Our biggest congratulations go to the winner of the 2012 e-Systems College Football Pool:
maestro
maestro finished the season with 2,370 points in the “drop two worst weeks” format. The Tradition finished in second place with 2,349 points, and jagrag was third with 2,343 points. Congratulations to all three for their outstanding performances! All three will receive special prizes for their accomplishment.
If there was a word to describe maestro‘s performance throughout the season, it was “consistent”. She finished third in the first half of the game, and second in the second half. She only finished outside of the top ten in a week twice, and one of those was an eleventh-place finish. At one point, she had five straight top-5 weeks, including three straight weeks at #2. She also takes first place in the total points category, with 2,551 points. The Tradition was again second, with 2,526 points, and Allison was third with 2,513 points. Well done!
In number of games picked correctly, maestro and The Tradition tied for first with 223 games correct. CUtigers finished third, with 219. Good job!
The first half of the game was won by Allison, and the second half by bamaken. Great work!
There were several multiple-week winners this year. The Tradition led the way in this department with victories in weeks 4, 8, and 14. Two-time weekly winners include MarylandTwerp (weeks 2 and 3), bamaken (weeks 6 and 11), and Big Blue Nation (weeks 10 and 13). Other weekly winners were CUtigers (1), badgerTime (5), Mark (7), JustWinAWeek (9), and BritanniaTex (12). Congratulations to all of the weekly winners!
Everyone will receive a prize for participating this year! If you aren’t sure that we have your current mailing address for shipping, please respond to my e-mail that was sent today and we will update our records.
