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. Winnipeg has put together an impressive streak of Challenge Cup Finals appearances, but has no hardware to show for their dominance in the west so far. What do the Aurora have to do differently to get over the hump this year?

b. Buffalo, fresh off a rebuild, crushed their way through the first two rounds of these playoffs after coming in as a wildcard, scoring two consecutive sweeps against two of the best teams in the East. Have the Stampede convinced you? If so, what sold you?

c. Two very different teams took two very different routes to the Cup Final: which of them impressed you more? Why?

d. If it ain't broke don't fix it: Who you got? Who wins? Why?

A. What does Winnipeg have to do to finally break that seal? Im telling you it is simple as goat sacrifices. See that's what the Gms are scared to say to their players. The Sim GODS (yes I'm a polytheistic believer) require sacrifices. Since the traditional sacrifices of spending hours of your life sim testing are gone, you have to be willing to kill a Black Phillip or two. That's just history.

D. I got to give it Buffalo, but that's because I'm an old head and I know Buffalo is just built like that. They are hot and they will continue to put up a good series with the Aurora. Also, nothing good happens in Winnipeg so why should it start now? Boom roasted. Buffalo has fought their way there and while WPG isn't new to the finals they just haven't demonstrated the will to win, unlike the storied history of Buffalo. They just won't be able to crack it.

5. Written, 3 TPE, Blood on the Ice (150 words min)

Continuing an emergent tradition: this year's final features a god-bear of cosmic wind facing an unfamiliar rival on a familiar battleground: this year, the great glowing north faces a furious herd of buffalo! Tell me who wins and why! The arena and the rules of the fight can be whatever you desire. Get creative!

The buffalo are given sabers that are attached to their hooves to give themselves an edge. The northern lights are forced to take on corporeal form as otherwise, the fight would be unfair, but they too are given sabers. The arena is simple. You take a hockey rink and increase its size by about 26%, remove the ice, and place some nice dirt. However, you make it into a slight bowl. Not a deep one but a slight one, and then you're essentially set. However, sharpshooters line the area to enforce the rules. The rules are simple, the corporeal light people must convince the buffalo to peacefully commit seppuku, while the buffalo attempt to find out if light people are capable of bleeding. The light people only use the sabers in self-defense. Yes, this may be one-sided, but light people are terrifying. So I am going to put my money on the buffalo because I don't know how you will communicate with a Buffalo to do a complex thing like seppuku
