ANSWER KEY

The last grades are in! I'll have the results up in a few minutes.

Timmay won a Tournament and never played again. Didn't have anything more to prove. Walked away a winner.

We have seven grades in. Waiting on one contestant.

We might have all eight grades or might have only seven grades. I'll check when I get home around 5p.

Oooh! I like it I liked it too!

Something else to consider: If you finished 21st and there are only 20 prizes, you're out of luck. If you finished 21st and donated a prize, you're gonna get a prize. So if you donate one, there's a better chance you'll get one.

Waiting on three contestants.

Excellent question!

I'm not a fan of the "pay-to-play" method.

Someone submitted a perfect score.

Half the grades are in but I haven't recorded them yet. Will do so tonight.

Waiting on eight Contestants.

A win is a win.
