The Second Reckoning
Sep 1, 04:00—Sep 9, 03:59
Season 2 closed with four new teams on the ice and one of them holding the trophy. Le Council has kept the record since. Season 3 is already running, which Le Council notes without apology—a reckoning does not expire. Thirteen categories, one ballot each, final once submitted.
