An apology to the Unplugged GT

I have two things I want to post tonight.  This being the first I will try to keep brief.

Basically my worst fear about running a GT came true.  I screwed up the scoring.  All weekend long this is always the thing I worry about the most.  Last thing I want to do, all other things considered, is give out awards to the wrong people.  And now I’ve done just that.

Well what the heck happened?  The formula that was calculating Favorite Opponent scores had an error in it.  In short, 38 players had less points than they should have.  Anyone who received a 2nd place vote only got 2 points instead of 6.  Fortunately, this made only minor impacts onto overall standings as a whole.  However, it made significant impacts to the Favorite Opponent awards.

If you looked at your sports score and thought “gosh, I  didn’t realize I was such a jerk” you might want to look at the corrected scores.  Overall, 232 more points were distributed across the field.

I can’t really “fix” what happened, but I’ll do what I can to compensate for the situation as best I can.  I will be in contact with the “winners” to outfit them with trophies and prizes.  I will NOT be taking these awards back (prizes or trophies) from anyone who received these at the ceremonies.  The gentlemen that received the awards all still finished top 10 in sports, and just a few points away.  They all were clearly ahead of the pack anyway and should be commended on being great opponents.

To make matters worse I can’t just go buy new trophies.  They are each hand crafted by yours truly and take quite a while to create.  That said, I will try to get them out as soon as possible along with the GW prizes.

So once again my sincerest apologies to the entire field for the mix up, but in particular to the “old” winners:

  1. Jake Hutton
  2. Josh Hankin
  3. Brian McMillen
  4. Anthony Valente
  5. Scott Craig

And the “new” winners:

  1. Jake Hutton
  2. Allen Buehner
  3. Tony Chastenay
  4. Chris Lovell
  5. Jay Malvagno

Sad face,
Jon

One reply on “An apology to the Unplugged GT”

No worries on my end Jon. My friend and I had a blast and was simply happy to have all my scores improve from my showing two years ago. Thanks to You and all the other unplugged members who hosted the event. I thought you did a great job.
