So, based on the total pledged of R1850, the split is 60-30-10.

Final Standings
Points Rank Prize
@GregRedd 238.0 1 R1110
@CZC 87.0 2 R555
@DarthMol 39.0 3 R185
@Wyvern 25.5 4
@Beo 15.5 5
@DieGrootHammer 3.0 6

To keep it as straightforward as possible, I propose:

@DarthMol (Pledged R250)

@CZC (Pledged R300)

@GregRedd (Pledged R250)

  • Keep R250
  • Get R300 pledged from @Wyvern
  • Get R300 pledged from @SIGSTART
  • Get R65 balance pledged from @DarthMol
  • Get R300 pledged from @Solitude
  • Get R150 pledged from @Anonymous
  • Send R255 to @CZC

Please check my maths and let me know if there’s anything wrong.

I’ll send DMs with my bank details to @Wyvern, @SIGSTART, @DarthMol, and @Solitude shortly. And separately to @Anonymous. @CZC, DM me your bank details please.

That said, I know it’s been a really crappy year for many, so please don’t feel obligated to make these payments. I understand completely, would have no issue with that at all, and would obviously never share that information. 'tis all good.

As for doing this again next year…? Thoughts and suggestions are welcome.

Congratulations @GregRedd for a very deserving win! We appreciate the effort you put into all the articles and topics. Well done @czc with 2nd, at one stage I thought I’d try challenge you but it’s been a busy year and each month passed without me putting in another article.
