I couldn't log on to The Bench yesterday. I was able to today but it the changes I make over the past few days were eliminated and thus my picks for aug 9 and 10 are no longer on my post. Am I out of luck or do we take a mulligan for those days?

Due to the unforeseen loss of data, we are going to reboot the contest to the last point that I had updated. That is the following:

three strikes: redsguy, mj23bullsfan, boivingp, tgutta

two strikes: anglinomics, scc76, mm1sub

one strike: 47mklsm, fatrat, sam123, scottpt99, gonavy0806, cmcjr99

no strikes: katester44, sgbt4, jaybo374, mrknicks, bonzomoretti

We will start it up again on Monday the 13thm that should give everyone a chance to get re-settled in after being off for a couple days. For those whose picks didn't get wiped clean, you can keep them, or you can select new players. Please post in your initial post as always, your next pick should just be dated August 13.

Hopefully this little hiccup won't upset anyone too much!

so if my spreadsheet is correct , based on your statement of 4 eliminated players , the last day of games you had recorded was the 6th ? (i have everything through the 8th which included 4 more eliminations and 7 other strikes , but i have no problem with resetting to the 6th - i ask only to make sure what players have already been used so i won't accidentally eliminate myself by picking a player a second time)

My stats are back through the 6th, but there are picks on the 6th that disappeared. So, If you have a player listed from the 1st to the 5th, you can't use that player. Going forward today (13th), any other player is acceptable to use. Thanks for your understanding.

works for me - but i do see that one person (bonzomoretti) has a player chosen for the 14th that he already used on the 4th.....figure he should be given a chance to fix it before then....

 

[katester44]

just so you know....o believe bonzo should have 2 strikes (cano on the 13th and for re-using jemile weeks yesterday after having already used him on the 4th .....he never adjusted his pick even though he did log in and add picks after i'd posted on the 13th that he should make the change).....

Thanks for the Heads-up but I totally missed that one...obviously! Oh well, one more strike!

 

[Jaybo374]

I think I should have a strike.

 

[cmcjr99]

I think I should have a strike.

all results from the 7th through the 12th were thrown out due to the site outage....also of note , since andy had the hit/miss results of 6th but the posts showing the picks of that day disappeared for many people , we are able to reuse players that were picked for day 6.....

Thanks for clarifying for me.

Getting down towards the end. The side bet with gonavy could come down to tonight - Posey v. Kinsler.

I think I have everything correct, if not, let me know and I will double check!

 

[katester44]

Your host says good bye and we are down to our final four - Jaybo374 is still without a strike, one has one and two have two.

This month gonavy0806 wins the sidebet with me, I will be sending him a card of his choice off my Bench user page.

I think I have everything correct, if not, let me know and I will double check!

 

[katester44]

Through this evenings games, we are down to two - each with two strikes. Jaybo374 and mrknicks each have two strikes and will go until one picks wrong.

three strikes: katester44, fatrat, anglinomics, redsguy, mj23bullsfan, boivingp, tgutta, sam123, scc76, mm1sub, bonzomoretti, 47mklsm, gonavy0806, cmcjr99, sgbt4, scottpt99

two strikes: mrknicks, jaybo374

one strike: none

no strikes: none

For the second month in a row, the last person to receive a strike, might not be the person to win it all........

I think I have everything correct, if not, let me know and I will double check!

 

[Jaybo374]

Surprised I've made it this far.

Best of luck, Mr. Knicks.
