During the correcting of last week's entries it became readily evident that there were going to be lots of 12s. Not only did 54 entries out of 930 predict all 12 games correctly, but there was also a tie for the top weekly winner.
The rules call for a random drawing, but after talking it over, the judges decided that the fairest thing to do was to split both the $100 and the two bonus points.Ron Huber of West Jordan and David Ujhely of Salt Lake City will split the $100 and the two bonus points as they both predicted 12 games correctly and ended up with tiebreaker scores of five. Their scores and their one bonus point will be entered in the cumulative game.
Joining these two as the 10 runners-up, along with their tiebreaker scores are the following: Debbie Brister, Murray, 8; Tony Skanchy, Sandy, 9; Stan Peterson, South Jordan, 9; Thomas Nehren, Sandy, 11; Wayne Reynolds, Orem, 12; Matt Purdie, Centerville, 12; Craig Anderson, West Jordan, 12; N.E. Fackler, Salt Lake City, 13; Lee H. Van Dam, Sandy, 14 and Daniel Christiansen, Sandy, 14.
The scores of the 10 runners-up are also entered in the cumulative game. All winners will receive the Deseret News Grid Picks T-shirt, and prizes will be sent through the mail.
The scores vs. entries from last week broke down as follows: 12 right, 54; 11 right, 186; 10 right, 314; 9 right, 241; 8 right, 89; 7 right, 34; 6 right, 7; 5 right, 2; 4 right, 1 and 3 right, 2.
Four weeks remain in the contest, and anyone can still win the grand prize, a trip for two to the Holiday Bowl, awarded to the entrant with the most cumulative points. (Please see official rules for details.)
