Prize Claim & Tiebreaker

Shawn Siegel — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 07:07:44 -0800

Hey guys,

Here are the winners & associated prizes. There was one tie, atop the National standings. In the past, I've broken ties by either a) giving it to the player with the most CHN Points, or b) doing a pick-off. I didn't officially mention a tie-breaker in the beginning of the season, so I'm reluctant to add one now. Instead, I'm going to split the prize between wagg & golddomefan, and do $90 Best Buy Gift Card each. Remember that you have the option of accepting PayPal instead of the gift card if you choose. All winners will be contacted by email this morning.There will be a three week period to claim your prize, if I don't hear back from you, then you won't get a prize.

Oddly enough there wasn't a single repeat winner from last year in the final standings.

National

117 pts wagg - $125

117 pts golddomefan - $50 + Basketball Book

115 pts evan1237 -- $25 + Book or DVD

Mid-Major
137 pts inflow -- $125
131 pts BFPWAG -- $50 + Basketball Book

wagg and golddomefan. As the defending champion, I know this is a hard contest to win. Hopefully you get some good prizes. I gave it a good run this year but fell a little short.

Pickem Prizes, Finally (And no I'm not dead)

Hey guys,

Sorry for disappearing for pretty much the last 2 or 3 months.. I'm still alive and kicking. Could make various excuses for where I've been, but no matter.. anyways, I have season-long pickem prizes set to go out.. once the final week wraps up.

Prizes - Best Buy Gift Cards (Note: You have the option of accepting payment by PayPal as well. Its up to you. Ie, instead of $100 gift card, you'll get $100 sent to a PayPal account of your choosing. The only kicker is if you accept over PayPal, you won't get the bonus book/dvd mailed to you (if you're prize includes a book or dvd.)

National

1st - $125

2nd - $50 + Basketball Book

3rd - $25 + Book or DVD

Mid-Major

1st - $125

2nd - $50 + Basketball Book

3rd -$25 + Book or DVD

Combined*

1st - $45 + Basketball Book

2nd - $25 + Book or DVD

*This is combined points between the two games. (If you win one of the main prizes too, this is added on.)

I'll send an email out about this shortly.. sorry again for going AWOL.

Shawn

Only picking the home team in every matchup? That's not much of a start!

The rules said something about a midseason prize an weekly prizes? I haven't heard much from Shawn or the other moderators lately.

Season Length?

Can't remember how far we go with this thing. Is it right up to the conference tourneys? Anyone know how many weeks that will be?
