Final Results | Super Trifecta Bowl II
The Bowl Which Shall Not Be Named Picks and Results
In the final leg, Big Tuna makes his move and distances himself from the rest of the field. His Home Team Broncos poach the defensive Reverse PC Fecta points from The Bookie in the final game.
Unfortunately for Le Grande Tuna, The Bookie dug deep and willed herself to the finish line.
And the winner of Super Trifecta Bowl II is…
Super Trifecta Bowl II
The Bookie! In The Bookie’s first official win, she started fast with The Strategist and Minds Blank, then kept up her pace just enough to fend off Big Tuna.
Big Tuna’s strategy was to run a steady pace through Super Trifecta Bowl II, and while he did not win, he edges Minds Blank for the place.
Minds Blank started at a blistering pace but gradually lost her advantage in the final rounds, but still proudly shows.
The Strategist and Wise Orangutan finish just behind the winners. Kal Krome made a respectable dash in the first leg, but then ran into the seeder redux improbabilities.
At the back, Little Tuna edges B-Reezy by a nose for seventh position on the basis of her Home Team’s Playoff Victory points in the Divisional Round.

Trifecta Points
The above game is the completion of the Championship Round of the Super Trifecta Bowl. A trifecta (pick three correctly) is worth 1 point in the Championship Round.
The two world professional football teams playing The Bowl Which Shall Not Be Named are the #1 seeds in the playoff tournament. The only points to be earned by Analysts without a Home Team in The Unmentionable Bowl can only earn points from a correct trifecta.
Analysts whose Home Teams are playing in the Championship Game may still collect 3 Reverse PC Fecta points for highest offensive score and lowest defensive score allowed.
No Player Hater, Seeder Redux, or Playoff Victory points are awarded for the outcome of the Championship Game.
Maximum Points Possible
One. Only one. Only if you picked the two teams in the Conference Championship Round.

Standings | Super Trifecta Bowl II | Championship Round (Preliminary)
Super Trifecta Bowl II
The Bookie capitalizes on her Home Team’s playoff victory (+3 points) to build an insurmountable lead (16 points) heading into the final leg of the season, The Bowl Which Shall Not Be Named.
In second place, Minds Blank (12 points), is finished for the season. Big Tuna (11 points) and The Strategist (11 points) trail by a length, but can overtake her with one more trifecta point. In case of a tie, the order of strength is: The Strategist (Base Trifectas), Big Tuna (Playoff Victory Points), and Minds Blank. Who will place? Who will show?
In fifth, Wise Orangutan (10 points) limps to the finish with a comfortable distance over Kal Krome (7 points) who can close the distance by a length.
B-Reezy, with a correct pick in the Championship Game, can take sole possession of seventh place… sending Little Tuna to a shameful defeat in the final Race of Season II of the World Football Trifecta League!
