Maybe not, still a long way to go, plenty of time left to turn it around, and my point was a guy who won this thing once before deserves another crack at it

This contest has been a disaster

It's not supposed to be easy, that's the whole point, it should be a contest that's hard to win, what would be the point if half the guys who entered won it, the fact that a small percentage of guys win is what makes it a challenge

Why does JK invite these guys to this challenge when
1) 90% can't read or understand the rules

2) they don't understand the rules

3) they lose

Not the point of you being off to the bad start. We've seen breakdowns, we've seen rallies. The rules are the red card that just need to be consistently considered. It's the cappers responsibility not to forget.

Based on a favor in the beginning from a long time respected forum member you were allowed a courtesy in jeopardy otherwise you'd be behind .So thank your lucky stars and I'm just going to sit back and watch. I never said you missed a play.

other than the fact I didn't even see a message from him. I just got lucky that I checked EOG before I went to bed. Pure luck I didn't get DQ'ed based on missing first 2 plays

Wouldn't have been DQ'ed even after missing the first 2 days. Just would have been charged with a loss for every day missed after March 1.

Like I said. Just sitting back and watching.

Not even a ticking clock I posted was good enough for a reminder if the thread was even glanced at. All good, respect once again tarnished.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. As a rule 8, it is the cappers responsibility to make a play, and a lot more often than not. And when not, it is counted as a loss.

Carry on. Just watching from here.

Simple rules yet we still have controversy, at times.

Last month, CHEAP tried the ol' double play.

No go.

This month, TIP fell asleep at the start of the month and stayed asleep through the first 10 days of the month.

We have a great group of guys here and if anyone wants a chance to compete in this space, feel free to shoot me a request via private message.

Both CHEAP and TIP have performed well in EOG's Best Bet thread and I appreciate their contributions to the forum.

Of course, COMPTRBOB is my favorite contributor - a smart, no-nonsense type - and JIMMY adds his humor and good nature to the mix.

One final note: I have asked KANE on several occasions to take part in the exercise and my offer has been politely rejected every time.

I will keep trying.
