The final quarter final of the end of season playoffs was between Rustie MacDonald and Nathen Aswell.

The more eagle eyed amongst you will note that Nathen has already been knocked out.

Due to unavailability of the qualifying Funkster, Nathen was the sheriff.

The sheriff is someone who has been knocked out but is allowed back in - with no furthr penalty.
