5-hole.com Olympic Hockey Bracket Spectacular – Champion
As Marc said a few days ago, he did indeed win the 5-hole.com Olympic Hockey Bracket Spectacular. Marc finished with a total of 24 out of 34 points. So did Chris. Marc won by tie breaker. He picked Canada to win 4-3 and Chris picked them to win 5-4. In fact, Marc and Chris had identical brackets except for the tie breaker scores. As the winner, Marc recieves this shiny nickel:
In third place is Jordan. Here are the complete standings:
As you can see, Rory and I did splendidly getting 12 and 10 points respectively. In fact, while Rory and I spent at least 10 minutes each on our picks, I’m fairly sure that Marc scribbled his down in about 30 seconds. Kind of reminds me of Bill Simmons’ wife making her picks without knowing anything about football and basing her picks on nothing in particular. Except that Marc knows what he’s talking about.
So there you have it. I still suck at picking teams to win championships, Marc got a shiny, 5 year old nickel, and Rory, well, Rory’s Rory.Congratulations to Marc, Chris, and Jordan and thank you to everyone who participated on such short notice. I’m pretty sure there’s going to be a World Cup of Hockey in 2011, so maybe we can bring this back for that instead of waiting until 2014.
