    Thanks again to everyone who participated, this was our largest contest yet, and also easily our smoothest and least controversial (a couple of my scoring errors not withstanding!).

    As predicted, despite how hot the start of the year was, everyone who finished above 60% cashed the contest. Anyone who tells you they regularly pick games at anything over 60% is probably full of crap. In the 6 years of this contest I don't believe we've ever had anyone finish above 60% more than once.

    Also interesting to note, when you throw out all the pushes and only use games where pix were actually submitted, the record for contest participants was 3015-2787 for 51.96%. 52.3% is required to post a profit against -110 spreads. It is good to be the bookie!

    All funds have been shipped to the winners. Congrats on a contest well played!


    Week 18 only

    I may be wrong, but is this the first time the contest has had a tie for first? Or for that matter, a tie in any cashing position? That latter seems pretty likely given that the contest has been running for 4 or 5 years, but the I can't recall the former ever happening.
