2. Written, up to 4 TPE - Grab Bag: Pick up to 4 Challenge Cup related topics to write about! Each topic is worth 1 TPE. Each answer must be 50+ words.

a. I'm not sure many people would have seen this coming. Two teams that joined the league at the same time, both making the finals and competing against each other for their franchise-first cup. So... who do think wins it all? The first time to the Challenge Cup Seattle Argonauts, that have been dismantling higher seeded teams through their entire playoff run? Or the President's Trophy winning Atlanta Inferno that are back with a vengeance after a S64 Challenge Cup defeat?

b. You can't talk about Seattle's run without talking about the dominant performance of starting goaltender Willie Miller, who has posted a .935 SV% heading into the finals. If your Atlanta, how do you solve this brick wall? If your Seattle, what do you do to make sure your guy stays hot?

c. Atlanta's big storyline is their incredible depth. They have eleven players that have logged 10 or more points so far in the playoffs. If you're Seattle, how do you try to contain three lines of unending offensive pressure? If you're Atlanta, how do you ensure everyone is able to continue to contribute against such a stellar defense?

d. Seattle's powerplay has been on fire contributing 14 goals up to this point, which comes out to almost 30% of their goals scored (50G total) in these playoffs. Atlanta on the other hand have managed just 5 power play goals, which is only 5% of their scoring (59G total). In your opinion-- is this a good thing for Seattle, or a good thing for Atlanta? Maybe a good thing for both? Do you think a dynamic team like Seattle that can capitalize on so many of their PP chances will lead to Atlanta playing scared-- worried about what might happen if they enter the box? Do you think a relentless Atlanta team that is so flush with even strength scoring is going to be too much for Seattle to take?

a. As a draftee of an expansion team seeing that both teams in the finals are expansion teams gives me hope that winning the cup is possible. I have to back my boy Vaseline Podcalzone and his Seattle Argonauts. I don’t think many people had them going all the way at the start of the season and I would like to see them do it.

b. You have to be happy for Willie Miller and his impressive net minding through the play offs. I am not sure that there is much they can do to get past him he has just been too dominate. As for Seattle, don’t change a thing, whatever you are doing it’s working so keep it up!

c. I am not jealous of Atlanta’s ability to score… ok maybe I am a little jealous but they are divisional opponents and I will never publicly compliment them. Seattle is going to have to play hard, make Atlanta scared to possess the puck, no puck means no shots and no shots means no goals.

10. Graphic, 3 TPE, Mulligan

Your player showed up to an off-season charity golf tournament. You were hoping the headlines would be about all the money you raised after school programs, but instead you made a huge mistake that overshadowed everything else. Show me your player screwing up enormously at a charity golf tournament. Was it a horrible shot? Falling in the lake? Misspeaking in an interview?

11. Graphic, 3 TPE, Participation Banner

The team’s owner is complaining that the rafters in your arena are looking empty. You’ve been tasked with creating a banner for one of your team’s achievements this season. Did you get eliminated in round one? Sounds like a banner to me! Did you lose a record number of road games? Banner! Win the cup? I guess that’s a banner too.

22. Written / Graphic, 3 TPE, Animal Rescue (150 words min.)

Your player has been asked to use some of their immense pro-athlete wealth to open up an animal rescue! Lucky for you, the type of animal was not specified, so it’s your call! What kind of animal does your player want to protect and why? Is it something you find cute? Something that actually needs help? Or do you just want a herd of llamas on hand to threaten your enemies with? As a graphic task, show me your player hard at work tending to whatever animals you’ve chosen.
