10th Annual Brainbuster Tournament Final Standings:
Perhaps appropriately, Tuesday's final was another tough game, with only one tournament team cracking 12k. In the end, the top three from last week--The Fellowship (12,032), Danny K's (11,991), and Teaser's (11,763)--finished in that same order and within a few hundred points of each other to secure the top three places in the tournament. Teaser's, in particular, deserves some special credit for staving off a host of great teams which had a shot for the bronze medal going into the last night of competition:
https://ntn.donrdenton.com/contest.php?contest=98So, first of all, congrats to the top three for finishing at the top after a five-week marathon of truly brainbusting competition. According to Don Denton's site, four of the five tournament weeks were among the six most difficult games so far this year, including the two toughest games overall. I will be happy to send Danny K's and Teaser's their medals if a representative provides me with preferred mailing addresses.
Second, and speaking of Don Denton, I would like to extend my personal and sincere thanks for his work in creating and maintaining the tournament page, complete with helpful total/drop one/worst/best sortable columns. I continue to be extremely grateful for his decades-long service to the greater NTN/Buzztime community.
Third, I would also like to express my sincerest thanks to all of this year's participating teams. It was great to have you in the tournament--having such a large and talented field helps make tournaments like these a success.
Last, but certainly not least, I want to thank the folks at Danny K's for allowing me the honor of serving as their guest tournament commissioner. One of these days, I really would like to play with y'all and thank you personally.
Thanks again to all involved, and we hope to see you next April for the 11th Annual Brainbuster Tournament!
