Rally Anarchists,

I know I don't post here ever, but I thought I'd stop by and announce the 2013 ProPicks results in the hopes that you'd sign up and play next year. Visit the ProPicks site to see what it's about and get on it.

LSPR results:
Regional bonus winner - Brian Gottlieb
2WD winner - 22-way tie for first
SPGT winner - Corey Voigt
Overall winner - Eric Iverson
LSPR winner - Al Dantes

And now for the moment you've all been waiting for... The 2013 ProPicks CHAMPIONS!

Regional Champ - Brian Gottlieb with a solid 2 point lead.
2WD Champ - Mason Moyle/Don Burress after the tiebreaker failed*
SPGT Champ - Michael Fennell/Kent Gardam after the tiebreaker was messy*
Overall Champ - Eric Iverson with a massive 4 point lead

The 2013 ProPicks Grand Champion is... Don Burress! That's me! I'm so honored. I'd like to thank all the little people and, of course, David Higgins for pressuring Mr. Block into making a bit of a mistake at LSPR. I took a risk and it paid off.

I look forward to your comments and suggestions for improvements (particularly with the tiebreaker rules, should we use a particular event's picks (decided beforehand) as a tiebreaker?).

Good luck next season!

* Mason Moyle and I split the points, in head to head, we tied 3 times and each won 2 times, therefore the tie breaker goes to neither of usand according to the rules... we split the championship glory.
** This one might be more controversial. There is a 3-way tie. In the head-to-head-to-head, Michael Fennell won 1 and tied for winning 2 with Kent Gardam who also won 1. There was a 3-way tie at Ojibwe. Corey Voigt won 2. I interpret this as a split championship for Fennell/Gardam.

I think it would be cool to add a automated/computer player that picked straightly by the speedfactors. So in addition to trying to pick better than eveyone else you have to see if you can pick better than statistics.

Your wish is granted! Speed Factor got some picks based on current speed factors (too lazy to figure out speed factors for old events, if it's even possible) and is now available for comparison. Next year, I'll write in an addition to the program that will update this fake user when I finalize the scores. Good idea!
