Overall Winner

You'll be walking away with more than just the glory. You'll be getting:

Runner Up

You get nothing, but feel free to make a trophy for yourself like Brad did. You could then write a press release (2020 and 2021) to re-write LQCO history.

Your own monogrammed green jacket

Were you also thinking it would be awesome to get a Champion's Ring?
The fine folks at Ramsey's thought so, too.
