Chad has participated in four playoffs, but this is his first time in the top 3. Nice work, Chad!
This was Ivan's first playoff - an excellent showing for a first-time player!
Niels has participated in seven playoffs. He took top honors in the Q3 2010 playoff and took second place in the Q2 2010 playoff. That is a very impressive track record.
As you can see, the highest % correct is 87. This was a tough competition and in the end the time to answer became the differentiator. Would you like to try it for yourself? Then set up a practice based on the competition and see how you do!
Congratulations to everyone who played in the playoff. I hope you found it entertaining, challenging and educational.
