Need 1 more from the red group because we all did a first round pick from there.

Seriously, June 11 is your birthday?

Me too!

Happy Birthday, mine is #67, how about you?

Proof of the Birthday problem

If there are 23 people in a group, the chances of two people sharing a birthday are more than 50%

WILDCARD PICKS
> All players put back into one list based on OGW Rankings

TLO Idaho; Andrew Novak & J.T. Poston

A lot of copy-and-pasting has gone into sorting out these wildcards using the rankings from 19th May when the cut-off for qualification was made. It is quite possible this has led to someone called Kim or otherwise being missed out of the contest. No corruption or deception is intended, and it will have to be "tough titties" if it has occurred in error.

TOURNAMENT RULES
> Your score is taken from your best 3 performing players.
> If you don't get 3 players through to the weekend, you will allocated replacements from the bottom of the leaderboard in order of ranking i.e. lowest seed gets the lowest placed unique player from the leaderboard in the order its displayed (for example somebody in 60th spot or tied 60th as long as that player is not already in our player lists)
> Playoff strokes do not count, unless a unique situation occurs where we are tied at the top of our own leaderboard and the play-off can be used as a tie-break.
> If there is a tie at any other point, the protagonist with the highest scoring player wins - countback will go to 2nd and 3rd highest scoring player. The scoreboard will sort this tie-breaker out automatically throughout the tournament.

SCOREBOARD sponsored by Yahoo
Great News, them horrible bastards at ESPN with their constant tweaking of their leaderboard has led to me choosing Yahoo (link ) as our Leaderboard Partner for this contest and hope to sign a 3 year contract if it works better.

So my leaderboard is already working, your players are on there and it should be good from the very first stroke of the day at around 4am on the West Coast, fingers crossed.

GOOD LUCK PROTAGONISTS.

And Tom Kim is called Tom Kim for this one.
