Yukon Quest TFP 2018 (winner announce)

Postby mira » Mon Jan 08, 2018 2:33 am

Racing season is here!

The 2017 Yukon Quest is just around the corner starting February 03rd, 2018 in Fairbanks.

The winner will receive fame and glory! :-D

We will use the same scoring as the past years:
1 point for each Top 5 Pick, and points for each correct position: 5pts for 1st, 4pts for 2nd, 3pts for 3rd, 2pts for 4th and 1pt for 5th.
Please include Rookie of the Year (ROTY), no points are given but it will be used as a tie-breaker if needed.

If you change your mind you can change your picks until the thread are locked for writing. The thread will be locked at the start of the race. If you do want to change your picks, please change your original post (not adding new posts).

There are 26 teams signed up, for a list of mushers entered in the race as well as a lot of other race info, please visit the official Yukon Quest website: http://www.yukonquest.com

If anyone want to take a peek on how it was last year http://www.iditabuds.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3230

Actually, I think the trick is to change the topic in the post over.. or perhaps I changed them all.. not sure.

Anyhow, here is my guess. Very tricky, the seven first mushers from last year are back and there's a huge field of rookies to choose from.

1. Allen Moore
2. Matt Hall
3. Hugh Neff
4. Torsten Kohnert
5. Paige Droby

1) Matt Hall
2) Allen Moore
3) Dave Dalton
4) Hugh Neff
5) Vebjorn Aishana Reitan
