This is awkward! I agree with Arnie regarding the prestigious and historical supremacy of the Guru win:- it requires team picking skill AND match prediction skill AND an informed knowledge of the potential of lower ranked players as well as measured risk taking. It also embraces 4 of these challenging 2 week tests. For that reason, had Marco also played TDC throughout the year, we might not be having this discussion. As a relative newcomer myself this vote for Marco reflects my grasp of the consensus in the group about the relative weight of the different competitions. I do acknowledge though that Murree has had a superb first full year on TDC and I am in awe of his Vader win and had Marco not participated then Murree would be the unquestionable choice.
So, no, it’s not about personalities but it does raise questions re the level of participation needed to qualify for the award and about the extent of the consensus regarding  the relative weight of Guru v other achievements.
Hats off to both!!

Thanks for your kind words Arvis and for your entertaining summaries. Congratulations to other winners:- ESPECIALLY EDU!!

Sincere condolences DTrain, losing a parent is always tough. Looking forward to competing with you next year. Thanks for the reminder about those early starts Adunar.

Thanks Tono and congrats to all.

Yes, Murree is the star of this show!,

Shutting down your season might help me to achieve a slightly more respectable overall score in Vader TE!! I’m very grateful to Aiur for missing the last couple of weeks!

The thing Is, we all have random picks and most are a shot in the dark, but TD's 'random picks' have a more strategic touch. .....Actually Spotec seemed to have the same 'affliction for a while last year!! .....

It's uncanny! What prompted Tenedab to pick Gasparyan!

Thanks Milo.

Hey Milo, just noticed I got a Green Quartet in Shanghai 2017!

Nice one DTrain!!

Simply making your target more 'aspirational' ha ha!!
