The Cook/Pardon train was surprising to me, especially at that price. I like their game when they are on, but they are so up and down, and the break may not play to their advantage. Risk/Reward I suppose! Barely edged Shaw to get in, but did come through. I cant believe I actually enjoyed watching a Sheila Shaw match. Thanks JB SouthpawI do enjoy the crafty play of Cook/Pardon, but when it isn't working it is really tough to watch. Looks like we got more Jekyll than Hyde this time around. |

Ok, here are your paid participants. G2 and Gaucho have the same picks. A lot of faith in teams with a Crabb. Big buy in on Callahan/Jones, I guess no bad publicity is true! I like Randy's bet on the top women's teams. $67 on the line! Team mens1 mens2 mq1 womens1 womens2 wq1 ShaneM2005 - Crabb/Gibb - Bourne/Crabb - Benesh/Beranek - Claes/Sponcil - Hughes/Wilkerson - Cannon/Reeves - $993,000 gauchoball11 - Crabb/Gibb - Bourne/Crabb - Kolinske/Rosenthal - MHP/Pavan - Larsen/Stockman - Callahan/Jones - $996,000 guest2 - Crabb/Gibb - Bourne/Crabb - Kolinske/Rosenthal - MHP/Pavan - Larsen/Stockman - Callahan/Jones - $996,000 highline - Crabb/Gibb - Bourne/Crabb - Bomgren/Field - Claes/Sponcil - Larsen/Stockman - Cook/Pardon - $980,000 stevek - Crabb/Gibb - Bourne/Crabb - Allen/Slick - Hughes/Wilkerson - Larsen/Stockman - Cook/Pardon - $905,000 randy40 - Casebeer/Hyden - Bourne/Crabb - Kolinske/Rosenthal - MHP/Pavan - Klineman/Ross - Callahan/Jones - $996,000 robonthemic - Crabb/Gibb - Bourne/Crabb - Kolinske/Rosenthal - Claes/Sponcil - Hughes/Wilkerson - Callahan/Jones - $981,000 wyomingpancake - Crabb/Gibb - Budinger/Schalk - Kolinske/Rosenthal - Hughes/Wilkerson - Day/Fendrick - Dowdy/Muno - $993,000 thadius24 - Dalhausser/Lucena - Bourne/Crabb - Bomgren/Field - Hughes/Wilkerson - Day/Fendrick - Cook/Pardon - $900,000 Im optimistic about them but for most of us it seems like it was a financial play. Only robonthemic could have afforded a different women's Q team I had a REAL scientific method in choosing my women's teams-- I interviewed at least one of them since COVID shut everything down-- just check the VolleyballMag.com or Viral Volley Podcast feed  |

T2 - everyone who only got their Women's pick right T8 - ShaneM2005 & wyomingpancake miss on both their Q teams Getting at least one Q team in was almost essential in a field with this many common picks. ShaneM2005 is already out, he has the same top 4 teams as robonthemic but Rob has Callahan/Jones left also. wyomingpancake is still alive in theory but needs to make up a gigantic 4 point deficit, which is practically impossible |

Not this week anyway. Those two losses make you the second elimination, also due to not being able to beat Rob. |

I've given every Q team that didn't make it in a 9th, not 7th that was an error. This is where we stand, with teams still alive you getting your worse possible finish. Everyone did a horrible job picking the men's Q teams, but great job picking the MD teams, only 1 team picked has been eliminated before the semis. The women, still not having played their semis will have the bigger impact. There is going to be some 5ths. Player - T1 - T2 - T3 - T4 - T5 - T6 - CAP - Standings robonthemic - Crabb/Gibb - Bourne/Crabb - Kolinske/Rosenthal - Claes/Sponcil - Hughes/Wilkerson - Callahan/Jones - $981,000 - 28 gauchoball11 - Crabb/Gibb - Bourne/Crabb - Kolinske/Rosenthal - MHP/Pavan - Larsen/Stockman - Callahan/Jones - $996,000 - 30 guest2 - Crabb/Gibb - Bourne/Crabb - Kolinske/Rosenthal - MHP/Pavan - Larsen/Stockman - Callahan/Jones - $996,000 - 30 highline - Crabb/Gibb - Bourne/Crabb - Bomgren/Field - Claes/Sponcil - Larsen/Stockman - Cook/Pardon - $980,000 - 30 stevek - Crabb/Gibb - Bourne/Crabb - Allen/Slick - Hughes/Wilkerson - Larsen/Stockman - Cook/Pardon - $905,000 - 30 ShaneM2005 - Crabb/Gibb - Bourne/Crabb - Benesh/Beranek - Claes/Sponcil - Hughes/Wilkerson - Cannon/Reeves - $993,000 - 32 randy40 - Casebeer/Hyden - Bourne/Crabb - Kolinske/Rosenthal - MHP/Pavan - Klineman/Ross - Callahan/Jones - $996,000 - 32 thadius24 - Dalhausser/Lucena - Bourne/Crabb - Bomgren/Field - Hughes/Wilkerson - Day/Fendrick - Cook/Pardon - $900,000 - 34 wyomingpancake - Crabb/Gibb - Budinger/Schalk - Kolinske/Rosenthal - Hughes/Wilkerson - Day/Fendrick - Dowdy/Muno - $993,000 - 36 2 people are playing for fun this round, they'd be right in the meat of the pack. @pundit Taylor Crabb/Jake Gibb - Tri Bourne/Trevor Crabb - Billy Allen/Stafford Slick - Kelly Claes/Sarah Sponcil - Sara Hughes/Brandie Wilkerson - Kimberly Hildreth/Sarah Schermerhorn -34 westcoastmom - Casebeer/Hyden - Budinger/Schalk - Billy Allen/Stafford Slick - Klineman/Ross - Larsen/Stockman - Callahan/Jones - 34 |

I do want to think about tie breakers going forward Probably will be less commonality going forward. The low seed for Bourne/Crabb made them pretty irrestisible this week. Maybe picking the top 4 in the Q as the tiebreak? |

I saw on page one, you were all saying that the worst finish in the MD was 5th place. But teams who went 0-2 in the MD finished 7th. So two teams finished 3rd, two teams finished 5th, and two teams finished 7th.
