What happened to Tata? Hope he's not refusing to publish the final table because he didn't finish 1st...

I think an electrical storm fried his modem/power/something along those lines.

Hope he is back soon, Tata is a cool cat!

Guys, I'm still alive and so sorry for the final mess. I'm writing from an outside wifi area, internet at home is still off after a series of thunderstorms that literally ruined me. Hopefully the phone line and internet will be back soon-ish, and we will complete everything. At the moment I cannot perform my usual tasks.
Thanks to everybody for the nice words - I'll be back stronger, promise!

[Tatabanya]

NC Uppercut
Baraou, close decision
Cordova, close decision

I sure as hell hope next quarter I can do a bit better! This ish is embarrassing as hell!

You made the top 14 with this last pick, my brother!

Nah, the gods of thunder didn't want me to win by picking the Rivera-Cordova draw!

Seriously - I'm not a crybaby, but if I only remember that trio of fècking judges in Matias vs Puello who stole my x5...

[Tatabanya]

With permission of other posters - I want to make a pick on behalf of Tatabanya as he is seriously inconvenienced. If those at top of board are not in favor then it can just be ignored.
If Tata gets online then he can amend as he sees fit. joe strong eco1 Chrismart BigZ44 HisExcellency Joseph Citizen Koba

So in best Tata spirit

TATABANYA
Cordova Dec close x3
Tellez KO Mid

Thank you kindly Steve!

[Tatabanya]

I said in the spirit of Tata and then didn't pick a draw.
Face palm!
What was I thinking?

I seriously doubt that the other players would have accepted my win in that case

Thanks for the ever-precious help, J
