FINAL Side Duels Results

I have recalculated the duels standings following a flurry of late entries.  As suspected the Sandbaggers have upended the apple carts on a number of duels.  

First up an updated pie chart of activity.


SD1 (Moose and ) Squirrel Duel

 


No change at all in these standings!  GeoffT held the lead all challenge, despite an early run by Curt and a late charge by Martijn.  All Hail Squirrel-Whisperer Geoff.

SD2 30K Heresies


Once again these results stand.  Congrats to Greg, who outscored all other challengers combined.  In these crazy and chaotic times it is comforting to know that the right lunatic won tis challenge.

SD3 Skulls


Scoring is pure head count (pun intended). This one will be adjudicated by Barks.

I will leave skull tallies to our resident Post-Mortem Phrenologist.

SD4 Mech Madness


Three for three on results standing up to an audit.  This duel tightened up but Sander prevailed.  Congrats to the MechMaster.

SD5 WW2 Duel


Well I am, umm, going let the results speak for themselves here!   The total points scores increased by 92% after the preliminary results were posted and we have a new champ in MattW.  If I were Matt, I'd be using his sandbags to build himself a dugout for protection!

SD6 Napoleonics



Never let it be said that RayR is unpredictable!  He did exactly what we all knew he was going to do and edged Lee out after the finish.  I'll let Lee reward the winner in an appropriate manner.

SD7 Can Opener


I have only one change to report here.  MattW went from 0-647 after time was called to steal another victory in injury time. 
Kerry had looked a clear winner all challenge long, but it was not to be....Kerry and DaveD could likely form a "Done in at the last minute by MattW" support group.

Both Lee and Ray increased their totals, but not enough to affect the final result.  Congrats to Ray on a more honest win here!

Once again, we have a result that stood after recounts.  Zulus, a thousand of 'em!   Congrats to DaveD on this one.

Unofficial Side Duels Results, pending Audits

Here's the standing as of March 23rd, for the non-Skull related duels.  I would ask all Duellists to check their scores and make sure that everything is recorded correctly.  The end date of the challenge is done and dusted but I will give the Duellists until March 26th to get their forms submitted.  Again some Duellists may be Sandbagging...

First up an updated pie chart of activity.

SD5 WW2 Duel


Well this one escalated quickly!  There were 978 points recorded between March 4-20th!  DaveD leads the way following a late war punch through the Ardennes. Funny, I thought the project was one he did a lot of this work earlier in the challenge (dare I raise the S word here?).  Hard on his heels was DavidB who mobilized his motorpool.

This one needs auditing and confirmation was everyone involved.  I am sure that MattW has a lot more than 30 W2 points.

SD6 Napoleonics




After three months there are seemingly two points separating Lee and Ray. However, I refuse to call a winner on this one.  Ray did not fill in a Duels form after March 5th and had several Napoleonic posts after that date.  The Sandbagging king has until Wednesday to claim those points or suffer defeat.

There was little doubt about this one from day 1.  Kerry was a clear winner.

See my comments on the Napoleonic Duel above.  I suspect both Lee and Ray of Sandbagging, as neither's total matches their Napoleonics scores.
