Now that everyone is finished, I would like to give you all one last 'Great Job!'.

I know that a number of people have thanked LA and I for a great job being co-captains. Thanks for the complement, but I think LA and I had little to do with our success. The best LA and I can do is crunch a few numbers and try to set up matches in which we think we can win 4 out of 6 and half the time we can't even do that. The other team gets to pick the games we they are home. The best we can do is send out the best player we have for that game who is not too busy at the time.
In the end we got to second place, because you guys and gals won games. We were 6 wins, 3 losses and 4 ties when we were the away team (for city cup and league games). That's the other team picking our weakest games and their strongest games. LA and I can do nothing but send out our best players for those games and hope for the best.
When LA and I have players who can do that, going 9 wins, 1 loss and 2 ties when home is darn easy to setup.

Never mess with a Munchkin on their home court.

We had a team of 12 this season. However, EC has grown almost 25% in population since the start of this season. Looking over the new additions and adding reikja (who had computer problems for better then half of the season), I can easily see 4 or 5 more people who might want to play next season. Maybe we will even add a few more Munchkins before the start of the season. Plus, there is a number of Munchkins who played in past seasons, but not in this one.
If we get to around 17-18 Munchkins or so, then we might have to recruit a few more to get a team of 11 or 12 to play in league 1 and start a new team with 8 players or so. However, that is a problem LA (if he wants to captain next season) and I will figure out when the time comes. If the number stays around 12-ish, then we keep one team and show that Emerald City belongs with the best cities in BSW.

I hope everyone had a great time and see you all online.
