I can't believe Sprout got a full house from this same score for all games gimmick, i think it's pure laziness but hey it seems to work.

Where's Mckay?

I have to admit that when I saw sprout's posting, I thought: 'Why has he thrown in the when he was still in with a good chance?' It seemed a suicidal strategy. I still don't think it'll win him the mat, but by my arithmetic it's brought him level with me with the last day to go, with Bottletop one point behind.

Oh, and McKay is right above you in the thread.
