Top 8 Finals
The top 8 (Eddie C, David K, Dalton B, Tim H, Geoff H, Adrian R, Anthony H, and Jeremy N) will compete in the finals on December 16 to determine the overall winner for 2012. In the event that one of these players can’t make it to the finals the place will be offered to the next eligible player on the table.
Achievements
This was the first year in which achievements have been given out, and I think this year’s crop represented a good first start. However one proved too hard to get (Permanent Trophy), and others were a little out of left field, including Dark Horse and Almost Immortal. New achievements will be introduced for the 2013 league.
Prizes
There is an astonishing 93 packs in the prize pool, with 87 packs already distributed to date, going to winners and one pack for each achievement gained by a player. The original plan was to divide the achievement pool exclusively among the top 8, however with such a volume of prize packs, I will give out packs to other players ranked in the table after the finals.
Fun Facts
* Four players played in every round in 2012, and three of them made it into the top 8.
* Outside the top 8, the next player eligible for the finals is ranked 12th.
* 36 club members competed in 2012, along with several non-members who don’t appear on the table.
* The most common booster in the achievement pool is Magic 2011, where we have 23 packs.
* The oldest boosters in the prize pool are from the 9th edition Core Set. They are so old they have white borders!
* No player earned more than three achievements.
