Nickelsearcher 15,000 Post Contest

Standings Through Round 9


Player	          Total

halfamind	   75
Zurie	           75
CKcollectibles2	   70

joshu-a	           70
HondoB	           60

mcshilling	   60

jason39305	   50
Dearborn	   45
jbuck	           45
loonielewy	   45
Marv65	           45
mrwhatisit	   45
nfine	           45
triggersmob	   45
BStrauss3	   40
jomic	           35
Sharks	            5


So, as we get ready for the final round some prize 'what if' scenarios based on these standings:

Petespockets55 clinches the Contest Championship by making a Round 10 guess and gaining the 5 points. I strongly suspect that @Petes is a player that took some time with math to estimate the container volume.

Very well played all contest. It's time @Petes to start reviewing your prize options!

halfamind and Zurie each can clinch a top 3 podium spot with a Win in Round 10, and possibly clinch a podium spot with the Runner Up finish in Round 10, depending on the tiebreaker rules.

CKcollectibles2, CoinforMe and joshu-a can clinch a top 3 podium spot with a Win in Round 10, subject to the tie breaker rules..

The 4 players at 60 points might have a podium spot with a Win in Round 10, but it depends on what the players ahead of you do and the tie-breaker rules.

Everyone else is playing Round 10 for your guessing pride and a shot at one of the two fabulous participation prizes.

Get ready for Round 10!

Not true Mike - read above. You're going to need to pull off 2 round wins in a row and get some help - but you're not out of it yet!

I'm assuming that Petespockets55 will make a Round 10 guess. After that, there are a total of 9 players with a shot at the #2 or #3 prize positions depending on how they do in Round 10.

I see I was off by a few hundred last round, so I'll guess:

Fun comment HondoB.

I showed my lathe turned calabash back in Round 4. The Round 10 container is a full length gourd, with the top broken off, that I grew for my wife art projects.

Bring on the contest defining guesses!
