September 2010 EZFT / BallOfSpray Intergalactic Cash Prize Slalom Challenge

[MAD11]

We both should be entered. I entered myself several weeks ago and Bailey yesterday. Couldn't let Darwin try to win the family prize without a fight. Plus hoping this gives my girl some motivation to ski the next few weeks. This school thing kills the skiing man.

[Horton]

Marc.... I'll check.... I have till Oct 1 to get this right.

[Chef23]

I should have added my little guy he was +4 this weekend.

[Roger]

I'm in.

[Horton]

I see ya!

[Horton]

I am going to close entrys tonight..... get in while the getting is good

[Horton]

Doing final chart  - seeing that Shane cheats

[Horton]

The field is set and entries are all final. The pot is $200 (minus my fee – at least one very good import beer or a bottle of scotch .... if you irritate me).

I can already see some possible blowouts. I am happy with a little trash talk but am saying now, NO CRYING! I will take protests based on you my data. Besides that I do not want to hear it.

[Horton]

I am now -1. That locks me into the middle of the field... not going to win with that score. A break-out score is going to be needed. I think it may take + 3 or 4 to take the 20,000 pennys

[Roger]

I skied my ranking Saturday (93.5), so I'm at zero until I come up with a break-out score. Another 3 rounder this coming weekend. Happy to contribute to whomever wins though http://www.ballofspray.com/vanillaforum/js/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cool.gif

[RichardDoane]

I almost got to a zero after this weekend's events at Hilltop, best was 103.5, had 6 rounds - 3 with The_Krista, 3 without.  Not sure what her score was, but she hit the 4 ball @ -32 and ejected nicely out the front.  Tate Lake this weekend will give another 3 rounds to "get her done" for those of us entered from the Great State of Washington.

[Horton]

With luck I will get last weekend's scores in tomarrow night.

[Than_Bogan]

Whoops -- I guess I should have entered this.  I'd be at +3.5 (mostly thanks to being in injury-recovery mode last year).  I hope somebody beats me or I'll feel really silly! /vanillaforum/js/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif

[RichardDoane]

but you're at the mercy of the "ranking list", so sometimes you just gotta wait.......

[Marco]

The reason I haven't entered any is because I am in injury recovery mode this year.  That bodes well for next year though!

[Chef23]

I was 88 on Labor day weekend for a +2.83. I skied like crap this past weekend though and came up short of my average. Is it best score or average for the month? I am done for the year now so no more chances to redeem myself.

[RichardDoane]

I thought it is best score of the month

[Chef23]

If it is best score for the month I probably won't win but at least I didn't embarrass myself.

[jdarwin]

Female Darwin had to ski in bad winds/rollers this past weekend (typical collegiate tournament).  Has one more shot this weekend.  Of course, both her scores will be from 1 round events.

[Horton]

No going to attend the GBTW?

[jdarwin]

Nope - she'll be using my LSU tickets that weekend - has her priorities in line!

(Actually, I think she heard some "horton guy" was going to be in town and elected not to come home).

[skidawg]

Scared of the goggles & poney tail

[Horton]

I get that at home

[ForrestGump]

Hell, I'm scared of the goggles and pony tail!

[D Wolters]

Posted a score last weekend for everyone to shoot at +3.75

Still skiing behind PP during practice. Was calling my ski Nellie and telling her to settle down after opening pass. Got a good start at 32 but ended up a little late at the end. Final score 92

3 rounds left in the season. Hoping to up my avg. a little more for the coming year...We'll see

[Horton]

Holy Crap. I finally got around to an up date. Dave and Lynda are killing it.

[bmiller3536]

Even though it will not change the leader, they mis-scored one of my rounds saturday, I should have a score of 105 where they scored it as 93, I am in the process of getting it changed. I just like to see a positive number next to my name

[jdarwin]

Wow - last place!!  No where to go but up.  One round in wind/rollers is not the way to win this thing!  Hopefully this weekend I can move up the list!

[Horton]

I am worried about Darwin. Ward tells me he is close to a breakout score.

I had a long talk with Carl Roberge about ski sabotage last weekend. He convinced me that it is a bad idea.

[Than_Bogan]

Thank you David for beating me so that I don't feel completely silly that I didn't enter!

[jdarwin]

JTH - don't worry - Ward must be smoking something!  And, don't listen to Carl - besides, I owe you one from swapping my liner's at the Big Dawg in 2007.

[skidawg]

I'm tellin y'all, the money is mine

[Horton]

Carl explained that once you start messing with each other's skis it is a road straight to hell. I may already be going to hell so MS does need to watch his ski.

Joe. As I recall, you skied good with your liners backwards.

[jdarwin]

"I may already be going to hell "

You're ticket's been punched.  I think we're sitting on the same row - in the cheap seats.

[ForrestGump]

Ward, the money's mine. I ran 92 buoys today and Sunday in tournament sets. I apparently cheat.  

[jlittle]

Well the money is not mine.  -1 for me this one & only weekend.  Ski well everyone.  On the other hand a buddy of mine brought me some seasoning to try from a favorite restaurant.

They put it on sweet potato frys but it looks like it could have many uses.  And pretty much every one I spoke to said they loved a squirrelly beaver.  Huh?

[D Wolters]

The doors wide open Shane, I stepped up my practice sets last week only to hurt my back again.....Went to chiro last night, today it feels like I need a return visit.

Katy didn't seem to be in my future

[ForrestGump]

damn Dave! You need the offseason in a big way! Sorry to hear you've pulled up limp again. 

[D Wolters]

Tell me about it! I do have plan's for the off season....hopefully next year will turn out good!

If you stop and think about it, everyone seems to get sidelined for some reason. Hope to get this behind me and start skiing again

[RichardDoane]

I've got one more chance this weekend to get things right, 3 rounds @ Warman Lake on Saturday.  If you haven't ever been there, www.warmanlake.com  Hopefully the live cams are working, because it's a really cool site.  The Western Regionals were there in 2005.

[Kelvin]

Dave, so is that an official scratch for this weekend or is there still some hope you can ski?

[D Wolters]

 Kelvin,

There's always hope..but for now I'm afraid so.....

Might as well make it official

[RichardDoane]

Dave - sorry to hear you've hit the "injured reserve list", hopefully it won't be for too long.  Try a good acupuncturist (another alternative if the Chiro doesn't help).   My score from the weekend of 9/12 finally posted, http://www.usawaterski.org/rankings/ScoreBks/11W032CS.HTM ,103.5, (so -.83) ties me for 9th with BMiller, so I only need 108.25 to get to the top of the pile.  That would be a score of 1/4 @ -41, totally possible if the stars will all get aligned.....  

[D Wolters]

Go for it RD

You never know when they'll align, they do align you just never know until it happens

[Chef23]

Not a terrible performance for me sitting in third. Unfortunately no opportunity to improve as our tournament season is done.

[Horton]

I moved up to 0 yesterday

[RichardDoane]

I watched Matt McCuddy run 2@-39, scoring 104 inthe 2nd round today at the WarmanLake Finale, gets hima +4

[mattm]

It appears I didn't ski quite as bad in 2010 as I had hoped.  My average was 110.67 which doesn't get me da money.  However it did feel good to break out of a slump and post a good score.

[MAD11]

Should be interesting. The little Austin family member ran 2@35 today with a score of 86. Horton and Dawg (among many others BOS faithful) were there to witness.  She asked if she would get one of those a giant checks from BOS if she won for photos on the ride home from Shreveport. No matter who wins  that would be cool.

[Roger]

I should be + .5 as I ran 94 buoys last weekend in our Record 3rnd at Okeeheelee.
