In Oklahoma City yesterday, Winstonm (a regular BBO player and regular contributor the Forums...and teaches, too) playing with Horndog, won the top flight of the Knockouts. I was told by Winston that it was a complete rout.....the final total for the finals was......................+2. Congratulations to Winston Munn and Dave Horner...and their two teammates I'm afraid I don't know.

I care about the friends I have made on BBO. Also, I am extremely concerned about the environment/ ecology/ wildlife/ the little planet that we call Earth. How much more of the world's habitat and food supply for animals do we plan on destroying. How many more wetlands are we going to drain, fill, and build on? How many more sand dunes are we going to knock down in the interests of high-rise hotels or luxury homes?

I'm impressed.

Super well done, you two. Congrats.

Thats really great!

Knocking off the top team in a Bracket I is awesome. You have to keep your head for all 24 boards and you are playing good teams until the end - usually pros.

Keep it up dude :)
