I'm going to go and lay down and watch second half of race in bed. I'm not well so there is a very good chance I won't be back to add up scores and pay everyone for all the games until late tonight.

Homestead Results

Congrats to Rickie for picking up his 2nd win of the year with the only 5! A fitting end considering how well he has gone this season.

Then we have a five way tie for second, where EVERYONE took Edwards for the win. Moving to the second tiebreaker both Onlooker and Yisman took Smoke for 2nd place... leaving us needing Yisman's 'favorite' rule to break the tie. :\

Congrats to Onlooker for winning the 2nd place battle. (you went close to completing the set so everyone got a pay DDT, but no cigar sadly)

Vegas and BadNina were the only ones to pick Smoke for the win.

Thanks to everyone who played this year. In particular the people who didn't miss a single week .


Will send payouts for all comps and post results for the other games as soon as I can manage it. (next few hours)

[yisman]

I got screwed

aside from the fact that kyle and hamlin was the one I was switching back and forth on, we have that bad tiebreaker

[onlooker]

Rickie isn't a Pro. How does he get full jackpot?

[yisman]

give me a cut of the part rolling down

it was a true tie after all!

plus rickie didn't pay!

[onlooker]

I won the third tie breaker, so I should get the remaining jackpot.

If your Pro status expires, it expires.

[yisman]

I still don't think it's fair. There's no way for me to post at that time so it's impossible for me to win that tiebreaker.

As for rickie, he didn't pay.

[onlooker]

As for rickie, he didn't pay.

From what I gathered from another thread, he hasn't paid for 4 weeks now. That's how long he hasn't been Pro.

I should be top points receiver this week. Flip flop the payouts, and I will be happy.

Or even DQ rickie, and pay me 325, and yisman 100. I would go for that, even if a DQ would happen I should get all 425.

Sorry rickie, but you have to pay to play.

[Optional]

Ah shudup you two.

I agreed to cover Rickie's entry until he renewed pro status. I've done it for lots of people all year. In almost every game.

Yeah I hated that this week. Dumb part is I removed that tie breaker initially, when we went to picking first and second, but put it back again.

Will definitely lose it totally next year.


You two aren't really upset are you?

[onlooker]

Can you cover my entries next year until I win?
