Congrats to all winners and the honorable mentions! I'm very thankful that my guide was recognized. Good luck to everyone in next year's contest as well.
Gratz to all the winners! Glad I got an HM in the Sharpshooter category, 3rd place isn't too bad considering who I was up against (assuming the fact the second HM was second)
