WCOFF Decided by Less Than a Point
How close was the championship matchup in your league with your buddies? Odds are it wasn’t any closer than the final margin in the World Championship of Fantasy Football.
Poochie Bennish’s Fantasy Papa edged Robbie Brown’s Ray Ray’s Revenge by a mere .85 of a point. One more reception by Bears running back Matt Forte in the season’s final Monday night affair, and the final two would have been reversed.
Although most pay leagues include a significant difference between the payouts to the first- and second-place finishers, this tight race meant a gap of $240,000. The winner took home $300,000. (For the mathematically impaired: The runner-up earned $60,000.)
Of course, both players come away with a hefty return on their investments. The rest of us can merely take heart a bit in the fact that even at the highest levels of our fantasy competitions, among the best-prepared competitors, there’s still room for some luck.
