It's not looking good for Team USA. Only 2 matchups left, and they are chasing 14 points..

I am down for switching it up next time ....

Though I may be keeping an I on SS's slates just to be sure I would have beat him again if it had been a rematch.... haha - jk ... not really though

by the way, i'm sure that i won't be picking up any MVP awards but i wanted to point out that i came in 1st in Ult, 25th in BO and (due to some DQ's below me) 9th in BR....roughly this puts me around 100 points, and i know there must be players who have done better than that even....my point is that the MVP is going to have had one hell of a Fantalympics to take home that gold!!

PS>> only chasing 14?? dude, one clean sweep could catch them up!! then again, you know what you're talking about i guess....

Well, i think everyone knows what the outcome of the first official FANTALYMPICS will be.. so, without further ado, the final two matchups:

In 3rd place, we have our finest female fantalympian, from the mighty USofA, meet the woman who made New Zealand's 2nd best Fantasy Moguls related person quiver in his boots... ALYSON..

She managed 3rd spot by coming in 8th in Bankrupts, 8th in Box Office, and 7th in Ultimates, bringing her grand total to 112 points..

In 2nd place, yet another athlete from the USofA. Everyones favorite columnist (sorry Chien and dranscht) and father of the SuperLegaues, it's.. SHRYKE!

Shryke managed 2nd place and a silver medal by absolutely thwarting one of RoWs most valued players: numbersix!

Shryke came in 2nd in Bankrupts, 7th in BoxOffice, and 10th in Ultimate to get a grand total of 116 points.. Well done mate.

And last, but most definitely not least, as a matter of fact, quite the opposite of least. Coming in at the coveted 1st place position, one of the very few people to hail from a whales vagina, it's RoW superstar.. RON_BURGUNDY..

Ron was able to smash his US counterpart in BanksIsDaFuture, and along the way he managed to come in 1st place in the Bankrupts, 4th place in the BoxOffice, and 8th place in Ultimates for a grand total of 122 points, putting him 6 points clear of the next best thing..

You stay classy Ron_Burgundy.

Yay!!

And thank-you Barca for putting it all together - really well done, mate!

Well done everyone, a great addition to the format which I look forward to the next addition. Glad to see the GF restored some pride to NZ after my absolute failure, she did pretty well. And to be honest, if I had to lose to anyone on the US team, it would be Aly- the 2nd hottest female of the fantaverse. Maybe the AP Top 25 will sit up and take notice of her next time, considering she came in 3rd overall....

Anyway, thanks for setting it all up Barca, I can see you have used your paint to the max with such artistry, and your unveiling was a clever idea to keep the tensions growing. Well done my Aussie mate.

Well done ROW, and Barca. Well done Aly and Shryke, without you, it would have been a blowout. I can't wait for the next contest, as it will probably be about 10x better and more competitive without (hopefully) the problems that TDK and Blindness caused. Can't wait, and once again congrats.

P.S. I wonder what the odds would have been on Ron winning the overall MVP before the event. Quite a long shot if you ask me. Congrats Ron, way to keep it classy.

Hey, that looks pretty cool. Congrats to Ron, Shryke and Alyson, job well done. I got absolutely creamed though. LOL. Next time!!!
