Sudoku Franchise Faceoff
It’s nice to work as part of a team. These franchises have been balanced so that the total points that each team earned last year is the same this year. Who will score the most points this year?
For each of the first six GP rounds, the total points will be added for each franchise and teams awarded credit in the league table. The top four teams after round 6 qualify for the playoffs to win the overall title! In the event that a player has a score far worse than their average last year (or doesn’t compete), their contributing score cannot be lower than 100 below their average from last year. If a player authors a round, they contribute their average from last year.
