You can't always get what you want. 
But if you try sometimes, you get what you need.

 
So true....and I needs me a new coffee mug

• If you have not already done so, please get your picks or updates for the gifts completed in the 24 hours.  The drawing will take place on Sunday with distribution immediately following.  We will continue to accept picks until the drawing is complete, but once the drawing takes place on Sunday cannot guarantee that they will be accepted.

I've posted the list of the 49 folks that have not yet made their picks here.  Feel free to PM your teammates or friends that are on the list to wake them up.

Here's a link for you Sleinous: http://teamevga.killerbea...e.com/madness2013.html

I's gots crayons!  Watcha color ya want troy?
 

<--- Hands Troy a yellow crayon.  Enjoy sir... enjoy!
 

Quick note: 
 
Most likely I will be asleep when the final update rolls in and thus the final results will not be posted until sometime Monday.  Now that I am waking up at the crack of dawn everyday it might be a good idea the end time(s) a little earlier?

No matter what happens Troy... you call it.  I'll actually read the rules better next year!  And thank you.  Again call it as you see it... *flips coin*.
 

Ok. Since there was so much about points and teams...who won the contest? I just left my stuff full best and stopped watching the stat page.

We all won tank.

Nice folding all.

Ok of we all won then we should all get titans on EVGA

I just looked at the contest page... So this year there are four winners? Did I read that correctly?

I am not seeing a list... I am reading this...
 
Playoffs:

• At the conclusion of the pool play portion of the competition the 4 teams with the most points will enter into the playoff championship bracket.  The remaining 4 teams will enter into the consolation bracket.  In the playoff brackets, each team will compete head to head versus another team for approximately one week and the team with the most points advances. 

• The team that wins the championship bracket is crowned Team EVGA folding champions and the remaining teams from the bracket are ranked based on their finish.  In a similar fashion teams from the consolation bracket will be ranked accordingly.

• Once again I would ask that if you haven't taken the time to fill out the feedback form, you take a couple minutes to do so.  Now is the time to lets us know what was good, what was bad, and how things can be better!  Your feedback is highly valued and will help to improve future contests.  
• A big thanks to Drougnor for once again providing our hourly stats updates.
• Thanks to Punchy for
  •  running our the gift distribution as smoothly as ever,
  • sending out PMs to make sure people didn't miss out on the contest,
  • providing the chatbox we use on the contest site
• Thanks to DutchForce for encouraging me back in January to run the contest again when I had my doubts as well as helpful suggestions along the way.
• Everyone who took the time and responsibility to be a team captain (in order by team):
  
  • Crunching Tigers Folding Dragons: Xavier_Zepherious
  • F@Holding Pimps: Drougnor and DutchForce
  • FAHaholics Anonymous: rjbelans
  • Fanatical Folders: OLD-SLO-GAMER
  • Fast and Furious Folders: redcloud
  • FoldCo: sajinor
  • Insaniacs: Madrias and Shykal
  • Protein Prophets: AcesofDeath7
• Everyone that generously donated something to the folding gift pool that we gave away at the end of the contest.  The generosity of this community never ceases to amaze me and certainly make events like this that much more special.  
  
• Everyone that participated in this contest.  You truly exemplify what makes this team so great and why these contests are any fun in the first place.  Without everyone that signed up, it'd just be Drougnor and I tracking your stats and looking them over while having a few beers (wait a minute - that doesn't sound so bad!).  Really though, it is the community that makes these events what they are, so Thank You All! With any luck, we'll be back to do it again next year...
  • Now its time to turn our attention to the Chimp Challenge

 

This has been my first contest ever with the folding team, although I fold.  I was hesitant in the past when I first started because I was A) new to the group and B) felt embarrassed with what little I could do to help.
 
Over time I have realized it is not what you can crank out but what you do crank out that is important.
 
I have also been welcomed into the EVGA community warmly and with the passion one can only describe as a team reaching out to include others.
 
I've enjoyed this little go-around and look forward to retooling for next years challenge. 
 
Thanks to all who have expended time and energy to help a worthy cause.  You all still rock!
