A little early yet and the site has not put up the contest. As a reminder of last years finish, here was the Awards presentation. Winners, keep it up. Those that were down in the rankings, here is your motivation for revenge this year! Now for the Awards Banquet Presentation! The French wanna be award: This award goes to the member that rose the white flag the quickest. For this year, that “honor” belongs to Fitz for his one and done performance. Tim Gentry gave him a run for his money but Fitz valiantly held on to his struggle to remain in contention for this award. The Wrecker or Checker award: This award is given to the member who either finished High or Low… not much in between. This years award goes to Bryanspicks. He had 7 top ten finishes, a first place, five second places, and a third place. No other top ten finishes awarded and he finished tied for 3rd place. The Top 10 NOT award: goes to the member that competed at least 10 weeks who had the least amount of top ten finishes: This award goes to NOTYOURDADSBIGTEN. He had 2 top ten finishes. Could have had something to do with his 20 point rule. The Mr. Inconsistent award: This award goes to the person with the most weekly wins while having the least top 10 weekly finishes. This year, the honor goes to IrishPickedMoreWinners. He had 2 weekly wins (tied for the most) and 6 total top 10’s making 33% of his top ten’s being wins. The Mr. Consistent award: This award goes to the member that finished the highest without ever having a weekly win. This year, this honor goes to John Deere finishing in first place (actually tied for first) with eleven top ten finishes and zero weekly wins. The “I am Woman hear me roar” award: this award goes to the highest placing female in the group. This year’s award goes to Lady Vol falling from a second place finish last year to a 6th place finish this year. The Big Ten winner: The Big Ten fans on the board compete for the top position for their conference. This year’s Big Ten winner is John Deere. Not only did he beat the other Big Ten members (edging out Return of Lloyd by a tie breaker), he beat everyone. Congrats! The 12Pac winner: (Corey and JO’Co are Irish first so they do not compete in this category). The 12Pac fans on the board compete for the top position for their conference. This year’s 12Pac winner is Bear Down Rick. Congrats! The SEC winner: The SEC fans on the board compete for the top position for their conference. This year’s SEC winner is Bryanspicks. Congrats! The Independent winner a.k.a. the highest ND finisher: The ND fans on the board compete for the top position for their non-conference. This year’s winner is Gipicks. Congrats! The Moderator division winner: This award goes to the highest placing moderator on the board. This year’s Moderator winner is Dooley’s Orange Machine. Congrats! Third place: An 11th place finish in the final week for One and a 2nd place for the other created a tie for third place between Dooley’s Orange Machine and Bryanspicks that had to be settled by the Yahoo site. The winner of this year’s 3rd place trophy as picked by the site tiebreaker criteria is Bryanspicks. Second place: This year’s second place winner started in 7th place in week one. By week two, he had jumped into first place. He never relinquished that position for the duration of the contest but fell to a tie for first in the last week. The site dropped him to second. This year’s second place trophy winner is Return of Lloyd. First place: By week 4, this member had slipped into 2nd place and stayed there for the remainder of the contest until tieing for first in the last week. Tiebreaker goes to him. He moves up from the 3rd place trophy last year to the first place trophy this year. This year’s first place trophy goes to John Deere.
Must have some time on your hands, Tom! :lol: :lol: Good stuff though. Surely you could have found a way to manipulate the stats to make me a winner in some category, any category! :wink: :wink:
... and the drill and fill award goes to the member that dug the deepest hole and filled it in on top of himself. Last year's award goes to LoneStarIrish with his 19th place finish. You asked for it... Imagine, a dentist getting the "drill and fill" award! :wink:
Not much time on my hands... just enough to find the standings topic from last year and do a copy and paste!
The game is ready. I just renewed the group from last year. As long as you have access to the e-mail account you used to register last year, you should now have an invitation in your inbox.
