Chris Dunmire opened with the foundation of a contender. A Dodgers-backed baseball card finished 14th, Ole Miss helped college football reach 31st and a Seahawks title read carried the NFL Playoffs entry to 51st.
The supporting scores never developed. NFL Survivor, the NBA and hockey all finished in the back quarter of the standings, while March and golf remained in the lower half. The volume of modest returns mattered more than any one miss.
Dunmire's 1164 points left him tied for 171st, 26 places down. Three sharp reads established the ceiling; the long stretch without a fourth determined the address.
