Cup Finals Recap

Montoya

A historic season for Proper Villains! Andrew beat Scott 143-66 to become the first to ever win both the Montoya League Championship and Montoya Cup, either in the same season or in a career. Amer is the only manager to have pulled off the double in Dufresne (more on that later).

Andrew's win also secured my spot in next season's Markinson Cup (thank you!!!) and ended Scott's perfect run of qualifications. Hubert is now the only manager in either league to have qualified for all four Markinson Cups.

I beat Hubert 136-121 for my 50th career win. I am the 5th manager to reach that milestone, after Hubert, Dean, Jason, and Scott. Hubert's run of 3 straight Montoya Cups is over, but he had another successful season, with 20 total wins, tops in the league.

Gina fell short of a return to Markinson, but she finished strong with a 90-point win over Dan! It gave her an impressive 17 wins for the season, the 3rd highest total this season behind Hubert and Drew, more than doubling her career total.

Dufresne

It's officially a rivalry. Once again a trophy came down to Nalu and Dean, and once again they posted the two highest scores for the week to win it. Last time Dean eked out the victory, but Nalu got some measure of revenge, winning 137-122 to secure the Dufresne Cup, his first career trophy! Dean finished as playoff runner-up for the 4th time in 4 tries, consequently falling short of matching Amer and Andrew's league doubles.

Drew beat Steve for his 20th win of the season, matching Hubert for top total. It was 2 shy of Dean's record 22 wins in 2007.

Markinson 2010

Now that things are finally settled, here is the lineup for next season's Markinson Cup:

1/2: Andrew and Dean
3/4: Hubert and Nalu
5/6: Jeremy and Russell
7/8: Chang and Drew

As mentioned above, this will be Hubert's 4th Markinson, an unmatched feat. Dean and I will be in our 3rd, and Jeremy and Drew will be in their 2nd. The previous 3 champions (me, Amer, and Drew) were Markinson rookies the year we won the title, so Andrew, Nalu, and Russell are all hoping that streak continues. Drew and I will be looking to be the first 2-time winner.

Thanks all for participating! It's been a great season, and I look forward to another one in just 9 months!
