Attached are the contest standings after two weeks of PBL action. The current leader is Brian with 16 correct picks. This is what you will see as we progress through the season. I finished setting up conditional formatting and formulas, so updating the spreadsheet shouldn't be very time-consuming. I believe all results are correct. My review did not surface and errors. Please check your selections to ensure they are accounted for correctly. Note: Remember that ties are broken based on the order in which teams are listed in OOTP. It's early in the season. At present, many teams are tied with others. As we proceed, this issue should be encountered less frequently. Thanks for playing!

2nd Place!
Well done on the formatting sir; it's very easy to read and aesthetically pleasing.
That may sound like peanuts, but my stuff is all data output and an eyesore, so I appreciate any homemade product that is both effective and pretty.

Looks good Tim. It's really early so a lot will change, but at least now I know who to glare at menacingly. Will and David, ahem...

Attached are the contest standings as of July 4, 2050. Parity seems to be the word of the day in the PBL. During June, many teams changed places in the division standings. At the half-way mark... The current leaders are John (18 correct) and Rich (17). Tied for third are Danny, Fin, and Ron (16).

Trade Deadline EditionAt the trade deadline, John must be feeling pretty good. He has 26 correct including five divisions with perfect picks! Second and third places currently are held by Steve (23) and Fin (22). Close behind are Sean (20) and Rich (20). The next update will be tabulated after rosters expand.

Roster Expansion EditionAs one might expect this late in the season, only nine teams changed positions during the month of August. In four of the eight divisions, the division standings remained unchanged. However, the slight shift in the PBL standings significantly impacted our contest leaders. Fin overtook John for first place. Ron and Danny returned to the top five leaderboard, Doug made his first appearance, and Steve, Sean, and Rich dropped off. Currently, Fin (19 correct) is the leader. He is followed by John (18) and Ron (18) in second position. Danny (17) holds down the fourth spot with Doug (16) in fifth. With one month remaining in the regular season, the contest is a close one. How might PBL action impact contest results? We shall soon know who emerges victorious.

Final ResultsDown the stretch, four pairs of teams (highlighted in the "actual" column of the attached report) switched positions. Fin may have had a difficult season with his Mets, but he prevailed in the predictions contest! Congratulations to our first predictions champion! The final results are as follows: - 1st Place (50 Paramount Credits) = Fin (22 correct)
- 2nd Place (25 PCs) = Ron (20)
- 3rd Place - tie (20 PCs each) = Randy, Doug, Danny, John, Rich (19)
Note that I had announced a fourth place award. However, with five GMs tied for third I elected to award 20 PCs to each GM who finished in 3rd place. All other participants earned 10 PCs for entering the contest. Thank you to each of you who participated! I hope you enjoyed the competition.
