Jumped from 11th to 2nd... That x5 on Parker sure helped... Canada in the house! Well played

In my first two years here, I ended respectively 27th and 17th - it takes time and patience, though we're all competent enough to win this thing... I'm on a reverse journey - in my 3rd year I'm seeing if I can be out of contention by April 30th

Ball: Got shafted by the draw. Zhang: Had Parker ready to go, decided to take a vacation. Joshua: Figured he'd fight scared to a decision; he proved me wrong. Forever the journeyman.

Shouldn't a x3 be applied then? My bad - I didn't remember this rule. I have changed your stats and corrected the standings table. Thanks for alerting me to this issue, man.

SteveM

cheers, do we only get 1 then? shouldn't a x3 be applied then? Yes only one x5, two x3 and three x2 - due to it being a 4 month comp. Your x3 gets passed over to me 'cos I had to do 5 mins 'work' diggin out the info :boxing: > > > > > I suppose a x3 should be applied - seem to remember there was precedent for that previous seasons

Thats weird, i specifically looked to see if i had any left as well.. You played it early in the season, I remember this from a previous check a few weeks ago... Calling PICK EM CREW to assist on this issue whenever possible, so that exact details can be provided.
