The Pacers season has come to close and with it the first Twoahh Season Prediction Tournament. The year started off rough as Ty looked broken and the Pacers were sluggish prompting many of us to wonder, "Are we doomed?" Thankfully, the season took a strong 180° with Nembhard's return and Ty regaining his star status. They would play the rest of the year on a 57-win pace demanding the respect of their opponents. Thankfully, helping us avoid a catastrophe with regards to the predictions.

NortheastNightmare led from start to finish throughout the tournament, never giving up possession of his lead, though sharing throughout and ultimately tying with myself at the end with 52 correct game predictions. A dominance that should recognized and applauded. But the points did not end there and so came the time to add up the extra points for predicting the Pacers season record.

Dwaink and Full Sail hit the nail on the head as they predicted a 50-win season for the blue-and-gold earning the full 10-extra points. Next is RandomPacersFan who missed the mark by one earning 7-extra points. After that Hilliard and NortheastNightmare took home 4-extra points after missing by 2. Following them up was Hoosiers47 and Rubalamp who were off by 4 earning themselves 1-extra point. Rounding it all out was myself, Kahonu, and Drunkle Reg who missed respectively by 8, 5, and 9 games to get 0-extra points.

After tallying it all up, we get this outcome:

  1. Dwaink - 60 points
  2. NortheastNightmare - 56 points (tied for second)
  3. RandomPacersFan - 56 points (tied for second)
  4. Infinityzero.systemerror - 52 points (tied for fourth)
  5. Full Sail - 52 points (tied for fourth)
  6. Kahonu - 49 points
  7. Hilliard - 48 points
  8. Hoosiers47 - 47 points
  9. Drunkle Reg - 45 points
  10. Rubalamp - 43 points

CONGRATULATIONS TO DWAINK!!

You have won Twoahh's inaugural season prediction tournament and the first of many, hopefully. For your efforts you have earned bragging rights and a Tyrese Haliburton City Edition jersey! Now hopefully, you'll get to also enjoy the Pacers hoisting a championship at the end of the playoffs while wearing your well-earned prize.

I want to thank everybody who participated and followed along. I think this initial tournament was an overall success that we can build upon for future iterations. I already have ideas about how to improve the tournament by refining the format a bit and adding more opportunities for extra points but that will have to wait until next season.
