Here are the final results of this year's Pool. The number of paid entrants in this year's Pool is 372 for a total pot of $3,720.00, with six participants not having paid and not being eligible for future pools unless they correct the shorfall (which will be added to next year's pot).
Congratulations to our grand prize winner, Robert W. Conte, an Oldham Pool rookie who won it all when UConn whipped Purdue and the Big Man last Monday. Condolences go out to Two Brats (Mom and Sis) who both got their Kennedys a week ago today when we all got together at Mom and Dad's house.
Congratulations also are in order for our other winners, who are listed below. Please remember that the sort order for ties in any positions other than First Place are determined by the highest number of points in each Round starting with the First Round and random luck based on the sort order, with coin flips deciding ties between those who are tied for a particular position and those who are immediately above or below them if all round scores of those who are in the tie match. Anyone needing a further explanation about how the money was determined should contact me.
With this being the thirty fifth year of me running the Pool, I thought it would be fun to interview all of the Oldham Family members who have given their time and efforts to the cause over the years and I have put together a video that I hope everyone who decides to watch it enjoys (if nothing else, I hope the other Oldham Family members get a kick out of it). Family and friends are what have kept this thing going for all these years and they are the reason I look forward to this every year - I trust that most of you feel the same way.
Remember to check back after the Tournament Selection Show on Sunday next year and we will do it all again. Thanks for participating and I look forward to next year.
