So I guess it's my turn to broadcast the results of this hockey pool. A pool that I was doing fairly well in, until Cath made me brag. This resulted in me being jinxed for the remainder of the season. Ok, so I was doing well maybe for the first two weeks of the pool, and the trend is clearly for me to stink it up. In my defense though ... this has always been a Canadian sport, and I'm a fan of the Islanders. Those two things mean I was fated to fail.
Anyways, onto the results.Here are the results for Week 23. dreamsandhope (Chall, correct?) ran away with the point total this week with 42. Richardipus trailed her by 7 to come in 2nd. Cath had 31 for 3rd, and a gaggle of us scored 30 points for the week (ScientistMother, Gerty, and myself) for fourth. Bob scored 28, and Lavaland brought up the rear with 27. Since this is all about me, I didn't really gain any ground this week (again), and tying with Gerty meant I'm still solidly in DFL.
The overall standings? Lavaland's poor showing this week allowed Richardipus to sneak within one point of the lead. Everything else stayed pretty much the same except Chall moved into a tie for 5th with . . .

I didn't have the numbers, so I looked some up. I was thinking in terms of *number of institutions* not *number of students*. I think the principle would hold for number of students, but quite poss. . .Read More
