I’m rooting for the Hero Shock Rifle Battalion though. Easily my favorite Formation in Bagration since BF made the Assault Sapper Battalion sadly what it is.

So which list (and player) won it?

There were three drops. The Sapper payer was one of those.

Who won and how did you do Tom? Any home court advantage? Was home court a disadvantage based on distractions?

The above image has the participants listed in the order they place. So John Cedarberg, top of the above list won.
The event was in my hometown, and I was 4th to last. So much for hometown advantage. Though I did beat James Best Jr. (Top player from 2019-2020) and Chris Jackson, so I managed at lest two quality rounds.

Hoping someone can clear up a question regarding the 116th Panzer Division Greyhound CC from D-Day: German.
The card states: “All Units in this Formation lose Third Reich, and have a Last Stand rating of 5+ and a Tactics rating for 4+ for -2 points per Unit.”
And: “Total cards (must equal the number of Units in the Formation)”
The question: Does this include the HQ (which becomes free), and all non-Support units, which also makes the 8cm mortars free? Essentially, can you recoup up to 22 points if you fielded every slot of the Panzergrenadier Formation?
It seems clear from the card you can recoup up to 22 points and get a few units for free, but that also seems a little weird to start giving formations free HQ and other units. Maybe it was intended only for the Infantry Units?
How was it played at the Masters?

Re: US 2020 FoW Masters 100pt lists - which one will go all the way?
You are correct.
You get 2 points for every unit in the formation, making the HQ effectively free, and the 2 stand mortar platoon 1 point.
Filling every box will get you 22 points back as you stated.
This is why the Greyhound card is so good. The benefit you get (2 points per platoon) greatly outweighs the things that you lose, in my opinion at least. I do not bring PanzerGrens without it (As evidenced by my list at #7 above..........
