Mr. Ferguson is actually more like his namesake in his ability to stubbornly get under the skin of people by simply not going away. As the contentious event #2 continued, the bleary eyed competitors who were still reeling from an 18 hour marathon came back in an attempt to close out the tournament.

The POY takes into account the size of the event a player plays when determining the number of POY points he or she earns.
