Well, the inevitable has occurred, and the Regular Season has sadly come to its end. With it, also comes the end of the Predictions Game; which brings me to the concluding comments on the above synopsis for the year in tally.
Congratulations
Spence!!You owned it this year!
So much so, infact, that had you not even scored a single point in the last week, you still would have won by 6.
I was able to somehow hold onto a second place finish. I had some decent weeks. Others were not worth remembering.
Derek; you made a comeback, and jumped over Highfly there at the end to take home third place.
Highfly; a little tough going there at the end. You, Derek & I had all been vying for 2cnd and 3rd place most of the way. All while Spence merely cruised on forward.
Donovan; it wasn't all bad. You had a couple of really solid weeks. Last week in particular. You did fairly well this week, too. And you finished with a score of 29 over .5oo total.
Old Ducker; a few weeks ago, I actually did an average of what you might have score had you submitted a predictions in the weeks you missed. Basing on the highest vs lowest scores from week 1 (27 & 30), where there were 40 picks, and going off of your average totals from you early predictions (how you were doing from the start), I estimated your total would likely have been around 179.
Vileborg; the score of 90 you had for the six weeks you submitted your predictions were pretty good. You really gave Spence a run for his money in the first 5 weeks. Though, there just weren't enough data to get a solid guestimation of how well you might have done for the entire season.
Doss; 30 correct from week 1 is 75% for what you did participate. Not bad.
Just how well overall did we do ... there were a total of 300 potential points for the year per weekly participant.
Subtract 60 from Old Ducker's overall for missing weeks 1 & 2 = 240
Subtract 160 from Vileborg for missing weeks 6 & 7, 9 through 14 = 140
Subtract 260 from Dossenator for missing weeks 2 through 14 = 40
Weighing those Potential Scores vs each Participants Final Scores, (Wrong Picks) we get:
Spence: 300 -- 215 (85) = 71.66%
Cane: 300 -- 198 (102) = 66%
Derek: 300 -- 194 (106) = 64.66%
Highfly: 300 -- 191 (109) = 63.66%
Donovan: 300 -- 179 (121) = 59.66%
Old Ducker: 240 -- 140 (100) = 50.4%
Vileborg: 140 -- 90 (50) = 68.4%
Dossenator: 40 -- 30 (10) = 75%
Let's face it; none of us are getting paid to play this game. If we were, assuredly we would have all laid our personal biases & subjectivity aside, and I'm rather certain these numbers would be earnestly higher.
I would take this group, up against any panel of supposed experts & analysts who do make a living, getting paid to give us their opinions.
