Current Update (as of 9:00 AM Sunday
3/27)
on Elite 8 page.
The sheets
are all in. I'm working on the
analysis, which will probably take me
until Saturday. But I can share a
little bit of high level stuff right
now.
First, we have 40 sheets. That is $200
in prize money.
Prize Money Allocation
Champion - $100
Runner Up - $40
3rd Place - $30
4nd Place - $20
5th Place - $5
Last Place - $5 Money Back Guarantee
The standings now include two
additional reference sheets. All
Favorites and Consensus Picks.
All Favorites is something I like to do
each year to dispel the notion that you
can pick just favorites and win.
I've done this for years, and while all
favorites will usually finish in the top
half, even top quarter, they never make
the money.
Consensus picks are if you took all of
our brains, stuffed them into a jar
(we'll pretend it's a large jar), called
in Gene Wilder and Teri Garr, added a
jolt of lightening and created one
Frankenstein sheet of our collective
intelligence. Hint... it doesn't
win either.
Projections
Nine different people are in the running
for some cash at the end of this pool.
Here is a breakdown of everyone's
chances.
P.S. Projections are unofficial.
Prize money will be paid based on final
standings.
Just in the off chance I made a mistake
here!

Payment
Methods
PayPal -
davidlamb.015@gmail.com
Venmo - @David-Lamb-015
Both accounts have the Mad Slammer as
the profile picture.
Last
year EVERYONE paid with
Venmo or PayPal. I'm
begging for the same this
year. CASH is OK if
you see me and don't mind me
asking "did you pay me?" in
a couple weeks.
Bonus for you.
I'm pretty clumsy with these
apps and my randomly send
you money later in the year.
If PayPal or Venmo
absolutely won't work...
CASH: if you can find me
CHECK: mail check to
