Here are the final, overall results for the 2016 Summer Extravaganza Contests.
A total of 18 people entered at least one of the contests this year and 3 people entered all 6.
There were 2 people who earned a total of 6 points and 2 who earned a total of 5 points. Those 4 will each win a major prize. After taking them out of consideration for the consolation prizes, I first allocated consolation prizes to those contests where only 1 person remained eligible (there were 2 of those).
After those two rounds of allocations, there was one contest with no one remaining for an individual prize. That left two contests with multiple people eligible for a consolation prize, so those choices were made by random choice (I used random.org and spun the wheel 5 times in each case and took the 5th number to award the prize).
Since that left one individual consolation prize that was now unallocated, I decided that that would be the small bob that I was going to provide and instead, I will upgrade it to an MFRB so we can allocate identical first place awards to the two people who earned 6 points each.
The two people who got 5 points will get the 2nd and 3rd place prizes. I have decided to make those awards on the basis of who got to 5 points first.
SO, given that convoluted logic, here are your 2016 SE Mind Bender Prize Winners:
In First Place, each winning an MFRB of blanks from Edgar (that's me
) for earning 6 points we have:
Jim Cochrun (Jims Pens) and Jeff Vogan (Skeleton2014)
In Second Place, winning Sierra Pen Kits from mbroberg for getting to 5 points in MB #4, we have:
Robert Holiday (rholiday)
In Third Place, winning Modified Cigar Pen Kits from KenV for getting to 5 points in MB #6, we have:
Warren Welch (Southernclay)
And our 5 consolation prize winners are:
Steve Johnson (SteveJ) -- bob from Glens Pens
Keith Koene (DigBaddy72) -- bob from Edward Cypher
Cody Walker (cwalker935) -- bob from Papa Turner
Curt Reid (Creid) -- bob from Rounder
Kelly Moore (Krash) -- bob from Karl99
Congratulations to all the winners and thanks to all members who donated these great prizes to make this contest possible.
Thanks also to everyone who entered these contests. I enjoyed bringing them to you and I hope you enjoyed playing. See you at BASH time next February. :biggrin:
