This is Week 18

It's back-to-back championships! With a strong finish Alan Hevner finishes on top of the Weekend Competition for the second year in a row.and his third win of the last decade. (Suggestion: C'mon man, give someone else a chance! <grin>). The victory solidifies his place in the FBP Hall of Fame and Walk of Champions. Janet Tolopka gets the #2 spot, which would put her "in the pizza" if we were still meeting to share a post-season pie. Alan and Janet finished with the #2 and #3 highest picking percentages in FBP history.

In a come-from-behind finish, our Monday Night champion is Anand Rajan. With a 94 point final week, he squeezed by Farzin Daruwala to finish with the third highest Monday scoring average in FBP history. Welcome back to the FBP Hall of Fame. Thanks to his 2002 Weekend Competition win, Anand has now been duly enshrined in the FBP Walk of Champions. Congratulations!

The Buster Dunsmore Memorial Award for 2024, given to the player who finishes highest in the combined competitions without finishing "in the pizza", goes to Farzin Daruwala. #4 on the Weekend and #2 on Monday Night was a top-notch though ultimately futile showing. He's forever enshrined in the FBP Hall of Fame.

Hope you enjoyed the season! If the creeks don't rise we'll see you again next fall!

Hope you enjoyed the season!

Scoring Reminder: Beginning with the 2011 season, we changed the way that default scores are computed for the week. Specifically:

• You can make picks for any game until that game begins.

• If you make NO picks for the Weekend competition in a given week, you receve the default Weekend score for the Weekend competition for that week.

• If you make ONE OR MORE picks for the Weekend competition in a given week, you are scored normally for the picks you made. Any picks that were omitted score zero points.

• If you DO NOT make a Monday Night pick in a given week, you receive the default Monday Night score for the Monday Night competition for that week.

• If you DO make a Monday Night pick in a given week, you are scored normally for your pick.

• The Weekend and Monday Night competitions are now considered SEPARATELY for purposes of default scoring. That is, you can receive a default score for one competition while being scored normally for the other competition. For example: If you fail to make Weekend picks but do make a Monday Night pick, then you receive the default score for that week in the Weekend Competition but are scored normally for the Monday Night competition.

For examples of how this works, see Get Your Picks In On Time (And Default Scoring) on the Help page.

See the Help section for rules and instructions.
