If you'd like to make a cigar donation for the troops before the season ends, that would be great! PM me for my addy.

OK- if you want to do this like last year:

Send a fiver to the person ahead of you in the standings once they are finalized. If you can't figure out who that is, post here and say so. Winner doesn't have to give up any smokes.

If you have a different idea, just lmk!

Thanks all for playing- it does make the season more interesting- I find it a great excuse to pay more attention to the games than I would otherwise!

Just going to throw this out there to see if it sticks. What do you guys think if the teams that did not make the playoffs send a premium fiver to the team that won. Shilala would get 20 sticks. Then the teams that lost in the first round of the playoffs send a fiver to the team that got second. Predators would get 10 sticks. Then the team that 4th would send a 5er to the team that got 3rd. mkarnold's mashers would get 5 sticks. Just my idea on how fantasy payouts should take place.

Would certainly work for me!

Tell you what, if you'll send my winnings to the troops I'll call it square:-)
[Reply]

I am OK with this also. The only thing we would need to account for is if there are none CA members in the 12 team mix here. Hugh?

Andy we are going to need an addy :-)

I won, right?
I checked out to see what we decided to do last week because Andy mentioned a prize to me, and I had just plain forgot what we agreed on. We agreed on a premium fiver and troop fiver(less Hugh's shaving guys). At least most guys did and nobody disagreed, not that anyone would. It's the way we always do this stuff.
We never discussed a second place at all, so let's toss that idea.

I'd like for all the winnings to go to Andy, and I'll be sending him a real nice premium fiver myself. I told Hugh that last week, and wanted it to be a surprise for Andy, but he screwed it up by already asking that his winnings go to the troops.
Andy always gives and gives and gives, I think we should whole-heartedly refuse his request and see to it that he enjoys being the guy getting the love on this one. He has certainly earned it, by anyone's view.

On the troop sticks, I have a thought.
Rather than everyone send two packages, why not send the troop sticks along with Andy's fiver, and he can gather and forward them to Hugh? It'd save everyone some shipping, and I'll even pay for Andy's shipping cost if he's willing to do that.
Makes everyone a winner. :-)

That's my thoughts on it, but Hugh should have the final word. He's the commish. I'm 100% with Hugh, whatever he ultimately decides.
But I'm still sending Andy smokes. And I have his address, I do believe. :-)

Send them to HotReds:-)
[Reply]

Enid's not that big ... I bet if we address them as Cigars for Andy they would be delivered to the proper house :-)

OK- originally one thought was for the lower to send a fiver to the higher, but that was only one option. People seem to be agreeable to Mark's idea. However, there were FOUR first round losers, so let's tweak a bit. OK, here it goes( and I reckon the amounts may vary a bit because of the non CA members:

Iowa Cub Fan, Elderboy, Jenks Anejo, Ninja- send your fiver to blugill(per Scott)

Burners, jledou and hotreds send fivers to blugill

Tampa Torpedos and Base Burglars send fivers to MKArnold.

So we theoretically have a 20, 15, 10 pay-out.

I was also one of the first round losers. Not sure if I was thought of as one of the non-forum teams, but I do owe cigars to someone......
[Reply]

You were the "Burners," right? Your sticks go to Andy- blugill.
[Reply]

Big congrats to Scott on the win! That's a good copy on the cigars to Andy...need an address if someone could send me a PM please:-)
[Reply]

same here
[Reply]

Thanks, sorry I haven't been on the board as much as usual. I will PM him and get those out....
[Reply]

I also need an address for my sticks.

I also owe an extra 5 troop sticks for Mark kicking my ass on the Heyward/Gomez bet. :-)
[Reply]

I sent a PM to Andy to see if he wanted any of the sticks or if they should all go to Hugh for the troops.
[Reply]

Where do I send mine? Addy please?
[Reply]

Not finding you, coach. What was your team name?
[Reply]

According to the list, yours are going to Mark (mkarnold1). You would think since he's my brother I would know his address. Sadly I don't.
