It's all over! US Men and Swedish Women take Gold! And Japan Women take Bronze. Pool results are now official! See below the standings for prizes! And thanks for playing, everybody! Most wins: Who picked the most game winners correctly? Just keeping track for fun. All 39 pool games are complete! And Yvonne picked the most winners, with 21 of the 39 correct! She's followed by Doug, Keith, Brad (Supper's Ready) and Rozina, all with 19 out of 39. Then about 5 people with 18 out of 39. Good picking all!
Russian Doping Scandal: A small footnote about this. Since Russia's Mixed Doubles Bronze Medal was reawarded to Norway, I likewise changed the result of that Bronze match to a Norway win! That affected 4 people: Doug, Yvonne, Dan, and Melodie (Wild Card). As it turns out, this did not affect our standings at all. Our pool winner Doug received 2 extra points for this - but had he not, he still would have won, but only by one quarter of a point! Anyway... cheating is bad! That's our lesson here! hahahaa

Okay we're all done! With just 20 entries, that's normally a total $40 prize pool. BUT I've closed an inactive account ($3) to add to the first prize; I've thrown in an extra $2 for a last place prize; and one of our regulars threw in $3.50 to beef up prizes even more! So here goes: First prize goes to Doug, who wins $25.00, 50% of the top prize pool plus $5 bonus! Second prize goes to Terry, as Zaphod, and he scores $10.00, simply 25% of the top prize pool! 3rd place goes to Marc, as Here Kitty, his prize is $6.00 (simply 15%); and Chris (Blue) held on to take 4th, his prize is $5.00 (10% of the top prize pool plus $1 bonus). And normally, with less than 21 entries, there is no last place prize, but thanks to the extra donations, we have a $2.50 last place prize! Which goes to Melodie (Wild Thing oops Wild Card!) Hope that eases the sting. So that is the total prizes of $48.50! And one last note, for display purposes, the standings are sorted first by total points, then by number of wins, and finally alphabetically. But for purposes of prizes, it is points and points ONLY that are used to determine or break ties! So, thanks for playing, everybody! Perhaps we'll talk to you soon, for the summer CFL pools!
