All right everyone, that's it for round 1, but there are many rounds to come, and if you are trailing you should not be discouraged! One great round can totally erase any lead that is built up, and then there's all the prediction points (the ones you've done already, as well as playoff predictions to come). Just to show you how many points it is possible to pick up in a single round, check out the team you could've had last round...
