BCB March Madness Pool Final Results

Another March Madness is in the books.  NC takes home its fifth championship.  And here at BCB we have the final results and winners of the amazing prizes that await them.

In first place is Elias' Tirade entered by D. Battles who finished with 1620 points, good for the 99.8 percentile across ESPN.

In second place is burncruisin 2 entered by T. O'Neill who finished with 1510 points, good for the 99.0 percentile across ESPN.

In third place is tony412 entered by T. Uribe who finished with 1490 points, good for the 98.8 percentile across ESPN.

Obama's pool selections found him finish 24th in our pool with 1230 points and a very respectable 80.5 percentile across ESPN.

Picking strictly based on seeding finished 47th in our pool with 900 points and a middle-of-the-road 57.9 percentile across ESPN.

And the Pickle Cup for the pool goes to pumpkinsfan460 entered by C. Pausch who finished in 112th (and last) place with 490 points and the 2.5 percentile across ESPN.

Congrats to our winners and thanks to everyone who played this year and shared the community event that is March Madness.

Al and Ballhawk - please let our winners know how they may collect their spoils.

UNC's win pushed me up to a tie for 11th...

but I would have gladly traded moving up a few more spots for a Michigan State victory last night. :(

kudos

for putting this thing together!! Even though I suck at bracket picking was fun.

Btw who won the offseason contest free agent frenzy?? Are we gonna have one to guess our reg. season record??

I didn't get the players I wanted in the offseason!! Hopefully I get what I want in the Regular Season---The World Series Trophy!! Go Cubbies!!

And the reward for the Pickle Cup is...

…one genuine Rawlings Minor League baseball. That’s right – I said Minor League. Hey, whatdjya expect for coming in last? ;-)

On the plus side, you’ll get to choose from several different league logos – Florida State League, International League, Gulf Coast League or the traditional Minor League.

pumpkinsfan460, if you’ll be at a game at Wrigley this year, I’ll award you the prize in person. If not, send me your particulars and I’ll be glad to mail the ball out to you. My email address is in my profile.

Congratulations!

Um, nope.

That I remember.

OK, I will offer a copy of the “Chasing October” DVD. If the winner will contact me, I’ll send it out when I get back to Chicago.
