2006 Caesar Award Results
Dec. 1, 2006

Hail Jeff Mullet

2005 | 2004 | 2003 | 2002 | Info

Jeff Mullet, a Cabbie with a penchant for the occasional “manly” game, rode his dominance of Age of Renaissance to the title of Casear in 2006 by topping all eligible players with 166 Laurels in the 2006 season. In all, Jeff banked 95 laurels with the Renaissance trading game—5 for a sixth at the email tournament, a whopping 60 for winning the Enlightenment mini-con tournament and another 30 for winning the event at WBC. Finishing second was another Jeff, Cornett to be precise, a mere 22 laurels behind, with 134—all earned at WBC. Jeff thus owes his overall BPA title to his well-travelled presence at Euro Quest, Enlightenment and the Block Party mini-cons which augmented his laurel totals, but also to his email campaigns. Jeff Cornett's near miss was made less painful by handily winning the Consul Award for most laurels at WBC. Rounding out the top six BPA competitors for 2006 were Chris Byrd, Don Greenwood, Thomas Browne and Ewan McNay in that order. Eight of last year's Top 25 players managed to repeat in 2006, led by Chris Byrd who rose from seventh to third. Greenwood, Browne, Tom Drueding, Ed Menzel, Bruce Reiff, Bill Crenshaw and Marvin Birnbaum all managed to retain Top 25 status another year also, while 17 new faces graced the leader board.

2006 Consul—Jeff Cornett

Once you strip away the points for email tournaments, mini-cons, and Pre-Cons you get a very different picture of who was king of the roost for those six days in August. The top seven players in the Consul standings did not score (or lose) a laurel outside of WBC and four of the top five Caesar candidates are nowhere to be seen in the race for Consul.
