Thank you to everyone who participated, voted, and helped keep things moving along. An extra special thanks to Abnorman for training, saying his prayers, eating his vitamins, and making the playlists.

Since many of us developed the admirable habit of actually listening to the teams before voting I want to keep the size of the rounds small.

in

This one is gonna be tough to vote in, but I'll give it a bash.

The main trouble I have is getting past my firm belief that my team in each era was substantially better than those that have progressed to here. Oh well:

"This isn't a court of justice, son, this is a court of law" and all that. Better put on my big boy undies and give it a shot.
