There has been a change 2 groups due to the number of drop-outs:
In the NFL Group,
the winner of Golden Grillz/nny27nyj69njn18 wins the groups and the loser finishes runner-up; both advance
In the NCAAF Group,
coin flip tie breaker has Vetern Newbie winning the group, and coin flip tie breaker has Jeter2010 finishing runner-up; both advance
The NFL and NCAAF Groups are finished so you 4 no longer need to TD until the brackets are announced.
The bracket play will start when Leg 3 finishes, and no earlier than July 19.

Rules state that if you were not challenged, then you would then challenge him. Neither was done, and a forfeit was given.

If stone and redsoxpedroia do not get their TD underway by tomorrow night, it will be considered a 0-0 draw.
