Slowflake is best known for running the Board Odds Projects (or BOP) for every Contest from Spring 2004 to Spring 2006. Slow is interesting in that despite being one of the board's most influential Gurus, he had refused to be involved in any of the Guru Contests. This is possibly a result of his decision to consistently submit the world's most unoriginal brackets, as he rarely (if ever) picks against the chalk that his BOP determines.
