Good job everyone! Some special congratulations are in order:

Boeningpower, whose solid performance makes him the only other finalist who would have earned a spot on the US team...nicely done man!

theballsflop,whose staggering 4 cashes allow him to go head-to-head against people with over 10 times as many winnings

thecentaur, who, despite not playing for the last month after his seemingly baseless blackballing from SBR store, still has a high enough score to captain either Team Europe or Team World...well done sir!

and last but not least, SBR...despite cramming a painfully inadequate square peg into a round hole by making 80% of players compete for 25% of finalist spots over a grueling 4+ months, at least it gave us a bunch of dailies with good overlays, which allowed dozens of US players who didn't make the US team to win more during the dailies than the tiny prizes offered to the winners. I think I speak for all of those who suggested numerous improvements that went unheeded: as long as their are dailies with overlays, a terrible contest is better than none!
