This is probably a silly question considering where I am asking, but how many victories does it take to become a "superchamp?" Perhaps knowing that is part of the question, but I wasn't sure if this is a standard definition or your definition.
6 or more wins.
Regular season, only, yes?

On #2, is this the highest total winnings from regular shows, or the highest single-show winnings from regular shows?

I'm finally in. I had to do a lot of counting and remembering for the VPs, Series teams, and superchamps.

For this game, I decided to put down what I thought was the most obvious answer just to see how I'd do. I even pressed my luck on what I thought was the sheepiest answer of the whole game.
