For all your efforts to run the pool! As the saying goes sometimes it is better to be lucky than good and my apologies to Hokeeron1 for backing in to the win. I figured I was jinxed after your early prediction Saturday night. ;-) I did not really understand how the bonus points played in and just figured I had lost.

As far as the bonus goes I will defer to your preference as well as the other pool participants. However, it seems to me that given the wide fluctuation between actual scoring and final results after application of bonus points, the bonus structure may be too heavily weighted toward picking a winner or Top 2 over the strength of the top 4 scores as has been pointed out by others. Not sure how to mathematically determine the best bonus amounts but, when you can make up more than 4 or 5 spots on your final ranking as determined by absolute score it does seem to be too heavily rated.

Thanks again!! Always look forward to this pool and it gives an entirely different rooting angle to viewing these tournaments.
