March Madness Winners

Jason spent a total of 22 hours working on the pool. He thought there might be some other numbers nerds out there so here are some stats.

2195 total correct picks
372 Unique individuals with at least 1 correct pick
120 individual winners
85 people with 10 or more correct
13 people with 20 or more correct
4 people tied with 23 out of a possible 30 games

Iowa teams played a role in the highest and lowest numbers of correct picks. The first game set us off to a poor start with only 6 (traitorous!) people picking UAB. However, our 5th game had an overwhelming high with 145 people picking Iowa.

Sean Kirkpatrick, who accurately picked 23 games correct wins the special “unluckiest person in the pool” award for not having any of those 23 games score him a prize. $10

Most unlikely name award: April May June
Best basketball name award:Jimmy Hoopes
Most cursedly difficult names for me to type awards:
Rick Demuynckm, Adam Kalwishky, and Stephanie Schnoebelen.

The “FIRST” award (aka, Toad’s biggest fan award) goes to Kolby Starr who almost always had the first pick in each round. Introduce yourself when you come out.

Taking the family and kickin butt awards:
The Thompson’s (not necessarily related) Mark, Scott, Sommer and Todd had a combined 53 correct picks.

Perhaps more astonishing, the Young’s, Timmy and Jeremy had an amazing combined 42 correct picks

If you find your name misspelled, Jason apologizes. His typing is not what it used to be. We all wish you could ALL win something because we appreciate you playing.

The winners: Alphabetically by first name
