Despite consisting of only 8 matches (and then your top 7 scores), the Guess the Starting XI and Final Score for the Canadian Championship and CONCACAF Champions League was an exciting competition. A key aspect of making this competition so exciting was that the lineups were very unpredictable. There were some players that seemed to always be in the Non-MLS match lineup, but there were also curve balls thrown. We had times where we thought that Tornaghi would start, but Richey did instead. We had the Levis/de Jong question late in the competition, The random starts of Davies. The final start from Perez. The omission of Techera from Match #7, despite being the leading scorer in Champions League. And finally, how many Canadians would start. McKendry started 3 times. If not for Non-MLS, would we even see Teibert this season? In the end, Arjon continued his streak of winning these contests, after winning the First Half MLS contest. I am posting a few tables. The first will be the final rank, including ALL 8 matches. This includes each participants' average lineup score and correct winner and score predictions. The second table is the Final Ranking with each participant's worst score removed (i.e., each participant's top 7 matches). Given the few number of matches, the standings do not change much.

Final Ranking of Top 7 Matches

It was a close finish for 3rd place, with rtomsheck not submitting a prediction for the last week dropping them down to 5th (from 2nd). While Soccer Mum just missed out on 3rd place.

Thanks to everyone who participated. It was tons of fun! I look forward to finishing out the regular season competition these last two weeks!
