22- Blue Belle, Danny 1312 (plus 2 anonymous people) 23 - Tanaqui (plus 1 anonymous) 24 - VHughes (plus 1 anonymous) 25 - Indiana, Seagull, The Addict 26 - goldfish
So with points for the top 10 predictors ( and ties ) in each of the Slams for Jon's 2025 Slam Championship, these 12 will be the ones to get the first points of the year.
Any of the relevant anonymous folk wish to declare?
Unclaimed, do we then effectively ignore them, and give points to the other 8 plus the 3 who went for 21?

Thanks Indy - yes, we will only allocate points to the people who are closest and name themselves, the top 10 named people, anonymous folks are almost as if they didnt exist!
one thing though - it isnt necessarily the folks above - if the wins stopped now, players at 21 or 20 or maybe even lower (and have been counted out of winning) may in fact be among the 10 closest players. So dont ignore those just yet!
So if we ended on 22, the 10 closest would be between 19 and 25 in fact - Goldfish isnt quite in the points scoring yet! One more win or more wins will change that range and equation.
Voting low isnt necessarily a bad thing and voting high not a good thing even if it keeps you in the running to win for longer !
Indy is in with a chance of a third straight slam title here, thats worth keeping an eye on. Goldfish has a chance of a second straight AO title and that would be welcome if we reach 26 wins
If anyone has the time and inclination to create a list of folks who won this, and winning totals, prior to AO2023 , that would be a thing that is very much appreciated. I keep thinking Ill get around to checking but never do - largely as I am on my phone and dont find it easy to search and, when on my laptop, it is during work hours usually and I dont have time.
