2012 Caesar Award Randy Buehler

Reigning Caesar Randy Buehler made it two in a row by successfully defending his perch atop the BPA rankings to become our second back-to-back top gamer. However, the Washington native’s margin of victory was slim, besting 2004 Caesar James Pei by but ten laurels—37 less than his 2011 margin of victory over his predecessor, Texan Stefan Mecay. And unlike 2011 when he claimed both the Caesar and Consul titles, he was unable to best Nick Henning two times in a row as Nick rose to Consul—completing his rise from the WBC Juniors program to claim Master of Horse during WBC week. Pei, however, retained his Top 25 ranking for the sixth straight year. Buehler and Curt Collins II maintained their status for the third straight year while six others have two-year streaks still alive.

Rounding out the top six BPA competitors for 2012 were Keith Wixson, Daniel Eppolito, Doug Galullo and Eric Freeman whose email, pre-con and mini-con victories all enabled them to outscore Nick Henning’s totals amassed entirely during WBC week. Only nine of last year’s Top 25 players managed to retain that high ranking led by Buehler who remained at the top despite a 36-laurel drop. The other top scorers to retain their Top 25 standing were Pei, Freeman, Henning and Sceadeau D’Tela, Jason Levine, Robert Kircher, Andrew Emerick and Curt Collins II.
