NSB PICK EM 2023 GRAND FINALE - SATURDAY 23rd AND TUESDAY 26th DECEMBER 2023

[SteveM]

No truth to the rumor according to which each of the first five will pay a 25% sanctioning fee to Sulaiman Tatabanya for having kept the numbers going

Haha - but if I am inactive for 2 years can you make sure I stay in 3rd place in 2026? If so, I'll pay you a % of my winnings.

Cong**** ruedboy, well played sir!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Huge cong**** to ruedboy and the rest of this years' winners... remember there's 5 prize slots this year so we got:

1st ruedboy $400

2nd FinitoxDinamita $200

3rd SteveM $100

Equal 4th Mammoth & mlac $50

Fell rather appropriately for Mammoth and Mlac down in 4th and 5th on 1920 points apiece - avoiding the need for countback or some other means of splitting them since 4th and 5th prizes are both $50

So... Prizes for this year can be claimed directly from BIGPOPPAPUMP and once again huge thanks to the site and BPP for providing the prizes. As ever BPP will pay out only by Paypal so there can potentially be some reductions where international fees are involved. In anyone has difficulties with this method of payment, just PM me and I'll see if I can figure something out.. there's always alternative ways to get these things done.

Just an FYI - For whatever reason Paypal is not allowing me to send the funds through the usual 'Friends and Family' method. I have no idea why, but they've made numerous changes in the past year with people sending Friends and Family to avoid them taking their taste. I was forced to send as Goods and Services, so there might be a small percentage taken by Paypal.

Cong**** to all the winners, especially to ruedboy for finally getting that 1st place and also SteveM for great 3rd place!

This year I was, of course, after the highly coveted "Biggest difference between placements" award. And I won! No worries, you don't have to congratulate me.raf,360x360,075,t,fafafa:ca443f4786.jpg

Oooh heck nah!! Sounds like somebody's skimming a bit off the top! I think the winners need to have Moose and Rocko pay someone a little visit!

After we learned that he's now a regular user of Ayahuasca, we all should have known better... he was all over the place last night, his legs were going everywhere

So, a boxer can be suspended for using ******* and even pot, but not the psychedelic drug Ayahuasca?

I remember Vinny Paz stating that he lost a fight once because he was too high on cappuccino

He should have at least said it was the double expresso!
