Did You Know?

There has never been a repeat Sickness champion? Here are back-to-back winners in the other events:

• Gak (Shootout '06 and '06)
• Matty (Shootout '10-'12)
• Lars (NIT '11-'12)

Some players have taken the same title twice:

• Gak (bracket)
• Phil and Sib (dilemma)
• Lars (NIT)

The NIT should be renamed "The Lars Invitational NIT Challenge." He won the first, third, and fourth events along with placing 3rd in '10.

Matty's stranglehold on the Shootout title is unrivaled, and he's currently Digger's biggest challenge for the 2013 crown. Just another reason to root for Duke; Curry and Sheed could end Korea's dominance of the US.

I've never won a single event, but managed to take the '10 Sickness with a fistful of second place finishes.

I based most of my picks this year on @WillSasso's method. The only problem with this method is that it can be life altering.
