just like asking birds out for a date

[jpguywatchout]

I'm waiting to see if Belal is available...

turns out Belal is actually a sweatier, hairier synonym for Merv... had me fooled.

that's what i get for not travelling!

good luck on friday gentlemen, and at your next out-of-towner as a team together.

Tits, if you are able to get a babysitter we can shack up... if you haven't already committed to Casti.

I had an easier time finding a date to the prom.

I was also semi-committed to a Team Jorge reunion starting this Friday but luckily Merv's agent was willing to drop the mandatory "Jean Shorts" dress code and we were able to strike a deal in time.

OFA-approved Jean Shorts

Sorry JP. I owe you a beer for this one...

[garbaggio]

Man that shake side is wide open.

Taha

[SilentSam]

Not as wide open as Merv's jean shorts...

[5000 Years Old Man]

there's always the draw your partner option

Seems like the Bake side is getting more love than the Shake side.

Would you guys prefer to have 3 DYP's a month and 1 Shake n Bake or 3 DYP's a month and 1 Bring Your Partner (Open Doubles)?

[5barwarrior]

The shake side never gets any press but is the favourite for lower players. If I can make it ill be shaking it. Plus it's an easier route to the money .

[Jester]

Yeah I don't like thats its 2 different brackets that meet at the end. I feel like that defeats the purpose of charging the bakers double. Paying double for the more difficult road doesn't make much sense.

[garbaggio]

I think it makes complete sense. Otherwise it's just an OD with lower entry fees for some teams.

[Jester]

No, its not. OD = Bring Your Partner. Shake n Bake = Shake n Bake. You pay less because you have a less likely chance of winning.

[5barwarrior]

there lies the rub. I could quite easily find a good partner - Tities, but I may not make it to be one of the two best teams to get into the money. While if I were on the Shake side, I can be a big fish and make it into the finals. This format is the best for all players.

If you want we can run a straight up OD another time.

where there is a choice, you should definitely be charged more for picking your own partner. competition levels be damned. if someone doesn't wanna pay more, move to the random side.

the baked side is a godsend to folks who are tired of routinely getting paired with the newest of the newbs during DYPs.... (poor Shadi has been boned like 3-4 times in a row at DYPs... and i'm talking the newest of the newbs each time!)

...and the shake side is a godsend to folks (even pro-am shake teams) who usually don't fare well against two paired pros, but still get a fair "shake" at winning some games.

hey-o! "fair shake"... that was punny...

I'm hoping my luck changes this Friday!
