WIZARDS OF THE FINAL FOUR
Finally, we've lost a couple of #1's. Even though this won't make up for how boring this tournament has been, at least the Boy George's of the world won't rule this Shootout. Let's see what has happened this past weekend.
Out
of all our entries, there were only 14 people that were able to correctly
identify who the Final Four would be. For that, we grant them Supreme
Ultimate Wizard status. Those people were:
Mark
Henry, Earl Shaw, Chris Pardue, Kiel Sexton, Nathan Downing, Sharon Reasonover,
Bryan Bassham, Mike Beck #2, Mark Ludek #1, Tim Reasonover, plus these
Boy George
Bravery
Award winners , Quaye Bealmear,
TeddyBlue Mushock, Jake
Cruzen #2, and
Roy Ward. Wizardship for these four is automatically CANCELLED.
Congratulations to all of these people for quite an accomplishment. Oh, as for the previous Boy George Award winners, I told you last update that this would follow you the rest of the tournament.
We have trimmed
down the field of 64 to just the Final Four in the Big Texas Shootout.
After this weekend we have a new leader in the clubhouse. TeddyBlue
Mushock of Dallas, Texas has put himself to take home the Championship.
With the lead comes Supreme ULTIMATE Wizard status unless you are a Boy George
Bravery Award winner. CANCELLED!
Making
it into the top ten of the standings after four rounds or the tournament takes
great skill. If you can make it into the top ten, then you truly are a
Supreme Wizard. Those gained the Supreme level of Wizardry are Jake Cruzen
#2, Earl Shaw, Chris Pardue, Stanley Macadory, Bob Crisci, Mark Ludek #1, Bryan
Bassham, Kristi Downing, Annie Beck, and Mike Beck #2. Unfortunately
for Jake Cruzen #2, Stanley Macadory, Bob Crisci, and Annie Beck........
WIZARDSHIP CANCELLED.
If you can get
yourself into the top 25, you deserve to be called a Wizard. Those granted
Wizard status (except those, Boy George and Clayton Aiken Bravery recipients)
are Ricky Fuller
,
Mark Henry, Quaye Bealmear
, Mike Alexander, Tres Jones
,
Nathan Downing, Kiel Sexton, Gilbert Sims
,
Tyrone Walker
,
Madison Painter
,
Robert Murphy, Victor Gonzalez, Tim Reasonover, and Grant Faucett.
