You've got an off-by-1 error in your version history =) GeminiTeam won weeks 2-5, four weeks in a row, then Valkiries won because KomariousTeam knocked GeminiTeam out in week 6, then YinYang in week 7, and last week was week 8. -- Voidious

Oops! My mistake, I was too lazy to look it up. Thanks for the heads up. -- Kev
