The last couple of years I have had a Bowl Confidence Contest that generated a lot of interest on our site and we had hundreds and hundreds of entries. Last year we had the biggest entry pool yet with nearly 1200 entries and it was a huge success with more than double the amount of entries compared to last year! Congratulations again to Don Seebold the winner of the 2009-10 Bowl Confidence Contest!! Don finished with an amazing 508 points won to just 87 points lost (85%) and took home the grand prize of $250. Gary Osborne finished in 2nd with 457 points (77%) and got $100 and a set of 2010 regionals. Rick Perk finished in 3rd with 452 points (76%) and got $50 and set of regionals. Last year I was at a disadvantage as I posted my plays first and they were up for everyone to see before they made their plays but I was pleased to finish in the top 100 in the contest with 365 total points. If you followed my forecasts on the site last year I hit 22 of the 34 bowls for 65%. Read more…
