Another Season in the Books

We have come to a thrilling conclusion to another Pargon season. For the first time since the 2013-2014 seasons, both season-ending awards have been retained by the same people.

HSBrian keeps his Zammuto title and is the 4th person (2007, 2010, 2014) to win the Zammuto Points Title after being behind in the race entering the final week. This is his second championship hardware in his 9 seasons.

LP Jim defended his Lord Pargon Championship, having won the title of LP three times in the last five years. His 6th all-time Lord Pargon puts him 1 behind HSPat, the career leader with 7. LP Jim also has 13 career combined LP/Zammuto awards, the most all-time.

The final week was a battle, with HSPaul and HSBrian having chances to take the top spot. Victories by LPJim in the early games put him ahead for good. HSPaul was able to force a tiebreak playoff in both 2013 and 2014 but couldn't reach it this time.

HSJimmy and HSPat finished out the standings, with HSJimmy doing enough to avoid hosting the Winter Meeting. His point total of 9 ties his worst season ever (2012, 2014). HSPat finishes last in the standings for the first time since 2009 and will host the Winter Meeting.
