With San Jose’s 5-0 win over Nashville last night, the results are in for the second round of LBC’s annual predictions contest. The winner: community member CatatonicCatalyst who went a perfect 4-0 and racked up an impressive two bonus points to finish with a total of 14 points.
Three other players ended up with a 4-0 record, meisenbergpanthers, Shane O’Donnell and LightTheLamp27. Well done! meisenbergpanthers and Shane each picked up a bonus point to finished tied for second. Shane is the overall leader with 32 points after two rounds.
Donny and I led the staff with solid 3-1 records. Thanks for nothing, Islanders!
Unfortunately, our first-round winner, Lacy’s Laces Inc., as well as bunch of other people, did not enter round two, so that has really opened things for the players who entered both rounds. Taking the overall crown is a marathon, not a sprint, people. You’ve got to get your picks in! As we are crowning round-by-round winners, you can jump back in, or, if you haven’t played at all, enter now and try to take the top spot in round three.
