State of the 4545 League

by @SpiteKnight

 

Season 13 of the League has come to an end. Thank you to everyone who participated, played fairly and in the right spirit, it led to yet another enjoyable season to be a part of.
Team Sac It and See took first place, despite losing their final round, which ended their undefeated run. Leaving only the second placed, team Preparation H-File as an undefeated team. Third place went to team Gang Of Dark Squares. Congratulations to them! Full summary of Season 13 can be found here. Top 3 player standings for each board are listed below.
With the end of the League season and the LoneWolf season, it's time for the end of season surveys.

Please take a couple minutes to provide highly valuable feedback, contrary to popular beliefs our mods are democratic people and will listen to your suggestions. It is also needed to decide the starting date for the next season. Also, the League survey lets you provide any suggestions you may have towards the improvement of the ledger, so please do let us know if we can do something better. Time permitting, we will do our best to implement your suggestions. Thank you.

We’re still collecting donations for our end of season video reviews by none other than GM Niclas Huschenbeth. Please contribute if you can, this is the first time we have an opportunity to have a GM review the games, so we should make the most of it.

We have some sad news you guys, @quirked has informed the mods that he can no longer stream on ChessLeagueTV due to time constraints and has given the channel back to the mods. So unless we have someone willing to take over, ChessLeagueTV is no more. 
Nevertheless, thank you @quirked for all the content and education, it will be sorely missed! 

Updates on other leagues:
Blitz Battle #37 was hosted on Saturday,
@badplayer_cm finished 1st,

Congratulations!
