2012 Summer Hiatus Challenge -- Round 1, Day 5

Post by DadofTwins »

Here is Day 5.

Scoreboard link: http://shc2012.gregorygauthier.com/standings.php

In consideration of some players having religious obligations that keep them from playing on Saturdays and/or Sundays, Day 6 always goes up early. Look for "tomorrow's" game some time around 6 p.m. CDT.

I'm looking at the Instant Replay thread to see if there needs to be an RQ on Day 4, and if there's a way to do one without breaking the Scoring Program. Look for something on that early next week.

Here we go.
