Re: FTP Winners Choice Sat: Which would you choose?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Both times I was on TV it ended in embarrassment and deep psychological trauma. [/ QUOTE ] Trip report? [/ QUOTE ] These'll be brief. Trip 1: Noted DC area high school quiz show tournament "It's Academic." My team was the odds-on favorite. We choked in the first round. Trip 2: Went on Jeopardy and lost very, very badly to Ken Jennings and some other dude. Trip 3: Operated boom mic for David Williams foot fetish porn. Maybe I wasn't on camera, but my god the images are burned into my retinas.

Re: FTP Winners Choice Sat: Which would you choose?
I'm torn between Bellagio and Foxwoods.
Bellagio: probably the most fun, the best experience, but also expensive since you'd have to fly + Vegas will be expensive in general. Foxwoods: biggest pool, softest field and more time to practice or whatever are huge pros. Also you should check it out since you haven't been there before. Con is the drive.

Re: FTP Winners Choice Sat: Which would you choose?
Sorry to thread-hijack, but are any sites running sats to the USPC yet? If not, can we start to expect sats popping up on the majors (Stars, PP, etc) in the next few weeks?

You lost to ken jennings...so did 1000000 other people, don't feel bad. I would think it would be pretty hard just to get on that show. Well done.

[/ QUOTE ] Thanks, but it was still very crushing at the time. It's like if you're a really good golfer and you get an offer to play two random "good golfers" for several thousand dollars on national TV. Now, you know that among random "good golfers" (i.e. golfers good enough to qualify for this event) you're still good enough to have a significant edge over the field, and you're a favorite to win against a random pair. So, you're expecting to a) look good on national tv and b) win a bunch of money. Now, imagine you get to the course and you find it's set up so that it plays to pretty much none of your strengths and exploits all your weaknesses. Say, maybe you don't bomb it off the tee, and the course is absurdly long, like 9000 yards. And say you're a great putter, but the greens are really easy to read/they're really slow, so that you don't have a very big edge, if at all, over someone who is less talented at putting. OK, now imagine Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh show up to play you. I've spent too much time thinking up this analogy, but needless to say, it was disappointing.
