How many of you benefited from the Tifa and Zelda rallies? I'm 5 points off the leaderboard and lost something like 84 points to them :(.

Congratulations to Advokaiser, the Guru champion for the 2017 Best Year in Gaming contest.

It was fun. Easily my best showing.

Same here, my previous best was in CB9 where I was 44th. Almost certainly would have been on the leaderboard had the Tifa/Zelda rallies not happened.

If each team is listed in a row or column then just do =COUNTIFS(range, name1, range, name2)

You can extend this to see how many times 3 or more players are on the same team, just add the range and the next player.
