Sean Grieshop of Cal wasn’t picked by anyone to finish 2nd. Brooks Fail of Arizona (17%) and Jacobo Vargas of Michigan (23%) were relatively popular choices in 3rd and 4th.

The 200 IM saw another favorite deliver. Andrew Seliskar of Cal, the pick of 87% to win, took the title. Andreas Vazaios of NC State (picked by 42% 2nd), John Shebat of Texas (7%), and  Vini Lanza of Indiana (21%) were next.

I think there is a problem with code you are using in the excel spreadsheet. the code you have for both the running total and day total
=sumproduct(D$2:DP$2=D8:DP8,D$7:DP$7)+sumproduct(D$3:DP$3=D8:DP8)+sumproduct(D$3:DP$4=D8:DP8)+sumproduct(D$5:DP$5=D8:DP8)
=sumproduct(D$2:AA$2=D8:AA8,D$7:AA$7)+sumproduct(D$3:AA$3=D8:AA8)+sumproduct(D$3:AA$4=D8:AA8)+sumproduct(D$5:AA$5=D8:AA8)

but I think it needs to be sumproduct(D$4:DP$4=D8:DP8) and sumproduct(D$4:AA$4=D8:AA8) instead of sumproduct(D$3:DP$4=D8:DP8) and sumproduct(D$3:AA$4=D8:AA8)
I think the way it is set up it might be double counting some people’s entries, as I think I have 5 more points than i should and some of the others as well
