The PREDICTION GAME results are now FINAL, and the full results follow this summary.  This completes the fifth year that we have conducted this contest.

 

Congratulations to JAHV76, the 2014 Champion.  JAHV76 had an historic finish to a great season of predicting, scoring a total of points over the entire 2014 season.  He wins the grand prize of $100 to be presented by our board founder - Chuck Richter.  The 133(26) total points he scored are an All Time Record since game inception.  He also set an all time record for 3 and/or 4 pointers in a season of 26.   His monthly splits in 2014 were: 14/36/23/18/25/17.  The 36 points scored in May are an all time monthly record.

 
The Player of the Month Award for September 2014 goes to  Jellybean with 18 points scored in the month, besting several others who were close behind with 17 points.

 

The second place finisher is AngelsAndRamsFan, with a season total of 126(22) points.  Last year’s champion couldn’t quite repeat and that's a really tough feat, but still had an outstanding year, and wins $50 in Angel Bucks good anywhere at the stadium.

 

The third place finisher is TCB, with a season total of 123(23) points, thus winning $30 in Angel Bucks good anywhere at the Stadium.  TCB was also named player of the month twice in 2014 for his scores in June and August.  Great job TCB!  

 

The Rookie of the Year award goes to Sherlock31 who finished 8^th with 87(14) points. Sorry Sherlock31, no prize, but we can all certainly appreciate the effort.

For everyone else your place in immortality is recorded below.  I appreciate the effort and commitment level from everyone who played the game this year, the good sportsmanship, the funny moments, and especially your attention to the dreaded Rules of the Game.

 

For those who participated for the full year, I think the Game Day Prediction Game illustrates how grueling the season really is, for those playing this game, and for the players on the field as well.  It takes a lot of discipline to win, along with some luck, and a lot of attention to detail.  In the end only a few survive the process to finish strong, and only one truly wins. 

 

Have a great post season everyone.  I will hope to see many of you at future AngelsWin events, and eventually at Spring Training in 2015.  Go Angels!!!
