Finals

[Red Knave]

I didn't get a chance to post in the daily thread before it got closed.

I want to say thanks to the sponsors and also Jay Trotter and especially to Track Collector for getting and keeping this thing up and running. I had a blast.

Thanks and props to the other finalists too. We all appreciate what a grind it was and how much luck is involved to get to the end.

I also want to thank the Sponsors and the Administrators for an exciting contest.

This one had quite a different feel. I imagine once you are eliminated there is little further interest, but for those of us who were lucky enough to continue, the excitement just escalated. When there were 8 contestants left, I printed out every one's picks and followed the action race by race. I tried to anticipate what type of bets each one preferred and guess which opponents I thought would be weaker should we meet down the line. In short, I was fairly consumed with this "do or die" game.

Maybe there is too much dead time for those eliminated early but if you are lucky enough to hang in there, it is the most intense fun of all.

P.S. I never wanted to meet Red Knave in the finals and now I know why.

So Red Knave takes down the whole enchilada...a big hearty congrats to him, and Aner and IK for finishing 1st, 2nd and 3rd respectively.

But seriously, CONGRATULATIONS RED KNAVE!!!

Thanks PA, much appreciated.

After you put out my PAIHL partner IK 3 and 0 I didn't really want to meet you either. ;)

Congrats to Red Knave. As his partner in a previous contest, I can say I knew him when....

And kudos to all the true believers that entered the contest.
