The 2007 WBRL season is finally over, including a game 163 that didn’t cause any shift in the standings. Congratulations to our four top finishers:
1st - Goodfellas - $1300 (50%)
2nd - Get Off Kong! - $650 (25%)
3rd - The Pi Train - $390 (15%)
4th - X-Men - $260 (10%)
The biggest move in the last week was made by Nygard, who jumped from 10th to 8th on the strength of his new youngsters.
The championship was Drew’s fourth in his 15 seasons of participation, but his first since 1996. Interestingly, the X-Men have finished 4th for three consecutive seasons. Also repeating their performance from last year is Uncle Lester, who finished in 9th two consecutive years, and Stanimals, who for the past two seasons have finished last (though he “improved” from 11th to 10th this year).
