Prize payments mailed

I've received payment for all but 4 entries -- not bad! Winners' checks were issued today through Fifth Third Bank. You should get them prior to 4/27/12.

I still need mailing addresses from 1 person (Fitzgibbon) -- i've emailed you.

Thanks for playing!

Winners' checks

Winners -- I have made a decision for you. I decided you would rather have a slightly larger check by waiting a couple more days. I am waiting for two payment checks (total of $36) in the mail before issuing the winnings. Winners should get their checks by the 17th.

Yes I know it is not fair that you got your checks in on time while you have to wait on others who did not. Most of you did awesome at getting your checks in on time this year. I am hoping to come up with a new system next year that results in immediate payouts upon the conclusion of the final game.

Congrats!

Nick Daggy won the biggest prize -- and was in the lead most of the tournament. Nice work! Congratulations to everyone who won money -- you can expect a check by April 13. They will come direct-issue from Fifth Third Bank. If you don't hear from me or get a check by then, please email me at marksickmiller(at)gmail.com.

Unfortunately, the prizes will have to be adjusted downward just a bit. The following people did not pay and I have not heard from them:

Adam Rubenstein - $6
Ben Mangan - $3
ERIC RUBENSTEIN - $3

Please email me if you don't think your name should be on that list. If your name is on the list and you want to make things right for the winners, please email me immediately saying you are putting a check in the mail immediately. We will likely be requiring pre-payment for some users next year, or worse.

Sincerely --

The Money Goon

Final Four Intact

as of 3:15 p.m. on Friday, March 23, only six entries have their final four intact. They are:

akj Ann Jordan
Phi Slamma Jamma Chris Daggy
Summer's Picks Michael Fitzgibbon
ErinLange2 Erin Lange
Buckeye Bonanza Scott Smith
mwjackson Angie Jackson

Congrats -- it's been rough for the top seeds. You clearly did something special, or have time traveling abilities. Either way, either cheer for them or against them, as they have a pretty good shot at winning!

Payment deadline

The payment deadline is March 23 (today, as I am posting this) -- just has to be postmarked today. I have a ton of payments already, but if you haven't sent yours in, I suggest doing so, or your entries will be eliminated and the pot size will shrink for everyone, and we might think thrice about including you in next year's tourney.

Checks payable to:

Mark Sickmiller
524 Missouri Ave
Cincinnati, OH 45266

Sincerely,
Money Goon
