The TSA 40k League 2019 result

The die has been cast, and the bolters have silenced.

A new champion has been crowned for the TSA club league 40k, and the winner is:

Tom Jacobs with the Adeptus Custodes.

In a league which saw most action in the months april to july, with at a certain moment 7!!!! battles on a single friday evening, he stood against all his challengers and walked away victorious.

As player tiredness set in from september, with even a 5 week draught in that time, he could slowly and surely consolidate his position, going into november with an 8 point lead on the second place, and only a minimal mathematical chance for the places 3 to 5 to threaten him.

Some "shadow favorites" like myself and Nemesis ended in the belly of the league, due to various reasons called real life (renovations and a baby on the way for one, an epic thinking he is still 20 for the other), others lived up to their reputation and fought on until the end to try and take the prices.

And Mike just swarmed everything with his Orks, ending in the top ranks under the motto that quantity is a quality in itself in played games, challenging a hefty 19 out of 28 players this league.

In the end, 222 battles have been fought, with 28 players taking the fight to the table.  That means an average of 7.92 games per player has been fought over the 11.5 month period.

Of those 28, 16 players managed to claim the painting points, a heavy 5 point bonus of fielding a painted army at least once.

Here is as such the full table of results:

1. Tom Jacobs - 57 ptn
2. Jo Strubbe - 45 ptn

Thanks all for participating, and good luck to the person who will take on the mantle as club league 2020 organiser, in whichever game system it may be.  It is a rewarding and fun thing to do as a TO, but take into account the paperwork pressure!

The prices will be handed out during the new years reception at the club.
