 And
the winners ARE:
4/9/09
I'll
right now, here we go. The annual summary of champions
and chumps. I want to personally thank all of you
for participating in this years festivities. I was
super stessed and busy on the personal side but Basketball,
this site, and your participation gave me something
to really look forward to. NEXT YEAR I should be back
on schedule, the Basement should be open again.. and
I'll have time to treat the Invitational with the
proper resect it deserves. That being said, I've scorred
and accounted for everything EXCEPT the invitational.
There will be one final post regarding it. BTW, Next
year I also promise to have a working Smackboard again.
SPIKE should
be thankful it wasn't working this year or else he
might have had to answer to why his kids and wife
continue to dominate "the Pool Dominator".
Lastly, next year we will return to a 50 square grid,
however I plan to have it pre-numbered and will take
requests starting as soon as the tourney starts. I
also will formalize a "pod" system for the
64 lotto.. it seemed to work out well this year.
So
without any further Adu, I present to you the following
summary.
2009
U Pick Winner: DanR(woof)
"Woof" allright, this out of town newbie
by way of BrianH
had
us all saying "woof" by the final four (more
about Brian in a second)
268 beans. Runner
up: MattK.
-Here is another "newbie", this one however
is an old friend. We welcome him into the tourney
this year, hopefully this just wet his wistle and
he'll "donate" next year with the proceeds.
67
beans for his efforts.
2009
CHUMP of the Year award: BrianH.
Worst picks ever, AGAIN! No wonder he signed up a
"ringer" (DanR) -BrianH truly needs the
help! Seriously, here is one for the record books.
"Most CHUMPS wins ever!" Enjoy! 5 beans
goes his way along with a year's worth of harassment!
64
Lotto Winner: Eshawn.
The only number 1 seed not to be upset, Eshawn rhode
his Tar Heels like his favorite pair of high heels
-all the way to the big dance! The big E and his terricloth
drawers gets 100 beans
for his efforts. Runner up:
Kevin.
This was Kevins year for sure, look for his name in
a few other spots as well. 50
beans goes his way. 21
beans goes to 3rd and 4th: Jamie
and Jones.
2009
16 U Pick Winner:
Steve. Steve took this "winner
take all" and nets
70 beans
for his effort. Historians will note: Steve won the
original one back in 2001.
2009
16 Lotto Winner:
Marcha100
beans
go her way. Consider it a wedding gift! :-)
16 lotto also-rans:
2nd place (and 30
beans) goes to Kevin
while 15
beans goes to the soon to be wed couple of ShawnR
and Marcha
(again).
Looking at the history, Marcha has won this spot %
50 of time.
NIT
Tourney Champ: With a healthy Tuesday evening
turnout, this annual guessing game has stood the test
of time.
Jamie
Wins 14 beans in a nail biter, sorry Ryan, but se
totally deserves it. Her 2nd sheet was the only one
with the winner on it however it was the "sheet
of integrity that had the rest of the field beat.
2009
Auction big winner:
Connie. -We may never know is this was
subsidized but regardless, this rookie won fair and
square the only way there is. -Outbid everyone for
a stud team! The 88.00 beans sheplayed netted her
a big 143.50
beanout. see the other results here
Lastly the SUPERGRID.
ShawnR was the
big winner (again) with his ownership of the 8-9,2-3
box. Note: this year we switched to a 25 square grid.
NEXT year we will return to a 50 square grid and I
will start taking request from the start on on a pre-numbered
grid. the final game netting him 65 beans. See the
"Bean-out" grid below for other big
winners.
2009
Deep Pockets Award:
ShawnR*. -Barely. This is the 5th 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...;-)
* that being said, it was very close. Are wedding
bells slowing him down? Next year when it switched
to Tuesday, we will see. Plan for it now! Tuesday
6-8 beedubs, then the auction back at the Tiki...
see you then!
And
the winners are?
4/8/09
I'll
be working tonight and tomorrow if needed, to crunch
all the numbers and post the final BEANOUT summary.
Thanks to all for another fine year. Next year the
Final Four is in INDY and I (hopefully) won't be going
through the process of getting a new job so the SITE
SHOULD BE ROCKIN! Stay tuned for the summary.... kdog
