Team Admin/HR Excel at Ball Guess with a Demonstration in Estimation
By: Tim Moubray, Director, Orange County Parks & Recreation Department
Greetings all, Here are your August County Cup results …
It was great to see so many folks on such a hot day. We had 80 participate in the Ball Guess, hosted at the J.U.I.C.E. Employee
Appreciation Event. For this event, participants observed several bags and stacks of assorted balls and attempted to determine the exact number. Some meticulously counted while others took a single look and made a random guess. For those interested, there were 77 bouncy balls in the coffee can, 42 baseballs in the white bucket, 39 pickleballs in the blue bag, 35 wiffleballs in the clear bag, and 31 golf bags in the hanging black bag.
With a range of guesses from 108 to 1734, the actual amount was 357. Our winner for August is Emily Welch (Team Extension) with a guess of 350 and a difference of 7. Finishing second, with a guess of 365, was Ashley Jacobs (Team Admin/HR). There was a tie for third at 15 off between Alyson Simpson (Team Admin/HR) at 372, and Bryan Seal (Team Sheriff) at 342. In the team standings, Admin/HR had four finishers in the top six to open a big lead on the field. But remember, it ’ s still anyone ’ s game to win. The County Cup is an important part of our organization ’ s Cultural Initiative, which seeks to make Orange County an employer of choice, able to recruit and retain skilled employees. Look like fun?
