(The 10 point award for winning the 100 million team trophy is awaiting review from the total-checkers, but it's safe to say it is between Shasta and Boro. Those two ran away with it, 30 pts clear or more from their nearest competitors. Whoever takes the win will move into 2nd place overall.)

EDIT: The count and recount is in, and Boro has narrowly taken the ten bonus points and finishes second in the overall standings.

All hail Nilp, winner of this year's Phantasy Trophy! He took the lead in the very first round and never let it go, becoming (I believe) the first ever wire-to-wire champion. What a splendid performance!
