2019 Iditarod Top Ten Picks (TTP), WINNER announced

YukonQuest is just finished so it's time to think about the next big one. It's time to figure out who you think are going to win Iditarod this year!

We've copied the rules from last year (and the year before that, and the year before..you get it), we want 10 mushers, the ROTY and the tie-breaker winning time (including seconds).

You can post and edit the post, as many times you want until the topic is locked.
We will close the thread to all further picks after the restart.

If you change your mind before the restart, please change your original post!
If anyone are wondering how it went last year you can look here

TTP CONTEST RULES

1st - 10th place: 5 pts for each musher among the Top Ten in any position

1st - 10th place: Bonus pts for picking the correct finisher in the correct position. The higher the finisher, the more points you get. (In other words, it's worth more to pick the first place finisher than tenth place.) *See chart below

Choose the Rookie of the Year: 10 pts

Bonus Point Chart
1st Place: 10 pts
2nd Place: 9 pts
3rd Place: 8 pts
4th Place: 7 pts
5th Place: 6 pts
6th Place: 5 pts
7th Place: 4 pts
8th Place: 3 pts
9th Place: 2 pts
10th Place: 1 pt

TIE-BREAKER RULE

As a tie-breaker we will use the guess on the race winner's exact finishing time. This would entail guessing the correct Days - Hours - Minutes and Seconds the winner will finish.

If there is a tie or ties, whoever comes closest to matching the time of the Iditarod champion (whether under or over - just who is closest), is the winner of each tie-breaker.

We will also announce who comes closest to the winning time.
