Thanks to everyone who has participated this season!

With the win against TFC, this wraps up the first half of Pick 'em.

Some fun stats:

• Average Score: 19.72
• Highest Score: u/Neekafour with 43 points for the March 21 @ Philly
• Lowest Score: u/Fut-TranslatorTTP, u/Chicago_fire_fan, u/Dailyshowfan88 rounding out the bottom of a few early season matches

But, for the main reason we're here, the winner, with 323 points is u/Justaladytoday!!!
