Congrats Streets of Rage on winning 1st place! They/Fritz scored a successful double on the last round (surprise, surprise) for the win. Ready Player Juan had the lead going into the last round, but came up a few/several/many songs short and finished in 2nd. Risking Risky Behavior and Folie A Deux were tied for 3rd place with Folie winning the tiebreaker. A special thanks to the player from Boofing who showed us his Jack Torrance impression from "The Shining." It might be better than Nicholson's 🙂
