week just counted for the overall points total, but apparently it doesn't. We're learning new stuff every day (thanks, ESPN!). So our season is actually over and we can all just enjoy the playoff race this week.

We'll do some season wrapup stuff in the next couple weeks, and figure out season earnings. For now, here are the final season point totals and placements.

The final scoreboard

1. Fasano Don't Dance (4539.8 points, last week 1)

2. Project Mayhem (4449.2 points, last week 2)
