Playoff Recap

Another season has come to an end, our playoff champs are crowned, and the Markinson lineup is set for 2012!

Montoya

For the third time in six years, Andrew reached the Cup Finals with a chance to steal a Markinson bid, but like the previous two times, he came up short. Thanks mostly to Brees, I took out Scott, Lisa, and Andrew to win my second straight Montoya Cup, and in the process locked up Dan's first Markinson bid!

So Montoya's 2012 Markinson contingent will be Hubert (6th bid in 6 tries), Lisa (3/6), me (5/6), and Dan (1/6).

Dufresne

Vineet was able to breathe easy this last week after Nalu dispatched Russell, the last potential spoiler, in the semis. Nalu then took out Jason in the finals for his second Dufresne Cup in three years. Jason just missed out on tying Hubert with his third playoff cup.

After losing by 0.02 in the last week of the season to lose his auto bid, Amer lost his chance at stealing one when he fell to Russell in the first round by 0.86. Brutal stretch. He went on to win the consolation bracket, but this will be only the second time he's missed out on Champions League.

So the Dufresne contingent in Markinson next year will be Nalu (2/4), Dean (5/6), Vineet (1/1), and Jason (5/6).

Miscellaneous

In six years of Montoya Cups, 11 of the 12 finalist slots have been occupied by Hubert (3-1), Andrew (1-3), and me (2-1), with Scott (0-1) holding down the other slot.

The Cup finals records in Dufresne: Dean (0-4), Jason (2-1), Nalu (2-0), Amer (1-1), Drew (1-0).

With Dan and Vineet qualifying this year, Steve is now the lone manager still seeking his first Markinson bid.

Hubert and I tied for most wins this season with 20. Jason was third with 18. The standard remains Dean's 22 in 2007.

At 110 career wins, Hubert is the only manager to have crossed the century mark. Dean finished just short with 99.

After winning the consolation bracket last year, Nalu's Cup win this year gives him 5 Cup wins in a row, breaking Drew's record 4 straight that ended in the first round this year. I have now won 6 straight, but that's still an entire Cup win from matching Hubert's ridiculous 9 straight wins from 2006-2008. He's getting nervous though. :)

All right, that's a wrap on 2011. I'll send out updated career records, and then it's onto 2012! Thanks again to everyone for participating, and congratulations to all our winners!
