ldo, whoever bubbled for the championship should takeover for patton and oldtimey if they dont show up in time

[/ QUOTE ]

Nah, they could also show up next week and still compete for it. They earned their way in, and both have been regular players.

[/ QUOTE ]
didnt you say it would be nearly impossible to win if you miss a week?

[/ QUOTE ]

Nearly impossible and impossible are different. And maybe "Top 5" is a goal for some people. Who knows? Regardless, Patton4 entered, and OldTimey is staying in whether I get an entry from him or not.

I wouldn't want to play though. I haven't earned my way in.

Obv nothing personal, but it's not fair to OldTimey to eliminate at this point for the reasons I mentioned. Heck, he earned enough points in the regular season that he's not even going to be in last place after this week.

OK, game's closed - 51 players (and no OldTimey).

Reveal to follow.

A question with a nice distribution to start us off, and you hockey folks get out to the lead...

1. An exciting Winter Olympic sport

Hockey - 20
Skiing - 12
Figure Skating - 7
Ski Jumping - 4
Luge - 3
Bobsled - 2
Speed Skating - 2
Snowboarding - 1

I did think we'd see three main answers to this one, and they were the Top 3 choices. I was a bit surprised how dominant NYT was, but it is what it is.

2. A popular daily newspaper

New York Times - 33
USA Today - 13
Wall Street Journal - 3
Daily News - 1
Newsday - 1
