Big J and tmurray266, congratulations! You’ve both won a $50 and $25 giftcard to the store of your choice, respectively. As for the 3rd place prize to a random member who participated in every week, Random.org gave me Group 4, Standing 16, which was Karinger. Unfortunately, Big J and Karinger decided not to show their e-mail addresses to me on Yahoo, so I’ll need you both to comment on the group message board and leave an e-mail that I can contact you at.

Thanks again to everybody who participated and we’ll certainly be doing this again next year!
