Entrance to the contests and mutations to your predictions is not longer possible.Winner of the 2025 Top3 Contest with 392 participants is Patrick Secchi from France.
Winner of the 2025 Pick20 Contest with 296 participants is Dennis Hermans from The Netherlands.
Congratulations everyone on the podium. Eternal fame for Patrick and Dennis.For Patrick in his 14th participation and finally succes for France.
With all the analyses he contributes on the Facebook page it is well deserved. For Dennis this was his debute!
Also Frans Hägblomm and Glenn Rosendahl are very experienced. Frans won in 2017 the Pick20 contest and
Glenn is highly ranked in the all-time list.
With 271 points for the winner in 49 events this has been the hardest contest to find the winners since 2014.
For those who stop following the rankings when they're even somewhere between 160 and 260, take a look
at David Donley's progress. Impressive and encouraging. A top 20 finish appears still possible!
