Score,UserID

The rest of the field had to sit through the agony of <Switch> and <WinKing> sharing a Hallmark Moment as they praised each other. Tough luck for everyone, though, as they are backing it up by leading 2 Rankers each. <juan31> is trying to bust up the party as he shares the lead in Bonus Ranker. The only other contestant in shouting distance of the Big Two is <amw> who is challenging in #1 Ranker. 3 of our 5 0's disappeared that round, and only 2 are left, both of them courtesy of <juan>

Heh, heh just because <Switch> & I have found a little Happiness don't rain on our parade. ;)

Damn, tournament getting close. This is going to be my 13000th kibitz. Let's hope #13 K is a lucky one:

Moves Ranker (# of 1st place UNDER/OVER) - Through <Round 9>

Score,UserID

The crowd roared its approval as the last 0's on the scoreboard faded to oblivion. All 4 Rankers are tightly contested, although not by <chessmoron> or <OhioChessFan>. <WinKing> leads 2 Rankers, while <Switch> <amw> and <juan> lead 1 each. <chessmoron> is currently in negotiations with Hillary Clinton for a speaking spot at the convention for the winner of the Bonus+Moves Ranker.

It's hard to believe we're at the last round already. One round to go for fame and fortune. Can the current leaders hang on? Can someone step up with a big final round to crash the party?* Why exactly did Hillary name a pro wrestler her Vice Presidential running mate? Stay tuned for the answers. The crowd is standing and applauding the contestants as we head to the final round........
