Jack Plot Vegas

Everyone came out a winner at the 2008 JackPlot!™ Vegas National Competition – at least in the game, if not at the blackjack tables!

Everyone seemed to have a wonderful time and the event itself was first class. The Winfield Solutions marketing team – including Josh and Nathan and Allison – deserve a standing ovation for the planning and execution of this great show. Also give a hand to Rob and Dana with InHouse Media for all they did to make JackPlot!™ a winner.

This is one great looking group of contestants (click on the photo to see a larger version) and it was wonderful to see that nearly everyone stuck around for the final round to see who got the title. New friendships were made and a whole lot of fun was had overall. Everyone really was a winner.

Please check out the Official JackPlot!™ National Competition photo album to see all 250 pictures from the event. I think we’ll make this my last post. I did add some videos to previous posts – there are 20 posts altogether, so scroll down and click on older entries to see them all from the beginning.

It’s been my pleasure to be your JackPlot!™ Vegas blogger. Viva Las Vegas!

The first day of the JackPlot!™ National Competition is over and most players are heading out on the town. They can have a little fun tonight as the final round begins after lunch on Saturday.

Playing four rounds of a board game in five hours can be pretty exhausting and the teams really put a lot of effort and strategy into it while having a lot of fun. The Final Four will be announced after lunch and the last two rounds will determine the first ever National JackPlot!™ Champion!

The audience had their own competition going as they were able to win chips by answering trivia and other fun questions. Everyone has a clicker that provides instant feedback to answer questions.

Here is a little video of the open of today’s round as all the contestants were introduced.

Welcome to the official JackPlot!™ Vegas blog, sponsored by CROPLAN GENETICS® seed!

I will be your official JackPlot!™ Vegas blogger and I am getting in the spirit to head for the Silver State tomorrow to watch the games begin.

Participating in the sweepstakes are sixteen crop producers from across the country.  The competition focuses on crop production insight and expertise and is based on the The JackPlot!™ agronomic board game. They will be teamed with CROPLAN GENETICS® expert agronomists and will compete for “bushels” of production by answering agronomic questions.

The JackPlot!™ game is a board game that features Dan, the Answer Plot® Man. CROPLAN GENETICS operates more than 125 Answer Plot locations across the country, where producers can access hands-on education and training related to crop production and agronomic issues, working directly with expert agronomists who focus on local growing conditions and needs. Many of the agronomic topics covered at the Answer Plot sessions are addressed in the JackPlot!™ game.

The December tournament is the culmination of the JackPlot!™ National Competition and Sweepstakes, which began with the release of the JackPlot!™ game in February 2008. Check out the bios of the players on the side bar of this blog and stay tuned in to vote for your favorite!
