Shot/Final Stats.
4/6/06 10:30 pm
-Ok.
What follows is the final stats (at least what I think..
if you have a question, please don't hesitate to contact
me) I have an excel "master payout" sheet
if anyone is interested. This year brought the return
of the Auction King, The return of a crazy final four
and the return of some coaching skills to Bloomington.
Personally, I finally won -after an 11 year journey.
I look forward to defending my title next year.
Speaking of next year a few ideas are allready in
the works. First we'll "go Live" with the
Stud pool, however, I plan on managing that via email
(with maybe a separate Smack board -kinda like a poker
room chat). Next, I plan on revamping the caledar
of events. Intstead of having events on 2 separtate
wed. nights, -look for a combined event on the later
wed, with only an electronic 64 lotto drawing taking
place on the first. More news as the year develops.
As always, a great big thanks to all participants!
it is because of YOU that this site exists! -Humbly,
your '06 champion -Commishna Kdog
2006
U Pick Winner: Kory.
Yep, after all these years yours truly finally hit
pay dirt. -It wasn't pretty, but it counts just the
same. I'd like to thank LSU and UCLA for giving my
the one point advantage over RyanV. 280
was 80% of the total take (350). Runner
up: RyanV .
-2nd year for this young up and commer, with his 2
entries spending most of time occuping the top few
spots. 70 beans for his
efforts..
2006 CHUMP of the Year award:
DerekM.
Worst picks ever... Ever. He'll get his beans back
for that... and a year's worth of harassment! -Hey
Coach, Shawn and Marcha.. please help rub it in!
64
Lotto Winner: Dave.
This was deffinatly Dave's year, meeting himself in
the finals created a "no contest -and a record
take..Stew stole Wisconsin, and then North Carolina
to take the this years prize..100
beans for his efforts. Runner
up: Dave.
See above. 21 beans goes to 3rd and 4th: Rana
and RyanV.
2006 16 U Pick Winner:
Kory.. Yep, not only did the Commish
take the 64 u-pick, his expertise also payed dividends
in the 16 Y-Pick. Heck, the Kory house hold took on
and two (see below) -How do you like those apples!
-56 beans goes my way. Runner
up: Rana 14
beans goes to her.
2006 16 Lotto Winner:
Jones! 100
beans to this fool. Every dog has his day in the sun,
right?.
16 lotto also-rans:2nd
place (and 30 beans) goes to
ShawnR while 15 beans goes to JasonF
and Jamie
NIT Tourney Champ:
With a healthy Tuesday evening turnout, this annual
guessing game has stood the test of time.
Steve
Wins 11 beans with a come from behind bracket busting
Michigan pick. Nice work!
2006 Auction big winner:
Jones!. -the
Return of the King! (some would say) Yep. Dr. Jones
snuck in with one of the cheapest winners to date.
for a measly 10 bean, Jones won 105 with his Florida
pick uo. results here
Lastly the SUPERGRID.
ShawnR is the
big winner with his ownership of the 3 7-8 box. He
got 2total games land in this spot with the final
game netting him 100 beans, and the championship game
added another 25. See the "Bean-out"
grid below for other big winners.
2006
Deep Pockets Award:
ShawnR. -this is the 2nd year in a row
that ShawnR has proven, it takes beans to win beans.
Note to other commisioners, try to have your auction
on Shawns day off Every year. Invite this fella...;-)
While
this is not 100%, I also have calculated an ROI (return
on investment) for the top winners.
Kory
tops the chart with 351%. Jones
got 2nd with his last minute sweep of the auction
and 16 lotto ( 266%) RyanV
was in 3rd with 250% While Dave
rounded out the top 4 with 103%. For those keeping
track ShawnR
actually came out in the black this year, with a 29%
return on his investment.
Sunday
recap.
4/2/06 11:00 am
-Just
wanted to check in and let you know that all the stats
are up to date and that I'm now working on the payout
grid. -With one game left, several contests are now
"unofficially" over. As always, a full update
will come out by wed. Just for the record, the spreads
for yesterdays games were: Florida by 6 and LSU (yea
right) by 2. -It's all moot now, for a first time
ever miracle has happened pitting Dave
vs. HIMSELF. -Good luck with that one!
What's Left? Steve
is looking to beat Jones
in the Auction. ShawnR
and Jones are battling
it out in the 16 lotto, and
EVERYONE is still alive in the SUPERGRID.
LAstly, I want to appoligize to those beta players
of the Stud. I forgot to "make live" the
entry link. Hopefully those interested in staying
in, found a way to contact me.
-Again,
a full update, beanout and recap will follow later
this week. -Goodluck to all! Commish
And
then there was four
3/26/06 8:00 pm
Wow,
can you beleive that there are no number ones in the
entire group? That's only happened once and it was
26 years ago. Do you beleive that an 11 seed is in
it? Crazy times indeed. It is rumored that there are
only 2 folks with a chance of winning it all. You
can do all the math yourself, or check out the handy
reports off to the side. All stats are up to date,
-I'll be checking in and having more updates during
the week in prepartation for the Tourney coming to
my fair city. Remember, EVERYONE is still Live in
the SUPERGRID.
So far we have 5 players who have won 20 beans. (Marion,
Kory, Olan, Erin, and
Joe. ) Remember, EVERY participant
is still alive and well with 3 games left to score.
Lastly newbie RyanV
joins Dave into
the final four of the lotto. Congrats to all! Until
later, Kdog Out

sacrafice of those in attendance, to keep this alive.
You can find the stats here.

night update.
3/20/06 7:00 pm
Ok,
several updates right now with more updates, auditing
results etc. later. What's up now? Well first and
foremost, if you bracket went south after the first
round, fear not! The 16 U-Pick
offers you a fresh start, a fresh 16 to pick again!
It's available right now from the righthand stat window.
2nd, all you "Stud"
beta players out there, the 3rd round entry is available
as well. 7 started, 6 were in the 2nd round which
creates a 26 bean pot todate. Please note this, try
to use the same name for each round.. the software
has to try and link each round. Lastly, the Lottogrid
is now complete as well. As for the Supergrid,
Marion has a 1 hit lead over Joe
with 5. This Thursday and Friday games still count
towards the first payout so it's still anyones game.
Coolbeans?!? More later as baby duty permits! Daddy
