angryGreatness 96 Posted January 12, 2012 I would think Maas would get an obituary over Janklow or Bartow, but I can see that I was wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,527 Posted January 19, 2012 This thread already has more views than last year's DDP thread and we're only 19 days into 2012. That's my useful contribution for the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themaninblack 2,112 Posted January 24, 2012 Listen up folks, The teams and scoreboard will hopefully be up tonight. The scores though will only reflect the hits mentioned in the first email. The next email\update will then be at the weekend... EDIT: Unfortunately, I am still having trouble generating the pages 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Estuarian Float 97 Posted January 25, 2012 We're patient MiB. By the way.. I was just wondering how much money the game runner at stiffs.com makes. So I did some calculations. Entry is $15 each and 1404 teams were submitted to the January 2012 invitational. 15 x 1404 = 21,060. Now, $3,875 of that is given away as prize money to the top competitors. That left a profit of $17,185 for 2012's main game at Stiffs. And there are other games that go on during the year which means many more $15 entries. (Im joining the February game.) Whoever runs Stiffs has the coolest job... But DDP will always be my favorite. ...I hope this wasnt an inappropriate time to post this... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Flag 84 Posted February 13, 2012 Great stuff. Disappointed to miss out on a potential unique with Brabham there, though I guess he's not actually dead yet so it doesn't matter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
