Congratulations to Kenny G ($104), who phi slamma jammed his way to his for his first March Madness Championship!!! While last year we had competitors with all four final four teams, this year, the competition was settle before the championship game was even played. Larry had the only chance to unseating Kenny, but Villanova's trouncing of Oklahoma clinched KG's victory. Allison stormed out to a fast lead in round one with some magical picks but lost pace, finishing a single point behind the leader for $40. Molly G grabbed sixteen green with some fine picks.
Seen below Kenny is clearly excited beyond all belief. The $104 1st place prize will come in handy when he takes all his new girlfriends out.
2nd Place is the one and only Allison Stromberg! Judiciously engineering her bracket, she was a point away form tying for 1st. $40 heads to the runner up.
3rd Place goes to Molly Gibson, who batted around some jokers like Uncle Dan and Nathan to take home $16 smackers. Dan Mc finished in 4th place, which gets him $0, nada, nothing, zilch… and an atta boy.
The winners circle!
This year we tried a new points system and thus the winner this year earned 252 points, while the winner last year had 155.

2015 Recap
Congratulations to Don Ross ($91), who cut down the nets for his second March Madness Championship!!!
After watching the trophy dance around the family shelves for 6 years, Don decided to reclaim the title with dominating picks. Nailing all four final four teams, Don Ross jumped into the lead, where he cruised home for the victory.
Duke's win jumped Andrew & William's ($35) team into second place, 6 points behind the leader.
The Doctor is in… third. All things considered, LeRoy III ($14) finishing 3rd just seems right.
Attached is an image of the final results.
Thank you for playing this year and let's do it again next year!
Don
