ROUND 1 RESULTS - October 2005

       Thank you for playing in the Contest Center's Tournament of Riches. There were 49 competing entries for the October 2005 Round 1 puzzle. This makes 8 complete groups of 6 players. These 8 winners will receive $35 each, or they may choose to continue to Round 2 and try for $175. There is also one partial group with 1 player. The winner of that group will receive $11.

       Total prize money won this month is $291. Total winnings paid in the Tournament of Riches is now $58,602.

       All winners will receive forms asking if they wish to continue to the next round. The forms are enclosed with each monthly mailing. Winners who wish to risk their prizes and continue to the following round must sign and return the forms by the given deadline. Winners who wish to stop and take their prizes may discard the signature forms. Winners will receive either their prize check or their higher round puzzle(s) with the next month's Round 1 puzzle. If there is an odd number of players for a given higher round, one player will be held over to a later month.

       Joel Prescott had the 234-point top Round 1 solution shown below. Since there were 9 groups, you did not need the top score to win. In fact, you could score 6 points lower and still win. The cutoff was at 228 points with 39 and 32 on the top two rows.

       Here is the highest-scoring entry in Round 1 and the list of winners:

   T   E   S   L       R   E   T   40	   234 Joel Prescott
					   234 Roger Snead
   E	   E	   S   A   T   E   36	   233 Donna Fritschka

There are still 5 players waiting for Round 2. As soon as one more Round 1 winner decides to go ahead to the next round another Round 2 puzzle can be issued.

There are currently 5 players who have won over $900, and who could reach the $1000 limit in the next 3 months. Top players in this situation may be wise to go ahead to Round 2 as often as they can. Once they reach the $1000 cutoff they will get no more chances to go to Round 2. But, if they choose to go to Round 2, say 10 more times before they reach $1000, then they will get 10 shots at the $175 Round 2 prize, and perhaps a few chances to win the $1000 Round 3 prize and the $5000 Round 4 prize.
