Well, this is it! The final weekend of the season. Thanks to all that participated; hope it was fun for everyone involved. A special huge thank you to Dan Bylsma for all of his efforts and weekly scoring updates. Everything definitely runs smoother because of his involvement and help.

Looks like a two-person race here for the championship between hooon and Juice71285. Should there be a tie still following the completion of the games, hooon does hold the tiebreaker from the Winter Classic contest. If someone else makes a jump into first, I will post the other tiebreaker results on Sunday if necessary. Good luck!

it all comes down to the final game, if San Jose wins Juice71285 takes the overall title and if LA wins hooon ties in the overall point total and wins the title on the tie breaker !

Congratulations to Hooon on a great comeback and win.

Don't know why I picked St. Louis over Dallas, and should have known the Guppies would choke against the Queens. But I can't complain, best season by a wide margin for me. Also pretty exciting to see it come down to the last game of the season, out of 547 games to be picked from.

Only finished 11 back from FRW and in the top 20. I'll call that a small victory.

[hooon]

Ah so close! Looks like I'll need to change my avatar.

Congrats Juice!

Thanks to all of those who put in the work to put this together this year, much appreciated.

Congrats Juice! I'd said I give the winner a poster of any of my photoshops, so take a look in the gallery and send me your details if you like.

I wonder if he knows he won ?

Congrats to Juice for winning this year's version of Weekend Picks! Impressive victory and pretty exciting that it took the final games of the season to determine a winner.

Nice work to hooon as well! Clearly one of the best to play finishing first last year and second now.

Fun season, everyone. See you back next fall.

[Peadydog]

Congratulations to Juice. I'll take 8th! Thanks for putting this together!

[LEBDA22]

Cant' believe i finished in the top 10!!!! Eaves17 was my new name. If it wasn't for only getting 5 right in the final week, may have got in the top 5. Congrats to all, was great year. See you all next season!!

[juice71285]

Guess I was a little early on the outcome of the game last night.

Thanks for all the congrats, but this is only just the beginning. For now begins what will be my lengthy campaign upon the top of the standings, year in and year out (much like the Wings, with the exception of this year of course, though they will be at the top come June).

But to be honest this was a great and fun season. Watching it come down to the last game was awesome. I did happen to stay and watch the game last night just as San Jose tied it, but felt rather foolish for conceding early. Hopefully, the years that follow will be just as close, with me finishing 1st of course .


Lastly, but certainly not the least. Huge props to Dan Bylsma for taking the time to correct the standings. I thought I had been comfortably in the lead or near the lead the last few weeks, but did think the numbers on pooltracker seemed high.

thanks juice, you deserved the victory anyway you look at it, you had the highest aggregate score, and the highest drop 1 score (as the PT site was reporting)
What a strange season it was, I was 18 points behind mid season and clawed back to only about 3 points back just to finish 14 points behind again lol
The pooltracker site does one thing well in keeping count of everyone's weekly aggregate score which is the time consuming part. I don't know what will take place next season but keep in mind that although the site is flawed it does save a lot of time. Maybe there is another site out there that does it all well.
I'm burned out as usual at the end of the season and is the reason I don't participate in the playoff contest. I think I may take the year off next year in helping with the weekly contest.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to the 2 that worked on this week in and week out Really great job!!
Congrats to Juice, and the other top 2 well done. Till next season
