ol'number7 0 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Sometimes a sincere apology is all that is needed. I wish that more people in this world would just own up to their shortcomings.Thanks Estorm -- I am truly mad at myself for screwing that up Link to post Share on other sites
seacucumber 2 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 This is total bs people not showing up for the last match. I even see one person that is locked in that didn't play. I think that is classless unless he had a VERY good excuse. That is just like giving someone free points. I will not participate inthis again unless there are rules against no shows! Typical poor sports, "I can't improve so screw it!". You don't see that in sports, if teams didn't show for their lame duck games they would be fined heavily by the league. I realize it is different, but also the same. I just don't like the fact that last place that showed tonight got 4 points when I had to fight to get 4 points in the last match. I totally agree with EStormOK. Anyone who merely showed up got 5 points on Tuesday for the hi buy-in and I had to fight to get 5 points total in my first 3 matches That being said I think Zsta has some good new rules for next season and as I mentioned before, I think an additional tie breaker should be added to consider 'total opponents outlasted/defeated' to factor into the DNS. Just my $0.02. OK, I'll head back to my cave now before you guys kick me out of this thread Link to post Share on other sites

Ignition 0 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I apologize to anyone I may have burned by not showing up for last Thursday's match. I completely forgot about it. Didn't mean to screw anyone. In hindsight I wish I hadn't forgotten, as I would have a much better chance of advancing than I do now...J-M Link to post Share on other sites
GWCGWC 83 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I screwed up. I apologize, I have no excuse, it was not intentional -- the whole time I thought I was playing Wed 10/18 not Tuesday -- anything I can do to make it up let me know I apologize to anyone I may have burned by not showing up for last Thursday's match. I completely forgot about it. Didn't mean to screw anyone. In hindsight I wish I hadn't forgotten, as I would have a much better chance of advancing than I do now...J-M YOU BOTH OWE ME $5!

brvheart 1,752 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Since Brandywine and Mercury both have 21 points, why is brandywine secure and Mercury not? Link to post Share on other sites
TB17 0 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Also if Mercury needs two guys to not finish first, doesn't that mean he's automatically in since there's no way two guys can get first? Link to post Share on other sites

Canuckickstan 2 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 First hand last night:BearCanada all in followed by Allie and CDPier(I think)Bear 77Allie AACD JJand the A's hold. I think the flop held 3 10's as well. If Freak would have called, he definatly would have had a 10. What a luckbox, cardrack, Jamie Gold lover... Just jokin. GG all. Link to post Share on other sites
zsta2k6 0 Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 Since Brandywine and Mercury both have 21 points, why is brandywine secure and Mercury not?brandywine has the tiebreaker over mercury, and there are only enough people to jump ahead of one, not both.Also if Mercury needs two guys to not finish first, doesn't that mean he's automatically in since there's no way two guys can get first?reading comprehension... he needs chrisrichey and spence to get worse than first... meaning if one of those two get first, and me and jade do good enough, he is gone. Only one of them needs to win, not both.. oh yeah... dont come in dead last tonight First hand last night:BearCanada all in followed by Allie and CDPier(I think)Bear 77Allie AACD JJand the A's hold.
