And that's that. Only 36 hundredths of a seconds separating rexsu and Biscuit in the end. Not far behind follows jPV.

It was a worthy final round.

In the team battle Lemon was leading most of the time but on the final day capehorn was able to shift the scores so EAB won 56-54 in the end and thus EAB wins the team championship 10-8!



Season's over, Knockout follows.

Well done to the top 3, those were some truly spectacular times that I couldn't even begin to get near.

I did look at the scoreboard during the final week and think to myself that I wouldn't be able to make anywhere near enough of an improvement to move up the table into the top 4, which looked like what I would need to do to score extra points for EAB. But yesterday it dawned on me of the 'power' of being in seventh place, and that a few modest improvements could take league points away from the Lemon players below me in the table. It looks like between me and El_Pasi we did just enough

Rexsu, I know you did post a video on Lemon, but if you do have any more videos of what kind of drive it takes to achieve those times, I'd be fascinated to see them.

It's a good tactic. With 2 lemon but only 1 eab team scorers below you that worked well. Same sort of thing happened with James Pond. I should tell you off but it also made it more comfortable for me to finish the championship in 4th

Yeh, I must admit to similar things going through my mind during pervious rounds! But it's a reasonable tactic to employ. Essentially still involves you increasing your own score, just with a much greater added weight to the "knock on" situation. A sort of leverage situation.

Well done EAB, you've been a strong team this year and I begrudgingly admit that, regardless of how close we are to a draw, you deserve victory in 2018.
