Happy New Year! January 1, 2020 Update

Finally some upsets in the bowls (much to the chagrin of Hokie fans), but Andrew Lessner continues to hold a firm grip on the lead with 23 out of 26 points despite two losses yesterday. Last year’s winner Xiaorong Lai and Stephanie Everett have moved into a tie for second place with 21 points, but ironically neither of them can pass Andrew because their remaining picks are similar to Andrew’s. Nevertheless, they are both in strong contention to finish in the money.

By my calculations, five entries are still mathematically alive to win going into the New Year’s Day games – Andrew Lessner, Kris Bisci, Tony Chan, Kylie Snyder, and Jeff Parker. But plenty of entries can finish in the top 3, so it will be an interesting day with 4 games and 6 points up for grabs.
