  At Fink Park. Cleared pads sunshine on all the pads except #3  some what.
Little ice under the snow on all 7 had the most. Hopefully the sun will help.
Otherwise not bad.

Thanks John!.  League this Sunday at 10:00 AM come out for some fun in the sun. Talks some Bears Packers smack. At least there will be one Packer fan on hand.

I hope to make it, had a family commitment last week.

If a lot of Packer fans make it out (I'm not one of them) and there's an equal number, it could be perversely amusing to make Bear/Packer teams instead of high/low....

[Tom McManus]

Ace pool starts at $31.00.  We tee off right around 10:00. Come on out, everyone is welcome. Should be a heatwave tomorrow compared to the last couple of days.

An inspection of last weeks league results shows an unlikely result - only over 50 year old ("Grandmaster") players showed up. This struck me as an unlikely outcome. But how unlikely? Say there is a pool of 24 players for league with each player having a probability of showing up for league of 40% (suggesting an average attendance of about 10 players). Now consider that there are 6 Grandmaster players in that pool. So the combined probability of 18 under 50 players not going and 6 over 50 players going to league last Sunday is something like one out of 2 million. If I change the probability of Tom McManus showing up for league to 100%, it is still about 1 in a million. The Bears should have been that lucky.

That is some funny stuff.  We will try again tomorrow at Fink.

Hey Tom - I actually won the CTP for not last place against Jonathan as opposed to what you have above. Thanks

[Tom McManus]

Anyone coming out this week?

[JakeJacobs]

Fighting off a cold...won't be doing Channahon tomorrow to get better. Hope to do Winter League at Fink but I'll have to wait and see. I'll let you know asap. Condition report?

[acedeucelefty]

I'll be in Orlando, so sadly I won't be able to join you and the two feet of snow.  I might get a nice 70 degree round in down there though.

But I'll see all of the Illinois players that make their way over for Cracked Plastic the week after.

Won't be at league this week.

[tacimala]

Tom my tentative plan is to come out on Sunday but I am playing the ice bowl tomorrow and if I'm super tired from that, probably wouldn't make it out. I won't be heartbroken if you cancel this week of league.

[JCleaveland]

Tom : I'm still out

Okay, Tom, I won't be making it to Fink tomorrow if you're still going. Giving myself one more day of rest from a cold. Wished I coulda been up for Channahon today. Have fun wherever! ~Jake
