Congrats to Market Madness Contest winner nwspring with a score of G$883. The winner of the Basket-Free Contest is Chuck Rules???, with a score of G$331. The winning entry was long Kentucky, Wichita State, Arizona, Michigan State, and Duke, plus the #1 and #7 seed baskets, plus the Big 10, SEC, and Pac 12 conference basket. He had only one net negative score on his long side (SEC basket) and only one on the short side (Gonzaga).
The best possible score this year would have been G$1124. Interestingly, Kentucky appears only in the form of the #1 seed basket (long). The other three final four teams are included as longs, as well as their seed baskets (#1 & #7) and conferences (Big 10, ACC). Longs also included NC State[8], the #8 seed basket, and the Pac 12 basket. The best short this year was the Big 12 seed basket, while the top scoring long was the Big 10 (with two teams in the final four). Here is the complete list of units, sorted by net return.
Prize winners will be notified by email within the next week. Thanks to all for continuing to support this oldest of all RotoGuru Contests.
