Professors tournament wild cards (Final results posted)

Post by Bamaman »

This thread will track the wild card standings for the Professors Tournament. I hope to have each game up by late afternoon but I will put a spoiler note in the thread title.

As always, comments, critiques, and predictions are welcome. But please refrain from commenting on a game you have seen that isn’t logged on this thread.

Most likely so, but I haven’t seen an official statement confirming this.

Who would've thought that after 3 games Gautam's $1 would still be holding up? :)

Of the non-wild cards, Gautum, Lisa, and John missed out due to missing FJ. If Julia had gotten FJ right, she really regrets her wager.

I would mention John qualifies with 12,000 by betting zero but I don’t want to trigger Opus and Golf. :lol:

Already noticed and felt bad for John. He was one of my favorites. Must've sucked for him watching Friday's game unfold and it just became clearer and clearer that his bubble was about to burst. How could he have known that his pre-FJ score would be the TOP end of the wildcards?
