It's time again to present the awards and the results for this season of the Tabletop Republic Warhammer 40k 2000pt league! This blog will go through the missions, the results, and the statistics from this season, which ran from April to June 2023.
THE LEAGUE
The 2000pt Tabletop Republic 40k league is comprised of 5 games (normally 6, but reduced due to 10th edition's release date) played over 3 months. This season increased the number of players from 19 to 22
TABLE
The final table above shows the full standings for each player - with their placings based on the following criteria
1. Total wins

Fire and Dice's Sid Sidhu won the league despite a last gasp attempt by reigning champion Jonathan Partridge, who had to settle for a close second, with Sam Smith third for a second podium in a row
