The extreme highs of the Grambling State game and extreme lows of the Ohio State game have kept anyone from running away with the contest.

It's not to late to start playing and win!

I suggest this be graded on a curve. Questions were too hard.

The needing exact answers really keeps the scores low.

The Southern game got a respectable amount of correct answers.

It is hard to get points, when you have to get the player and the number points, rebounds or assists right.

Billy Beane: It's not that hard, Scott. Tell him, Wash.
Ron Washington: It's incredibly hard.
Billy Beane: Hey, anything worth doing is. And we're gonna teach you.

Also it didn't seem to be a problem in the Southern game.  A game with normal numbers.

Yep, what a bunch of whiners.

They also have no idea what the tabulating of this contest takes up timewise.

Couldn't agree more, PTM. Kinda reminds me about guys bitchin' about a blow job or complainin' about a free steak dinner...

I'm just stating the facts.  Needing exact answers is keeping the scores low.

It ain't horse shoes or hand grenades. Besides, the guy running the contest gets to make the rules. Personally, I like the precision but I agree the wrinkle of the double construct does eliminate a lot of tallies. It is important to bear in mind that all answers are nothing more than SWAGS and that victories are pretty hollow. Unless you are Sultan, that is.
