Hi Shryke -

In the Ultimate HY August, I have a feeling that Quarantine's wonderfully useful 1 million dollar week-end might have pushed me one point ahead of 00spool and put me back in the lead.

Am I just daydreaming?

Not at all, chugs.

I have you in 1st place in that round, with IMs also going to sean14307 and Mister Funktastic. Chuckski and 00spool finished 4-5, barring any major changes.

Long Live Quarantine!!!

poor choice of words.. halloween weekend was its last gasp before dying for good..

Box Office HY R3 - All Zack & Miri had to do to save leestu and sobravo was manage $10 million. Oops.

Yes! Sun estimates have Z&M at 10.1. I'm saved.

STILL UNDETERMINED: caplayer, sobravo, leestu. Only one of those three will move on, depending on the final numbers. Plugging in the estimates (which are round off to the nearest $1000), here is how the cutline looks:

41. caplayer - $327.43M
42. sobravo - $327.39M
43. leestu - $325.85M

Damn, that's close.

What are you doing to me Shryke. First you say 10M is enough when it wasn't going to get it. Now it's not enough when it is.

What does it have to do?

There's always next year!

As of now, only five players are still alive in all four tournaments:

annyonggob888 (who has still never been cut)
geezer9687 (who has also never been cut)
numbersix_99
Shryke42 (yay!)
SuperShaan

Does that mean I didn't make it past the BO FY Rd. 8 cut?

Forgive me, all. Add JackO to the preceding list. I prostrate myself before you in supplication, sir.

I'm just waiting for anny to go down in Round 9 Ultimate, and cash in his IM. Leaving me the final player to have played in all 6 tournaments, and never find myself in the elimination zone

And so what if I'm bragging, I'm freaking impressed by that.

Whew! I got scared for a second. And yes Geezer, that is a heckuva accomplishment . . .if it happens.

You should be.

No more superleagues for me. (until next year of course)

2 interesting points.

Whenever I have tried to play safe and just aim to get through without taking risks I have been eliminated. 95% with 2 weeks to go should have been safe.
In the Aug-Oct BO season it seems to me that on the slates where I haven't had HSM it has hurt me; BUT in the slates where I do have HSM it hasn't done me much good at all. HSM 3 has overtaken Semi-Pro and TDK as my personal biggest FM slate-hate. Semi-Pro because I had it, TDK because I didn't, but HSM 3 because of both?!?
