It's over, and we have a tie for first place between Nowakowski and R Wanger, with 328 points. Third place goes to J Go Owls, with 327 points, but third prize goes to J PHINO, with 326, because J Go Owls chose not to pay. J Marshall also had 326 and also chose not to pay. As reported earlier, the prize for leading after the field was chosen was won by R Schlegel.
The last time we had a tie for first place was 2005, a year in which, oddly enough, North Carolina was champion and a Wanger was one of the contestants who were tied for first (although in 2005 it was K Wanger, now known as K Ripley, who is right now probably kicking herself for choosing to go through childbirth at the time the pool was due). Even stranger, in 2005 the person K Wanger was tied with was Butscher, who in eariler posts we erroneously concluded would be a prizewinner this year.
Official final standings may be found both on the right side of this page, and here.
Kudos to Nowakowski, R Wanger, and J PHINO. Your checks will soon be in the mail.
Thus endeth the 2009 PreNCAA Contest. Please return in February 2010 for more fun and profit.
Enjoy the rest of your year.

Speaking of omens as you a couple days ago - how is this for one you posted after day 2, Fri, Mar 2?
"Wanger deserves special mention for choosing BOTH Wake Forest and Clemson into his Final Four, pretty much scragging his entry by the end of the first round." Thanks for another year of fun.
Shows what I know. It's pretty amazing you managed to hang in after that setback. Congrats on finally beating your daughter.
