Cephrir: Black Lotus, Duress, Bitterblossom
McMenno: Black Lotus, Black Lotus, Nissa, Voice of Zendikar
Gamma: Black Lotus, Manaforge Cinder, Dreadbore
Jelly: Black Lotus, Mental Misstep, True-Name Nemesis
Save the Dragons: Black Lotus, Black Lotus, Dread
As always, please check my work (especially regarding Nissa, Voice of Zendikar).
Cephrir vs McMenno: When Ceph goes first, he discards Nissa, Voice of Zendikar (since it costs 3 so discarding one black lotus isn't enough) and is able to win with Bitterblossom. When McMenno goes first, I believe that Nissa outpaces Bitterblossom with the +1/+1 counters and Bitterblossom's cost of life, and thus McMenno will win (this one gets pretty hairy to figure out, thanks a lot guys
) Both players receive 3 points.

Ceprhir vs Gamma: When Ceph goes first, he gets to discard Black Lotus. Gamma cannot play anything, so Ceph wins. When Gamma goes first, there's nothing to target with Dreadbore, and even if he waits one turn to do anything, there's nothing good to target with Dreadbore. Cephrir wins this one, too, and picks up 6 points.

Cephrir vs. Jelly: Jelly counters duress with Mental Misstep, True-Name Nemesis comes out, and though Ceph can whittle him down close, regardless of who goes first Jelly is able win. Jelly picks up 6 points here.

Cephrir vs. StD: When Ceph goes first, something something Distress something something Black Lotus, Ceph wins. When I go first, I get Dread out, any faeries that attacks me dies, and I do way more damage than 20 by the time he can block with 6 faeries. We each pick up 3 points.

McMenno vs Gamma: If McMenno plays his planeswalker, Gamma plays his creature and his removal. If McMenno does not, Gamma cannot bring out both at separate times, and thus a stalemate occurs, both players receive 2 points.
McMenno-DD
Gamma-DD
McMenno vs Jelly: Since the plants can't block True Name Nemesis, Jelly just keeps targeting Nissa until she dies, at best McMenno can get 2 1/2 plants out before Nissa dies, and thus Jelly wins both games and gets 6 points.
McMenno-LL
Jelly-WW
McMenno vs StD: Same as above, McMenno can't use the plants to block Dread. I can get rid of Nissa on turn 2, and I get 6 points.
McMenno-LL
StD-WW
Gamma vs Jelly: Jelly counters (or rather, prevents Gamma from playing) his Manaforge Cinder, so he doesn't even need to use his protection against Gamma to prevent his creature from being Dreadbore-d. Jelly picks up 6 points.
Gamma-LL
Jelly-WW
Gamma vs StD: I can't play Dread because he'll just destroy it with Dreadbore, so I don't, and he can't play his creature without using Dreadbore, so he doesn't. This is a draw, both players get 2 points.
Gamma-DD
StD-DD
Jelly vs StD: Protection doesn't do jack against Dread's ability to kill it, and Jelly can't block Dread to absorb the damage either since Dread has fear so he can't force the draw here. There's nothing to counterspell, I pick up 6 points.
Jelly-LL
StD-WW
Jelly: 18 points
Save The Dragons: 17 points
Cephrir: 9 points
McMenno: 5 points
Gamma: 4 points
Jelly wins with Black Lotus, Mental Misstep, and True-Name Nemesis!
