Ok, we're getting close enough to the draft that I'm closing this to new entries. Good luck to every that entered a mock draft.
I know, I thought the same thing... but rarely do things play out according to logic. I dunno... just felt I had to do something different.
OK! I have some unofficial results here. First I want to thank everyone that participated. Regardless of how you scored here, I hope you enjoyed this contest because I know I appreciate everyone participating. This scores are unofficial right now, because I plan on going back and double checking the math, but I do think they're going to prove to be accurate. There were 175 points possible, but to score that high, you'd have to predict everything perfectly. Now here are the scores ordered from lowest to highest.

Chispa's 9, 11 and 12 were sure things... She had Lynch at 12 so she got one right... Here is the post she wrote after posting her draft. http://forums.bolttalk.net/showpost.php?p=214718&postcount=21
dang...good job everyone. :icon_toast: What happens to the score if instead of picking the correct number slotting, we went with correctly pairing the team with the player? Can the winner of that get the alternate prize?
That's an interesting idea. I know I picked J Moss to Denver @ 21 and R Nelson to the Jags @ 17. I got the teams right, but they traded picks so I didn't get the full points.
Official Results Ok, here are the official results. I have gone back through and checked all of the math and there were two mistakes. I missed Chispa's sure things post, and I didn't account for turbo_turtle's pick of Greg Olson at 27 whiched earned him 1 point. Here are the official results.

Official Results Dayum!! This is a shock! :nana_dance: :icon_party: I'd like to thank my mom, who raised me to stay true to my convictions, my wife, who condones my Bolts (& football) obsession, my daughter, who relinquishes both the computer & phone line to me...you get my drift. :icon_biggrin: So Thumper, since I'm in Virginia & can't make it to a preseason game, what's my alternate prize?
Official Results Thanks, nickel! It was a close one. I had the Fins taking Quinn, so it didn't work out so well for me, either. Not sure just what Cam's thinking is there, but if he made the choice, I'm glad he isn't our HC. Where's Thumper today? Nursing a sore head? :icon_toast:
Official Results Something like that. Congrats! Excellent job on the mock! I'll be sending you a PM shortly about the prize. And once again, thank you to everyone that participated.
Official Results I'm sure I'll have some other contests. BTW it was ticket, not tickets. I only have one seat. Since I'm not in San Diego this season, I'm sure I won't be using my ticket every game, so expect that I'll have other contests to give them away on THIS website.
Official Results haha nice! i still havent gotten my BoltTalk I won back when the website was still new :censored:
Official Results Just PM him... It must have been an oversight.... He'll get ya one... or you can have my size Medium... :lol:
