Snow Hockey Pool – Here’s When It Gets Fun!

4th Annual Snow Hockey Pool

This week’s Snow Hockey Pool standings show us one thing for sure – well two things for sure:

1) You can be in 4th place and still in the lead for a prize.

2) Roger is still behind everyone in the top 11.

We didn’t release the standings publicly last week. The official reason was my absence on Tuesday, but the real reason is pretty obvious. Mrs. Snow was still way ahead of Mr. Snow*.

This week, 1st, 2nd and 3rd place are occupied by Snow Team members or immediate family (but not Roger), so Team Canadian Bacon is in 4th place and winning in his own way, both at the same time. Here’s the top 5:

  • Hockey Rocks (our own Randy Norton)
  • Vancouver Knuckleheads (Roger’s wife)
  • AZ Canucks (Roger’s son)
  • Canadian Bacon
  • Victorius V

There are quite a few ties , including a 3-way tie for 8th place that has some familiar faces moving in the right direction. The rest of the Snow Team (Joe, Trisha, Tanya, me) are pretty well out of it – Tied for 34th or 35th might be the best among us.

As always, we appreciate our merchant sponsors for their generous prizes, and invite you to support them when you shop online!

Has It Already Been Eight Years? Maps.com Celebration Giveaway!

February marks 8 years of managing the Maps.com affiliate program and we’ve combined our efforts to provide a giveaway so you can help us celebrate!

Sure, a road trip would be fun, but we’re giving away Visa Gift Cards and Personalized Wall Maps instead! Enter to win via Rafflecopter at the end of this post.

I asked Roger to comment on the Maps.com – Snow Consulting relationship:

Has it Already Been Eight Years?!

Eight years in the affiliate marketing industry is a very long time, no matter what part of the industry you come from. There are few merchant-agency relationships that last two years, let alone eight.

Maps.com has been an incredible merchant over these past eight years and certainly sees the value of the affiliate marketing channel. We at Snow Consulting like to develop long term relationships like this and it is a testament to the increased results we can provide for our clients.

We are looking forward to the next eight years working with Maps.com and our loyal affiliates partners.

Joe Sousa, the Affiliate Manager and part of our Snow Team, coordinated this giveaway to celebrate the 8 year anniversary! You can read all about the prizes in the Affiliate Program Information Center for Maps.com.

Trouble In Snow Hockey Paradise – Top 5 Standings

4th Annual Snow Hockey Pool

2 members of Snow Team in the top 5 and neither of them is Roger!

Last week, Roger predicted that he would never hear the end of it if Kareth beat him in his own Hockey Pool. That’s so true, starting now!

This week brings another Snow Team member into the Top 5. Randy Norton is playing just for the fun of beating Roger; no Snow team members are eligible for prizes, of course. But Randy’s team came from nowhere to sit in 4th place this week.

The biggest change might be Team “Shanahand me a beer” – fell from 2nd place last week to 6th today. Team “Checks Chick” also fell out of the top 5, at least for now!

Here’s the Top 5 – Good luck to everyone playing in this 4th Annual Snow Hockey Pool:

  • 1 VictoriousV – still in the top spot! 274
  • T2 Canadian Bacon 264
  • T2 Vancouver Knuckleheads 264
  • 4 Hockey Rocks 262
  • 5 The Usual Suspects 259

As always, we appreciate our merchant sponsors for their generous prizes, and invite you to support them when you shop online!

Hockey Pool Standings: All Tied Up

4th Annual Snow Hockey Pool

Snow Hockey Pool scores are close!

We have a clear front-runner in Team Half Baked, but that’s a Snow Team member, so don’t despair. We aren’t eligible for prizes.

Second place is tied up with 115 points each, but that’s only 1 point better than the 3-way tie for 4th. So our Top 5 standings are actually comprised of 6 teams, with just a 1st, 2nd and 4th place for now.

Here are the current* Top 5 standings:

  • 1. Half Baked 123
  • T2. Victorius V 115
  • T2. I don’t know what I am doing 115
  • T4. Rams Suck 114
  • T4. Sunshine’s Skaters 114
  • T4. Snowstorm 114

*current as of 1:00 pm CST 1-29-13

There’s still plenty of time to pull ahead and win a prize. Our merchant sponsors providing prizes are PaulsTV.com, UsedGolfBallDeals.com and SharpShades.com. Good luck!
