Blazersedge Jersey Contest Playoffs Update

by Dave on Apr 12, 2009 12:05 AM PDT

Please note: There was a procedural problem with the final question in the Clippers game. Everyone got 10 points for the question regardless of their response.

Tonight's game marked another paring down of the Jersey Contest playoff participants. There are now only eight remaining.

First, the eliminations.

As you may recall, three people were engaged in sudden death from the previous round as all three tied with the bubble score. Two of those people were going to be eliminated after the L*kers game while one would continue.

Both Halfasiansensation and HeffBlazer scored 53 points in the L*kers game.

Darkwebs scored 75 points.

Therefore Halfasiansensation and HeffBlazer were eliminated automatically. They were considered the last of the fallen from the previous round.

The cuttoff for this round ended up being 122 points. Anyone scoring 122 or more proceeded. Here are the eight who fell short and their scores:

Bonesbarry 54
ChiliConKyle 97
DirtyFernandez 91
Darkwebs 118
TheNatural#7 111
zaron5551 116
you'vegottomakeyourfreethrows 120
Blazerbear 121

As you can see it came down to a single point for Blazerbear. I don't know if it hurts or helps knowing that. Also the two bubble guys from the previous round can take solace in the fact that Darkwebs didn't end up making it through to the next round anyway. Thanks to all of these folks for playing. I hope you try again next year.

That leaves us with our final eight. Here they are, with their scores from the last round:

blazersand2000 127
FromAfar 129
jbcooper80 131
Lakitao 127
MavetheGreat 127
OldSchool 122
Sir-1 129
Tweener 131

Oldschool is the guy who nudged out Blazerbear by a point. Congratulations to the Elite Eight!

As always, all scores now reset. All eight remaining players are on equal ground. Four of these players will be eliminated as the final two games of the season play out. The remaining four will play during the actual Blazer playoffs for the Grand Prize!

The eight remaining finalists will find their game form here.

Mave...

I’ll bet you five hawaiian pesos.

But I like to be here. Oh, I like it a lot! Said the Cat in the Hat. To the fish in the pot.

I'm not a gambler

Tweener and Mave are the only names I recognize.

Thanks Tom - I've gotta get past Mave somehow. He has been money all year.

Good luck everybody & Thanks Dave!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

So this is what Luke Skywalker felt like when his dad chopped off his hand and then claimed to be his father.

I didn’t account for 4 games in 5 nights and went with a higher score… I could’ve used some of those spread points. Stoopid.

Well done all, best of luck in your efforts for the highly coveted but totally top secret prize.

Because I'm a total sore loser...

I can’t help but wonder if that “procedural problem” question cost me.

I had E. Gordon as the high scorer for the Clips, and he was. Most people chose him, but some did not.

As there is only 11 points seperating my final cumulative score from the leader, is it possible that someone who finished ahead of me took B.Davis, A.Thornton, or Somebody Else?

I’m contacting my congressman and demanding a federal grand jury investigation into these fraudulent activities!

But I like to be here. Oh, I like it a lot! Said the Cat in the Hat. To the fish in the pot.
