This is one last footbal version of the felixbowl and it will close out my activities for the summer. This is different than the other event I just made right before this so yea I'm sorry for the confusion.
The format will be similar to the other bowls, hopefully it will be as epic.
As usual anyone is invited, as long as they are on time.

What I Wrote in 2011's Felix Bowl, A History
What I Remember NowAfter a summer filled with new look Felixbowls, it was time to get back to the basics and end the summer with a football battle that was Felixbowl VII. Mark Pyfer was unfortunately absent for the first time in Felixbowl history, a surprising turn of events which led to first time captain John Miller taking the helm. Unfortunately Miller’s team struggled and was eliminated early. McGrath’s team struggled to shut down Ian Leopold as Ed Brown connected with him during some key moments, giving Leopold’s team a bye to the title. After a tough fought, slightly controversial at points semi final, McGrath’s team stamped out Felix’s, with key catches from Hordeski and McGrath and of course one of the unsung heroes of the tournament Dave Lerman. It set up a dramatic rematch in the championship game between Ian’s Leopold and McGrath. After taking an early lead on key catches from Dan Johnson, Leopold’s team looked poised to take the championship, but Fleischer led some key drives for his team as they stayed composed even in the 2 minute drill. It was an exciting back and forth championship that went into an epic overtime finale. Ultimately when all was said and done and the dust was cleared from a controversial pass interference call, McGrath and company had overcome all obstacles. History was made as Lerman took his first title and his 4 teams added another ring. Fleischer became just the third player in Felixbowl history to win his first three Felixbowl appearences (the other two won the first three, which included two 2 team bowls, neither of said players have won a Felixbowl since), and Ian McGrath won his third straight title and his fourth in five years. McGrath became the winningest player in Felixbowl history with 4 championships. He has won 4 out of his 5 bowl appearances and has been in the championship every year he has played.
Couldn't really tell you much. It sounds like it was a pretty epic final, but I think I was just watching sadly so I probably blocked out this stretch from my memory. I actually think that this tournament and the next 1 or 2 surrounding it were awesome finals that I was not apart of.
By the looks of things McGrath won again which spawned the title for the next championship event. There also appeared to be a somewhat controversial pass interference call based on the event comments.
