6 touchdowns - Indestructible (Iron Crag Clawz)
4 touchdowns - Orzog Shugdurbam (Nordland Skull Smasherz)

8 fouls - Ougdula The Mauler (Zaragoz Goats); Skabzit Mudspitta (Nordland Skull Smasherz)

11 yards - Zurg Blackkrakka (Estalia Gutrippers); 6 yards - Kage Goremaw (Drakwald 'Ardboys); Patea Kojonez (Zaragoz Goatz)
= AWARD WINNERS =
Each Gameweek, there were awards for notable players and coaches. Now we can reveal the overall winners in each category:
4. Orzog Shugdurbam (Nordland Skull Smasherz) - In 6 games, Shugdurbam showed his scoring chops - 4 touchdowns and 90 rushing yards - as well as his punching power - 2 casualties from 16 blocks. A vital link in the Skull Smasherz chain.
3. ★ Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka ★ (Couronne Boars) - Perhaps his quality made the Boars a one-man team, but what quality! 52 blocks and 3 casualties on top of 3 touchdowns over 44 yards of turf in only four matches! Imagine if he had completed the season?
2. ★ Journey Ruth ★ (Karak Azgaraz Fanatics) - 8 touchdowns and 124 rushing yards in 7 games put Ruth as the leading scorer this season. He also through 25 blocks but without success.
1. Indestructible (Iron Crag Clawz) - 6 touchdowns and 139 rushing yards in 7 games also came with 17 blocks, 1 foul, and, surprisingly, 2 completions totally 3 yards. A true all-rounder!
3. Asteflix (Iron Crag Clawz) - Dropping points in his first match sparked something in Asteflix; his Clawz would win their next six games in a row, before succumbing in a close contest against the Skull Smasherz in overtime. Not only that but this achievement was made all the more impressive by the fact he did not take all of his draft picks.
2. Rijssiej (Nordland Skull Smasherz) - Having lost his Marquee Player in the regular season, the Nordlanders managed to secure the GDR South title and navigate the play-offs, getting to the Champions Cup final and nearly knocking the Fanatics juggernaut off of the tracks. With a more developed roster and a few select additions, they will be a major threat next season.
1. RobinFern (Karak Azgaraz Fanatics) - It's hard to look past the Champions! The Fanatics won every game they played with only the Drakwald 'Ardboyz able to prevent them scoring twice in a game. Journey Ruth, Grunk Gorefang, and Yargob Wartnose are the core to a very strong side who possess no more skills than other sides but RobinFern manages them with efficiency and precision.
= MVP =Where to begin? There can only really be four icons of the season competing for this incredible award.
4. Orzog Shugdurbam (Nordland Skull Smasherz) - In 6 games, Shugdurbam showed his scoring chops - 4 touchdowns and 90 rushing yards - as well as his punching power - 2 casualties from 16 blocks. A vital link in the Skull Smasherz chain.

= Golden Clipboard =Several coaches struggled to meet the demands of the league and so a few, a shining group of heroes, saw the GDR through and carried home the glory, or the scars.
3. Asteflix (Iron Crag Clawz) - Dropping points in his first match sparked something in Asteflix; his Clawz would win their next six games in a row, before succumbing in a close contest against the Skull Smasherz in overtime.
