4/7/05 10:30pm
Drumroll
please...
2005 U Pick Winner:
Steve.
Steve and his damn "New Syestem" ties THE
RECORD for total points (90) with a 79% ratio. He
left the gate running and never looked back. 266
was 80% of the total take (330). Runner
up: Bernie .
-New comer to the festivities 66
beans for his efforts.. Congrats gents.
2005 PUNK of the Year award:
Marcha.
Worst picks ever... Ever. SHE gets HER beans back
for that... and a year's worth of harassment!
64
Lotto Winner: TStew.
TStew stole Wisconsin, and then North Carolina to
take the this years prize..100
beans for his efforts. Runner
up: EShawn.
Eshawn rode Arizona hard and wet until steeling
Illinois from Ryan's Dad. Nice move, foo. 50
beans for your efforts. 21 beans goes 3rd and
4th goes to Kory and
Bernie.
2005 16 U Pick Winner:
Joe I.. Joe's a newbie but quickly got
the hang of it, participating in alot of this years
activities 80 beans for his effort.
Runner up: Rana
and DKory.(A.k.a. OldDog?) crazily both
had the exact same thing, so no tie breaker could
fix it. -Hence they split it. 10 beans a piece.
2005 16 Lotto Winner:
Kevin! 100
beans to this auction rookie!.
16 lotto also-rans:2nd
place (and 30 beans) goes to
Coach while 15 beans goes to Kory
and Marcha (her 2nd year
in a row)
NIT Tourney Champ:
Ok Folks, unless I hear otherwise this is the last
year for the NIT challenge. Isn't it one of the signs
of The End Of Days,when
Durham
Wins a sporting contest? 7 WHOLE beans goes his way,
the entire pot!
2005 Auction big winner:
ShawnR. -Luckily
for him, right? -Just goes to prove that it takes
money to win this contest. See the full results here
Lastly the SUPERGRID.
Coach is the
big winner with his ownership of the 5-9-0 box. He
got 2total games land in this spot with the final
game netting him 79 beans. See the
"Bean-out" grid below for other big
winners.
2005
Deep Pockets Award:
Shawn"I'll get 8 of the auction teams"R.
-Note to other commisioners, try to have your auction
on St. Patrick's day Every year. Invite this fella...;-)
FINAL
NOTES: Over 1300 beans were paid-out this
year!
Steve
is the grand champion 264. Eshawn recouped
145 while Coach snuck into the top three with
140.
I
have a nice and concise Excel spreadsheet for anyone
who would like a copy. It details all "bean-outs"
and winnings. NEW THIS YEAR!
I also calculated Profit and Profit margin this year...
Of
the top 7winners,
Steve
had a 491% return on investment
Shawn had a 9% return
Coach had a 128%
While SHAWNR HAD A NEGATIVE
35%! ;-) si
Kevin had a 209%
TStew a 294% and
Bernie a 411%
Well folks, it was another great year for tourney
action.. Next year will bring the return of the Hoosiers,
another Boilermaker absence.. and maybe the return
of Federman. Until then, Keep the bugs off your bumper
and bears off your tail! -Kory (and YES I simply copy
and pasted this from 2004 season, sue me, it's late
and I now have a kid!)
Monday
Late night. It's over!
4/4/05 10:30pm
The
final payouts will be calculated within the next 2
days and beans will be distributed. Off the top of
my head a few big winners. STEVE and "His System"
(I'm privy to it, -I wouldn't call it a system) anyway.
Joe I from CPM takes the u-pick. Coach scores big
in the supergrid, Shawnr wins the auction and TStew
takes the lotto. As I said, the final info will be
posted in the nest few days. Thanks you all for another
great year. For now, Kdog out.
Monday
Update. This is it!
4/4/05 6:30pm
NC
is favored by 2. Good luck Pat and Steve! PS. Durham
wins the last (?) NIT challenge. Congrats!
Sat.
Update
4/2/05 4:30pm
Ok,
it's not over yet but for a lot folks it is. In a
bulleted format heres what you need to know.
SPREAD:
ILLINOIS over LOUISVILLE by 3, N.C. over MICH. STATE
by 5
Inpact on Lotto?: ESHAWN
vs BERNIE and
TSTEW vs KDOG,
losers settle for 21 beans.
Auction: ESHAWN, KORY,
and 2 teams for SHAWNR
are all that is left. Losers settle for 23.
16 Lotto: it's COACH, KEVIN,
MARCHA and KORY.
Losers settle for 15
Favorites?: STEVE'S NEW SYSTEM
is the heavy Favorite in the main u-pick-em. In the
16 U-pick, 5 folks are still in it. -Including COACH
(There, bobby, are you happy? you're mentioned
not once but twice!)
SUPERGRID: (Dramatic pause) EVERYONE
is still in it!! This round is for 20!
So in summary kids, Get your tv's warmed up and your
beverages cooled. Almost Everyone is still in the
hunt. Watch closly towards the end. Who knows, that
last shot could be YOUR Money shot! ;-)
Final
Four Set, All things updated!
3/27/05 8:30pm
First
and foremost. The spreads for todays games were
North Carolina by 10 and Kentucky by 1.5
Sorry Marcha,
NC didn't cover, STEW
takes them into the BEAN Rounds!
USE AT YOUR ON RISK!
Besides updating everything I also ran another report:
Tournament Scenarios..
check it out at your own Risk! Lastly, Go
big 10!
Site
updated
3/26/05 9:30am
And
then there were 8. Everything is updated except for
the spread for today's games. Look for that closer
to tip time. It's at this time that we can start to
see if you really have a chance or not. I'm posting
a new report that let's you know your best and worst
place scenarios. For most it will confirm their worst
suspicions. For others it will return hope. In the
64 u-pick, Look out for PATW
who is sneaking up fast on the front runners! It the
16 U-Pick if appears that RANA'S
"unbeatable system" -An obvious crack on
the 64-Upick leader STEVE
- encountered some problems, but still is in the running
along with her 2 other brackets and the perinal apperance
of STEW.
That's all for now, Good Luck!

Last
NIT Challenge scored thru 3rd round
3/24/05 10:10pm
That's
right folks. This year will be the last for the NIT
challenge. Simply put.. It's not really worth it.
Anyway, It's been fun! What the "heck" it's
only a buck- Was the motto of this. If there IS interest,
of course we can bring it back.JONES leads it with
40 with KORY a close second. DURHAM, who's been absent
from this forum for way to long, might have tipped
his hat as to why. His last place also carries the
dubious distinction of not haveing any teams left.
17 will be his final score. Enjoy the night games!

have to admit, tonights turn out was PITAFULL!! Oh
Well, those that were not pesent will reek what they
sew... (yes I spelled "sew" sew.. sue me!!!
-It's my site damnit, Gumby!!!!) Anyway. A special
shout out has to go to Kevin and Jones for being the
troopers and a super-special HELL-YAS to Shwan and
Marcia for taking a day off to be present in the flesh.
I'm really disapointed in the turnout... hopefully
this is a one year aberration. Regardless.. the pot
actually INCREASED from last year!Look for an updated
site in the next day or so.. with the spreads for
this Thursdays games and well as the summaries for
