12 Wrap-up
There was a three way tie for 1st and Mike Manos predicted the highest scoring game. As a result, he won the tiebreaker over Chris Birchfield and Joe Ogarek. They all missed one first round game but got the rest correct. Mike also won the Big 12 contest in 2007 (he's also had a second place finish and three third place finishes). On the other side of the standings was Easton Birchfield who came in last with 7 points.
