= AWARD WINNERS =
Each Gameweek, there will be awards for some notable players and coaches:
MVP
With new records set by players this week, it was hard to choose but what would this league be if it wasn't for blocking? Some elf-based nonsense, that's what! It has to be Krakka-Gor who matched the all-time league record for casualties in one game.
Coach Rijssiej's persistent success at earning SPP for his players - 19 against the Crusherz and the 3rd time he has featured in this category this season - may lead to some reconsideration of how best to award this gong. Another brilliant performance by the Smasherz, with 5 players being involved in decisive actions, and the team that won last season's GDR South Division are in a real battle to win the Gork North Division this season.

The Piratz have lacked consistency this season and had not beaten an opponent on the field since gameweek 2, when they overcome Karak Norn Crusherz 1-0 at The Shrimp Bowl. Yes, it may have required a hell of a lot of luck. Yes, Nuffle was certainly not with Coach RobinFern on the day. But "Dazzling" Dribb Toofspitta finally lived up to his name and in a game of fine margins (one pass, just 39 rushing yards, one foul, no player with more than 8 blocks), one player having everything go right is often all that a coach needs.
= IN MEMORIAM =
For every winner, there must be a loser and, to give them their (final) moment in the limelight, we recognise those players who left us this week:
None! Whilst the coaches might breathe a sigh of relief, won't they think of the poor funeral directors, coffin makers, grave diggers, and bouquet arrangers whose families will go to bed on an empty stomach this week?
