2002 Oscar Pool
Results: We only had 9 entries this year, and believe it or not, the first and second place awards went to the same person, as Andy Fasnacht was victorious with his traditional "Will Win" and "Should Win" Lists. Here are the final standings:
Here is some standard stuff:

$2 to play. Winner takes 75 percent, second place earns 25 percent of the total pot. Select one entry from each category. Scoring favors the major awards. Categories are worth one point, unless listed otherwise. The maximum number of points a person can earn is 30. If there are co-winners in one Oscar category, each winner receives full point value.
If there is a tie at the end of the ceremony, the answer to the tie breaker question will determine the winner, starting with the name of the movie, followed by the person who guesses closest to the correct number of Oscars that movie won. If the contest is still tied at that point, the pot will be divided among the co-winners equally.
Return completed form to Rick Reitz (Lititz) or Andy Fasnacht (Ephrata) no later than Sunday, March 24 at 7:55 p.m. (the night of the Academy Awards) You can also e-mail your picks to Rick at buzznbea@ptd.net.
Entries cost $2 each, but Rick has a way you can cover your fee at no cost to you by signing up for Pay Pal through him. If you are interested in finding out how this can be done, e-mail your interest to him, and he will send you the information you need to set it up.
"PayPal rocks, especially if you do any purchasing at on-line auctions like eBay," Rick said.
Good luck with your pools, and we'll see if Andy can make it a three-peat; if the Reitz's can get their name back on the winners board, or if we can get some new names listed in the permanent Hall of Champions. It's a wide-open contest this year, so anything can happen.
