Welcome to the first finals of the FHM era, where the Edmonton Blizzard and the Hamilton Steelhawks will be squaring off for the chance to hoist the S53 Challenge Cup.
Here are this season's tasks for CW. The maximum, as always, is 16 TPE, uncapped. Mix and match whatever tasks you desire, but the maximum TPE to be earned from this is 16.
The deadline is Wednesday, May 13th at 11:59PM ET.
Please copy/paste the prompts (including the # of TPE) into your post; it makes it much easier to grade and track.
