Steve is the overall winner! Liam put up a good fight, outscoring Steve by 174 over weeks 13 and 14, but had too much ground to make up. Steve takes home $75 for the victory, while Liam picks up both $25 for second place and $20 for winning Q4.
Our quarter winners were Kerri, Steve, Jeff, and Liam. I paid Kerri in cash, and the other three now have free entry into the playoff pool, as does Jerry. I will set up the playoff pool later this week.
Somehow, despite having the same number of people in the pool, the prize money is less this year than last. We have nine people in the pool times $20 each, which makes $180. Subtract the $20 prizes for each quarter, and that leaves $100 for the overall prize. First place gets 75%, or $75, and second place gets 25%, or $25. Last year's final results blog entry lists Faisal's victory giving him $105 and Mike getting $35 for second place. If anyone can shed light on what I've done wrong here (whether this year or last), please let me know. All I can think of is that when determining the final prize pool, I took the original $180 and subtracted $10 per quarter rather than $20. That gives a prize pool of $140, which would result in the prizes I gave out last year.
