What a day! Well! Homan over Jones for the final! It was a nail biter! As for us, these are now our hand-verified official results! So see below for prizes, and below the standings for the FULL story on why 3rd and last place did NOT get a prize this time! Thanks for playing, everybody! Most wins: So who among us picked the most game winners correctly? Just want to know for fun. We're done all 34 games of the pool now... And our winner here was Brad (Supper's Ready)! Who finished with 25 of the 34 pool games correct! Next best is 23 out of 34! And that was Pete (Stone Quarry), Pete again (as himself), and Dan! And then Luke, Mel, and Lance, all with 22 of 34. Good picking, all!

* Pete declined to accept his 3rd and last place prizes, and only take his first place prize! Yes he put in 3 entries, and all three finished in the money! So he gladly accepted his first place prize, but said to pass the others down the line. Which I've done above.
OK! It's all done! Let's get at those prizes then! With a whopping 50 entries, our first prize was $110.25! That's 45% of the top prize pool! And our winner? Pete Carriere! As Stone Quarry! Next, in 2nd place we have Luke Bernas!
A first time player! He takes home $61.25! That's 25% of our top prize pool. Our 3rd place finisher was Pete again! But he declined to take this prize too, and said pass it down the line. So! In 4th, we had Brad! As Supper's Ready!
So he takes the 3rd place prize of $36.75, 15%. In 5th then, we had Dan! He gets the 4th place prize of $24.50, or 10%! And finally, in 6th place, we had Ken, who asks Where's the Corn Brooms! He takes the 5th place prize of $12.25!
That's 5% of the top prize pool of $245. But there's more! Last but not least, with 21 or more entries, we have a last place prize! Of your money back, $5.00! Which went to... Pete again!!! And he declined this prize too. First place was
enough for him! So this prize moves up to our second last place finisher, Wayne! Who only missed last by 3 points! So that makes our total prize pool of a whopping $250.00 (50 entries times $5 each)! Note, the percentages above are
applied after the last place prize is awarded. 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! Hope you had fun! And if you're interested, the Brier pool starts this Friday! March 1st!! No time to take a break! Many of you are already in that one. OK thanks all!
