Here are the people who won: 161stAndChilla, bernadette27, BouchardBoiledEggs, ,Cdavid99, ducklynt, Fastbackss, Federex, gunner, hawk99, HotChocolate, IronMike, jugrossman, ktothem1, lauriejo, led14pa2, mcbride10s, meganfernandez, Merdon, New England Nitemare, Omegadoom, ptmcmahon, TennisLover1607, wbeauchesne, and wolfy333.



They all made it making picks on Day 7, and then managed to all lose together.
I was trying to think of which emoticon was most appropriate. It might be :grouphug:

by Fastbackss Fantastic choice - we are a unit of solidarity amidst ... whatever you want to put

by led14pa2 Congrats everybody! In 17 years of playing this contest, I don't think I've ever seen this many winners.

Thanks for organizing it, Dave G!

by ponchi101 After spending some 25 minutes handing out trophies, I wondered:
Should we make this contest more difficult? ;)
Nah, impressive. This was one of the oddest SP's ever, with no updated topic, and so many winners because everybody stepped on an Australian scorpion/rattle snake/white shark's tail/spider/ant hill/poisonous bush or some variation of that at the same time.
Congrats to all! :clap: :clap: :clap:
Your :trophy: :trophy: have been awarded. Because there are so many of you, I may very likely made mistakes and did not hand out some. Let me know in this topic.

Thanks for running the show, Dave. This time, a short week :thumbsup:

by Merdon Amazing! Thanks to everyone who volunteers to run these. They’re super fun to play, and I know it’s a lot of work to manage.

I feel like we probably need an asterisk next to our trophies…

by New England Nitemare It's always cool to win one of these pools!! Congrats to my fellow winners!! That was a quick one!!

Thanks to dave g for running and organizing the pool. Great job as usual and your efforts are much appreciated!!

I think this week once again showed how hard it is. Was more a coincidence we all crashed at same time :) I don't think we could make it much harder!

by ktothem1 I feel like I won due to a walkover. Wow. Congratulations to the other winners as well. Survive and advance...

by Federex 6 correct picks and a medal.
Certainly It feels very weird.

yeah, and the opponent died. Nothing to celebrate, really.

Jon Wertheim won't have enough swag for all of us. Maybe Dave can pick a name out of a hat or set us up with a tiebreak. Thanks for running it, Dave! Now you have a vacation.

by Omegadoom Last night I was like, I'm out of the SP, then this morning I was like, I won the SP???? WOW, lol. :shock:

Congrats to ALL of the other medalists!

Many thanks to DaveG, and the rest of the TAT staff that assisted him, in running this SP. Greatly appreciated!

by 161stAndChilla Thanks to Dave G for running the show yet again!

All 24 of our names to be engraved on the big trophy, like the Stanley Cup, right?!

:lol:

by ptmcmahon Haha, even when it ends on day 6 and 24 of us win Omega wins too :D

by Irena2 Congrats to all 24 winners! Wild! Thank you dave g for running the contest.
