The 2010 IFB Champion: Sparland Hilltoppers

The playoffs in the Illinois Fantasy Baseball League have now concluded, and a champion has been declared.  After a long, dominating season that was repeated in the playoffs, the 2010 champion is:

SPARLAND HILLTOPPERS

Here are the results of the final match-ups for the season in the classification rounds:

• Championship
• Sparland Hilltoppers   9
• 2010 not a Holliday    2
• Third Place:
• JSloan    6
• BJ Penn  6
• JSloan winner based off of tiebreakers
• Fifth Place:
• BooBooCubs  10
• Most Daring    2
• Seventh Place
• Muse Academy Muses  3
• Ferris Indians                9

Congrats to every team on a successful first year in the Illinois Fantasy Baseball League.  Looking ahead to next year, here is a look at the order of the draft for the 2011 season:

1. Bushwackers
2. Quincy Dirtbags
3. Bambinos
4. Anabolic A Rods
5. Triple Crown
6. Bo Hart All Stars
7. Funky Cold Molina
8. All Balls No Strikes
9. Muse Academy Muses
10. Ferris Indians
11. Most Daring
12. BooBooCubs
13. BJ Penn
14. JSloan
15. 2010 not a Holliday
16. Sparland Hilltoppers

There also may be a possibility that some teams do not return for the next season.  If that is the case, the draft order will stay the same for all the teams in the league, and new teams will start out at the bottom.  For example:

• Bushwackers, Bambinos, and All Balls No Strikes did not return next season.  They occupy the 1, 3, and 8 slots in the draft order.  That would mean those three slots would move to the 14th, 15th, and 16th positions, and all other teams would move up in corresponding order.  That would mean Quincy Dirtbags would be first, Anabolic A Rods second, and so on.

Thanks again to everyone for a great first season, and look forward to year 2 in 2011!
