I checked to see what was decided regarding those players in pre-BF wildcard positions, and whether they were eligible for inclusion in the year-end final. There was no definite answer.

Those players are:

Mexiken
bumblebee
Nandos - not sure if he/she is still around

Please vote ITT if you think they should be included, and I will go with the majority. I am not casting a vote ldo.

For the 'old' wildcards I could also suggest a 3 way play-off of sorts between Bat, Nandos & Mexiken for a place (not sure if I should include myself or not), as a Pre-BF wildcard ticket. 3 months isn;t long but is still a quarter of the reg season. Any thoughts on that.

Also, I didn't update the scoreboard at all for the first two weeks in April, so it isn't even certain that those people were actually in the wild-card spots on BF

I vote to let 'em in, BF changed all the rules for everything so the wild cards should count if they were in position before the catastrophe.

Let 'em in!

(Too bad Bee is one of 'em, but you take the bad with the good I suppose)

And I am putting a $2 bounty on Gothninja in Shanomaha, if out before the money.

Let's see that luckbox survive this!

Let all the fishes play imo. Invite the modfishes too imo.

also, I like the GN bounty. EZ money imo.

Anyone who plays in the regular shanoobs game, and it is their first shanoobs of the year is eligible for the Digest bounty. Bounty rules and target opportunities are stated in the BQ Digest.

And for the record, I was unaware that mexiken's were allowed into Canada? Are there any strawberry fields for them to get jobs? Any taqueria's for them to find something to eat? Soon the streets of Toronto will be overrun with those little pushcarts selling tamales and helados......there goes the Great White North

I vote for a Shanomaha leaderboard! It will jinx you for sure

Grats on the 3rd ship! Variance is craaaazy, huh?

GG everyone, Bat had his best finish yet! Oh wait, was he even sitting?

I didn't realize there was even a shot for me to still get to play. Would be awesome if I could, understand if I can't. Let me know.

All winners will get a PM well in advance of the final. I would vote to have them in, but being one it's a bit awkward so I'm steering clear.

Shaping up to be a great race for the last ticket ...

Code:

Hippy       34.6
Leroy       34
PapaPyrite  34
bb99        28.2

The last 2 Saturdays in December are Xmas Eve and New Years Eve ... I assume they are to be counted ... should make for a couple of interesting games ...

[X] Bat played his usual snug style in the PLO.
[X] The regular Shanoobs was rigged as usual.
[X] Gothninja must be stopped.

Yeah, it's mine and nobody is taking it from me! Especially not the English! DOJ will be involved if you make a wrong move!

As for Leroy, I have a call into his plant and am negotiating an overtime schedule that should keep him busy for the rest of the month

Amazing how a little bribe can get things done!
