Thanks to everyone who played and cheered us on in TL 43. Here's a review of how our teams did.

ArchBishops_Sinners: clear 2^nd place in U2000D.  The team wanted more, but a respectable finish that many teams would envy.

ArchBishops_StrangeAngels: got the short end of the stick in a very close U1800 division.  Defending the championship isn't easy!

ArchBishop-OnUnusualLines: clear 2^nd in 1800B. Great work all...the only room for improvement is to win the division next time. ;)

LeTourDeFrance-TeamArchBishop: managed to score at least a point every round, but didn't quite live up to their potential in a very competitve U1600 division.

ArchBishops_YoungAngels were agonizingly close to winning 1600A.  Lots of "what ifs", but definitely a result to be proud of.

And finally,

ArchBishops_AllSaints: CHAMPIONS of U2000! Eternal glory and fame are lavished upon Ismirdochegal, OrganicChess, ShakaZahn, StiliDimitrov, and myself (wmahan).  From start to finish the season was close to perfect for us in team spirit and in results on the board. Our score in the finals, 4-0 against the 2^nd-place team, exemplified our teamwork and good fortune.

Ismir and Shaka merit special mention for going undefeated in every game. Ismir consistently amazed us by outclassing opponents on board 1. Shaka put up with what must be a record for opponents not showing up. I also want to thank Stili for selflessly giving up his spot in the playoffs (even though I had more confidence in him than I did in myself), and to OC for making my week with his final victory.
