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 Season 3, which ran from July to September 2023.
THE LEAGUE
The 2000pt Tabletop Republic 40k league is comprised of 6 games played over 3 months, with each round lasting 2 weeks. This season was the first of 10th Edition and we had 18 total players during the league.
TABLE
Sam continued his dominanant 2k league performance and finally got his first league win with his CSM. Jon got his second 2nd place in a row, and Hristo got his first podium in the league.
The final table above shows the full standings for each player - with their placings based on the following criteria
1. Total wins
2. Points Scored
3. Win Strength of Schedule
Next season will use the official 40k Tournament suggestions, with the placings being based on wins > strength of schedule > points scored
NB: Sid requested to quit the league R4 and rejoin as a new player in order to change factions

...and that's the league report done! The first round of leagues I was not participating in so I didn't gather as much info as I normally do, but hopefully I'm able to be the spare player for the 1k or 2k next season. Congrats again to Sam and JP for getting their 3rd podium in a row, and for Hristo for grabbing the final spot.
Let me know if I got anything wrong - otherwise see you very soon for the next 1k league blog and in 3 months for the next 2k blog!
