State of the 4545 League

by @SpiteKnight

Season 12 of the League has come to an exciting end with a close finish (coincidentally that is exactly what my fictional girlfriend prefers). Team 'We're not OK with any name, actually.' took first place by beating team 'All You Need is Luft', who finished third. Taking advantage of the abovementioned matchup, team 'Pineapple Pizza Connoisseurs Reloaded' finished second with half a point extra in their game points column. Congratulations to the three teams on a great season!
Final standings for each board are provided below.
Survey for the League has ended, thank you to those who took the time out to fill it.
New Season of the League begins on 2nd July, teams for the same will be announced on 24th/25th of June.
Registrations for Season 13 are open, teams are formed on a first come-first serve basis.

@colwem is hosting the unofficial board championships again, where the top 4 players on each board play a knockout style 2 game competition to decide the champion for each board! Exciting opportunity for a select few to play more long games during this unwelcome break between the seasons.
