Championship Game - FINAL RESULTS
|
John Neltner persevered through a strong field of contenders to claim the 2024
Basketball Bracket Challenge. He had UConn winning it all, and the proved
to be the difference in claiming a thirteen point margin of victory.
Jennifer Cleaveland came home second, also with UConn. But the real threat
to John was Zain Aziz, who came within one game of winning back to back pools.
Zain ended up third after Prude fell in the final. MIke King finished
fourth, followed by Chris Jackson.
We introduced a new game in 2024. Thanks to a suggestion from Eric Ruter,
we took a chance on a squares game. And it was a huge success.
Expect this to be a mainstay of future BBCs.
