Final PPD Standings for the 2009-10 Season

[MNSnowman]

Congratulations to rrjack who led the Serious Selectors in this season's Pick per Day competition, hitting 58.8% correct in 136 picks. He failed to make a pick in only five of the 141 available days where games were availalble. Plus he's been pretty consistent -- he was in the lead last year with a slightly higher 0.592 winning ratio.

There were four of us who made picks on every available date. Jike, GopherInQatar and I have done so for three straight years ... Art Vandelay joined us this year. Jike took the lead in this group.

And a tip of the hat to GopherRock who had a tough year. But he pulled through and took Butler +6.5 in the last game.

We had 53 different GopherHolers participate this year and 32 pretty much stuck it through while 21 retired at one point or another.

Here are the results for this year:

• Last day's Picks: 5 wins; 13 losses; and 0 pushes for a 0.278 winning percentage.
• YTD Picks: 1708 wins, 1687 losses and 75 pushes for a 0.503 record
• Post Season Picks: 138 wins, 170 losses and 5 pushes for a 0.448 record
• Consensus Pick is Duke (-6.5) who wins but fails to cover.
• YTD Consensus Picks: 80 wins, 82 losses and 4 pushes for a 0.494 record
• Consensus Picks during Post Season: 7 wins, 14 losses and 0 pushes for a 0.333 record

[Juicer]

Rick - thank you for your hard work in putting this together. Being my first year, definitely was fun to log on every day and check results. Thanks again.

 

[Dr.Don]

Couple of things:

1. Super thanks to rick for all of his work in this. This is also the first year I participated, and truly enjoyed it.

2. rrjack is a cheating varmint who does not deserve all of the accolades he is receiving.

 

[TheSportsAce]

Thanks a ton, Rick/Snowman, for your truly excellent work on this. It's a blast to participate, and I hope for a better top-10 next year.
