Prediction Contest: The Results Are In!

I looked all over the site to compile all the various event by event predictions from our commenters. Hopefully I didn't miss anybody. As mentioned there was a AAA competition and a AA competition. There were also a few random comments where people made predictions, but didn't enter all events/attach names. Those people didn't get entered into the grand championship of predictions, but I did score their events.

Ultimately, what I decided to do was give a top 3 predictions for each event and then list all the competitors in the AAA and AA competition in order of finish. You get -3 points for correctly picking the winner and -1 point for each person in your top 5 that finished in the top 5. Then you get positive points for how far away you were on each runner in your top five's place. For example, if I had Domenic Perretta 4th and he finished first, that's a +3 (and then a -1 because he is the in the top 5). There was a maximum of 10 for each individual person. If a runner didn't make the finals, they counted as place #13.
