Solotrombone Wins 2020 Player of the Year Title

 

ALL OF YOUR HOMES, USA - For the second time in MPT history, a player came from behind in the last event of the season to win the Player of the Year race. After earning his second win of the season in late November Solotrombone trailed Syrorange3042 by seven points going into the Main Event, but a strong third place finish in the final event of the year catapulted Solotrombone to the top of the standings, holding off a surging RowanB, who finished the year with back to back second place finishes to fall just short of the top spot.

Both Solotrombone and RowanB eclipsed Bigfus' record for points in a single season, set in 2010, though RowanB played in two more tournaments than Bigfus did that year and Solotrombone benefited from larger fields throughout the 2020 season. Nonetheless, with two victories and two other cashes in seven events played en route to the third highest cash total in MPT history Solotrombone's season stands among the most successful in MPT history.

Here are the complete "Sealy Cup" point standings for the 2020 season.
