The games are played, the scores are in, and now it's time to announce the overall winners for the 2014 Good, Bad and Ugly Tournament. This has been a record breaking year with 8 Legs played, and I lost count of the number of players involved, but I am thinking somewhere around 60-70.

The top place winners came in with some really good scores and it was close in that we had a tie for first place overall, which was decided by accounting for the number of losses the two tied players had with a 2 point difference!
