    Here is what I have for the "unofficial" standings heading into the last week. Please let me know if you see any issues (I did them with a house full of screaming kids, so I'll be shocked if they are completely right). Reminder that this contest pays out the top 3 and last place. Good luck and happy holidays to all...

    And the battle for last place comes down to Florida/Iowa, how fitting.

    What's rules on a tie for last?

    Pretty sure that the $ would be added to the 2nd place prize...

    In other news, looks like kcburgh will finish first and Ron and I will tie for second.

    I went thru and "rescored" myself and kcburgh and came up with the same thing. I'll do it for Ron too when I get some time. If anyone beyond third, or those battling for last want to do the same and find any issues, please let us know.

    Double checking mine and CT's now. Thanks for the contest and thanks to Tommy for keeping everyone up to date on standings and such.

    I went back and checked mine and cpech’s picks and found a couple things but nothing that would change the outcome. Cpech let me know if you see anything different: In week 5 you put down that you had 5 points, you actually only had 4. But then you had 2 wins in week 5 bringing your total to 6, which you had right on your week 6 picks so that was correct going forward. Then in week 8 you put down 10.5 points going into the week (which was correct), then got 2 wins but only put down 12 points at the start of week 9 and that carried through so I show you at 35.5 total points instead of 35. Mine looks correct at 34.

    After week 3 I knew that the only chance I had was to get the last place price so I adjusted my strategy accordingly. Yeah. I really wish that were the case. I honestly set out each week to pick winners…variance maybe? No, unfortunately I am just that bad. Nice to get something for it though, thanks to Ed Tortuga/Tommy for putting this on and keeping track of everything.
