I had been having calls concerning leagues that had no playoffs. I wanted to give some GMs who do not play H2H leagues a chance to experience a H2H league (without a playoff). Maybe this would be attractive. The CEO Ladder type League Purse might just be the TRUEST form of Competition! Each position ranks Higher $s!

2012 -- I knew this league would be TOUGH to fill up. I was right. I got plenty of GMs, but everyone waited to see who else was paying. I was getting emails from GMs in the league saying they would drop if I did not get so-and-so many teams. In the end we ended up with 10 teams.
Season Finish: 1. Willie Horton 2. Judicial Activists 3. Velvet Elvis 4. Northsiders 5. City of Champions 6. Rose 3 7. Skippy Peanut Butter 8. 69 Village 9. Glassbreakers (Commish) 10. Drunk Cubs Fan
This league's inaugural season was easily GST's smallest, but also most competitive league! With it being an UltraPremium Pro league, with its 3 entries into the Tournament of Champions, it is, by far, the easiest path into the TOC. Though small, it was littered with the who's who in GST!
There was, never during the course of the season, a good tell who the Best Team was! The lead changed week to week! I reckon Willie Horton (the Silent Deadly Detroit Hammer) led the most--but in the end he had to leapfrog both Judicial Activist and Velvet Elvis in the very last week (there are NO playoffs) to cap off his Most Incredible Season in almost unbelievable style!!
This league put him well, Well, WELL over 4 Thousand dollars in Yearly (yes, I said 2012) Winnings!!! I suspect he made more inside GST last year than some of our GMs made themselves for the year.

2013 -- Once again, we had a hard go of filling up. Lots of teams dropped out, but in the end we got 14 teams for a Big Expansion!
Season Finish: 1. Bleach 2. Judicial Activists 3. City of Champions 4. Score Lords 5. Shang Hai Grand 6. Squeeze Play 7. Glassbreakers (Commish) 8. Drew III 9. Willie Horton 10. Moon Trump 11. Northsiders 12. 69 Village 13. Mayo I 14. Drunk Cubs Fan
So began the Fantasy Guru Era! He DOMINATED this league, with both Moves and Win% (.626)! He was 40+ games ahead by the End! The Rest of Us pretty much BATTLED it out for position all year long though! Poor Drunk Cubs Fan came in Last AGAIN!

2014 -- Would Drunk Cubs Fan answer the bell -- of COURSE he would!
Season Finish: 1. Fantasy Guru 2. Willie Horton 3. Batmen 4. Drunk Cubs Fan 5. Glassbreakers (Commish) 6. Waterloo Wildcats 7. Vin Scully's Boys 8. Squeeze Play 9. Village 69 10. Score Lords 11. Long Island Firedogs 12. BALCO 13. DC Cubs 14. Dunedin Blue Jays
Fantasy Guru didn't DOMINATE like he did last year. He ended up with HALF the lead he had last year, and it took him all YEAR to build it up to that. For much of the year, the lead wasn't his or was in question. He became the league's first Back-to-Back Champion! The question now is will he BOTHER to return to make it MORE than that? GST has NEVER had a Back-to-Back-to-Back Champion ANYWHERE -- EVER!??

2015 -- No Fantasy Guru! I think Everybody was Excited for their chances this year! With EVERY POSITION in the Standings meaning MORE $s in the GMs Pocket, the Competition is FIERCE for EVERY POSITION till the LAST DAY of the Season!! GST does not call this league The Crown Jewel of GST for nothing!! So GLAD to have Velvet Elvis back in GST, especially HERE!
Season Finish: 1. Willie Horton 2. Velvet Elvis 3. Drunk Cubs Fan 4. This is Dog 5. Glassbreakers (Commish) 6. The American Dream 7. Northsiders 8. Vin Scullys Boys 9. K is for Kershaw 10. Batmen 11. Long Island Firedogs 12. DC Cubs 13. 700 14. Waterloo Wildcats
So how CLOSE and FIERCE was the Competition??!!? Not counting the Last Place Team -- E.V.E.R.Y.B.O.D.Y.! was within LESS than .100 Win%!!! With EVERY POSITION in the Standings meaning MORE $s, the competition Picked Up Steam EACH WEEK and didn't stop growing until the Last Day of the Season -- for EVERYBODY!! Willie Horton, on his way to Beating his GST's Greatest Season Ever of 3 years ago -- took the Lead late and wouldn't give it up! There has Only Been 2 Champions in this league Ever! It's been proven -- to Win THIS LEAGUE, you HAVE to be Somebody Very SPECIAL!!! That's just a PROVEN FACT Jack!!!!
Special Kudos to Drunk Cubs Fan. After having been Last all the Early Years of this league, he has come Roaring since! While he dropped back to only 1 position better than last season in the last week of this season, he Led More Weeks than Anybody Else THIS year!!
