The FLUFFY BUNNIES: REDUX have made quite the comeback and tied the JUDY MURRAYS.

So.. there are no rules for breaking a tie. I suppose this means all eight of you get the prize?

I blame Jaychu for not picking the same picks as the entire team

Oh yeah!

 

[seffina]

Heh. Next year the tiebreaker will be your general league scores combined. Then your percentage and then ..... I hope it's still not tied after that.

 

[Li Ching Yuen]

Did I hear this just right? Seff confirming another full year of TPL with an improved TB rule for the WTF tournament.

Sounds good to me.

**** you Roger, for failing to serve it out.

 

[kishnabe]

NO WAY >.<

How could the Bunnies come back. Congratz to the Bunnies.

• Congratulations to kishnabe for finishing with the highest ever year end #1 total. He's guaranteed to be #1 until at least the completion of Indian Wells.

Good job Dcdoorknob and Saloni as runner-ups....again Saloni good job in the singles too.

Thank for Jaychu, Seffina and NYKings for running all the events this year.

Telepatic...thanks for being my partner for the whole year...could not have made the top 8 dbls without you.

Happy to end at the top...looking forward for Australia....to see how I fail to defend.

 

[Telepatic]

Congrats to singles and doubles winner as well thanks for running this as usual!

Thank for Jaychu, Seffina and NYKings for running all the events this year.

Telepatic...thanks for being my partner for the whole year...could not have made the top 8 dbls without you.

Hehe, ur the #1! All in all, nice season, we can do better at slams next year.

 

[Sentinel]

 

[bezs]

Thank you running for the hardwork and time running this all year long, hope you guys have a great off season.

Not too bad getting 4th with Boozy considering we were not supposed to be in it anyway.

Didn't have a great year in the doubles but hey it just means less points to defend next year.

Have a great holiday season one and all!

 

[lonux]

We tied with the Judy Murrays? Hilarious!

Honestly, I just saw the picks of kpxjam and I decided to take over those picks in a desperate moment. Well, it worked!

Horrrrible tournament for me though. But yeah anyway, congrats to Breaker for taking away my title and also to the doubles winners of course.

 

[NYKings]

Congrats to all the winners and runner-ups!

Thank you to seff for partnering with me all year and for brilliantly running this all year. Without your hard work, none of us would partake in the fun that is TPL.

Thank you to Jay for running H2H as well. It's much appreciated.

 

[Breaker]

Yeah thanks for running this all year brings a bit more fun to the matches.

Let's win some doubles titles next year BD, I'm calling it early as surprise finalists for Australia

 

[aphex]

Thanks Seff and jay for another year of flawless organization!
Also congrats Kish for a great year!

Finally, now that my partner, Blink, has gone missing, I'm looking for a new one for 2012...If anyone's interested, let me know...

 

[Big_Dangerous]

Yeah thanks for running this all year brings a bit more fun to the matches.

Let's win some doubles titles next year BD, I'm calling it early as surprise finalists for Australia

Agreed!

Can't wait for Australia, but I'll enjoy my 6 weeks off.

Nice to take a break and do other things.

Currently catching up on all the seasons of Big Bang Theory.

2011 Top Ten Rankings & Race:

Okay, I think I've scared you all with enough statistics. Clearly, I love statistics! Wish I could be the stats guru guy on the ATP World Tour
There are some other stats in the H2H League File for your review.

I would like to thank seffina for doing an excellent job of running TPL. Without her, this league will not be properly managed and administered.
Thank you to NYKings for acting as a backup and helping out whenever you can.
Thank you to everyone for playing TPL and H2H. We definitely would not have as much fun running things and having a good time.

I wish you all a safe and happy holidays. See you guys at the 2012 Australian Open!

La la wrong Barclays Thread.

Just a "legend" on a mission to becoming a "G.O.A.T", no?

From a H.O.F'er a little further from promotion to "Legend"...LOL!
