We have the facts, and we're voting...

....for something.  I'll get to that in a minute.

First, I should acknowledge the results of weeks one and two.  In the former, my dear sister-in-law Diana (that's Dangerous D to all of you and I cannot say more) edged Mike Mac for the win, and in the latter, D was right back in it, all up in the grille of her own hub (that would be my brother; somebody please tell me what they're using in their water softener), only to lose to Jim on the points tiebreaker.

All in all, hell of a start for Team Janesville.

About the vote: I got a few, and it was enough to recognize that my idea of doing zero weekly prizes and letting everyone go balls-out for one of the top five season-long spots was not popular.  And by "not popular" I mean "totally reviled."  The option that was most-voted-for wasn't actually on the list, and it involved a simple reduction in the weekly payout by half.  So there you go. We will go with $25 every week.

The total pot is 1050.
17 weeks @ 25 = 425, meaning after week 17, we'll have 625.  That's a pretty nice number.

1st place: 300
2nd place: 200
3rd place: 100

I further announce the return of the Roo Award, $25 to the LOWEST overall score by the player who - and this is important - gets picks in every week.

The financials worksheet has been updated accordingly.

Roo approves of this message.
