okay... so, firstly I want to bore you with some stats.

33 members entered the fun.

According to our picks, this would have been the results (this is done by weighting the given position)
1. Joar,
2. Nicolas
3. Mitch
4. Aliy
5. Peter
6. Jessie H.
7. Wade Marrs
8. Matt H
9. Jessie Royer
10. Aaron Burmeister

10 people had Joar in first and 12 in second. Even more people had Nicolas as a winner, 13, but only picked him as runner up. Aliy were picked as a winner of 6.

32 members picked Joar for TTP, 31 had Mitch and Nicolas. Peter were picked by 26, Aliy by 28.

11 had Ed as ROTY, 3 Richie and 14 Martin. The result list did change due to the switch of ROTY but not the winner.

Five members had a finisht time that were less than two hours off the winning time. Closest were fladogfan who missed the time with 16 minutes and 4 seconds. That's really impressive. The The others were MGFB (34 minutes), Crystal, wirewraps and Moose

LOL mira that time guess was totally guess. Thought of a number and put it down. Still cool to be closest.

I even had one musher in the place he finished in :D That is a first for me.
Aliy will probably be my choice to win every time she runs...until... she is as old as my 3 old men, Jeff, Martin and Lance. They will be on my TTP for as long as they run. Even if it wins me the Red Lantern again.

This is fun. Thanks to mira for the work involved in this contest. Thanks to all who entered.

Congratulations emwcee!!!

Oh my goodness! I'm in shock! :o :o :o :D :D :D
I didn't think I would come anywhere near #1. Wow! This certainly has been my lucky year. #1 in the Iditabuds' contest and #14 in Fantasy Mushing! Of course it helps that my "friend" Pete won the race. WooHoo!!!

Wow I got in the top 10, and top 1/3 of the pack. Just lucky guesses! Congrats to Emwcee for a number one finish. Thanks Myra for all the number crunching.
Proud PaPa of the triplet litter; Aidan (B), Bailey (G), and Cameron (B). Cameron is on top in picture; Bailey, of course, is the bowhead!!
