Iditarod 2018, furthest to 24h rest, Winner announced!

Whops, we almost forgot! :o

Most of you should be finish with Top Ten Picks and Fantasy.. so now you have some time to do a guesstimate on who will go longest for 24 hour rest this year.

The rules are copied from last year, as always :)

Please post who will go the furthest (and where & when they land) before taking their 24-hour required layover in the 2018 Iditarod. This year, they are going down the southern route.

Post your picks for the following:

1. Musher
2. Checkpoint
3. Date & Time into checkpoint, Alaska Time

IMPORTANT NOTE: All picks are final when the first musher reach Finger Lake (a bit extended since we're a bit late).

This one is just for bragging rights..

Scoring system:
  • 10 points for correct musher
  • 10 points for correct checkpoint
  • 12 - delta (correct hour, guessed hour). Meaning you get 12 points for guessing withing one hour, and then 12-hour diff down to 0.

For instance, if you have a time diff of five hours, you will get 12 - 5 = 7 points for guessing the correct time.

Last year several members picked the correct checkpoint and Moose were very close on the time. No one had the musher though :lol:
