Final Pool Results: Les Doddington by Two

One scoring error was found in the results below, but it didn't substantially change anything: everybody in the running for money gained one game. 2009/10 payouts were calculated as follows and sent today, 1/16:

17 players @ $40 per: $680

Less mailing/copying/envelopes: $45

Less week 8 payout (Les): $40

Less last place payout (Verna): $40

------------------------------------

$555...of which:

$333 Les (60%--first place)

$111 George (20%--tied for second/third)

$111 Wayne (20%--tied for second/third)

Les Doddington, after two years out of the pool, has returned the conquering hero. Congratulations.

I'll dispense the winnings forthwith--but I want to get these scores up in case anybody notes any discrepancies. The prize money goes to the winner (60%), second place (30%), and third place (10%), after paying $40 back to the "last-place winner", Verna Davidson. In this case, it appears the second- and third-place prize money will be split between Wayne Diede and George Doddington, making this a clean Doddington-related sweep.

If anyone has different results that affect the outcome, please let me know so we can get everything just so. Thanks, everyone!
