One of these very rare situations where the Classic gold was decided by the tie-breaker. After a season-long comp and with quite a wide points scale for am.football (as compared to 0-6pts ftbll scale) Lukas and myself still finished even on points!
I personally think Lukas deserved the win more as he had 2 more correct outcome predictions than I did but rules are rules. The trick here was that many EFL games end up with much higher pts differents that one might prectict pre-game based theoretically on team strengths. Apparently this tiny observation proved enough for me to make up for this 2 correct outcome deficit (so 150pts max difference) in the course of the entire season. Or maybe no rule here, just a pure coincidence and luck? Not sure :)
thx for a great competition and see you next year! I think ELF is getting more and more interest these days, I could even see live tv broadcasts of it on one of my sports channels. Personally, I enjoy predicting this comp more than NFL. Still I find am/football much less enjoyable than rugby :)

New Zealand rugby is certainly the very famous tournament in narrow circles.
But there is also such little-known sport like Ice Hockey which is almost absent here.
It's a German site - will Deutsche Eishockey Liga be interesting to anyone (or Svenska HL, SM-liiga, Česká extraliga, Schweizer NL, Österreichischen EL)?
Michał, would you really refused to play 'Polska Hokej Liga' in favour of an ordinary rugby tournament? ))

Bad example. Polish hockey league really sucks...
Being a big ice hockey fan i wouldnt say no to SWE, FIN and CZE leagues though.
Speaking of Polish leagues. I'd really enjoy Speedway (best in the world; and we have no speedway league on here) and Volleyball (2nd after ITA but maybe joint 1st?). But at the same time I understand that these two may not be interesting to most people.
From among other leagues, I'd say German handball and Spanish basketball could attract some interest. I'd say introduction of the German chess Bundesliga set very open standards! :)))
And the one missing big time for any Polish fan is SKIJUMPING World Cup. :))) Tracking skijumpers for a given event might be an issue but a top-10 country-list selections (like in athletics) might potentially work, too. There is a very limited and defined number of countries taking part.
