We ALMOST had one in the Elims (and had the match ended mid match, I think we would have). Also, Paul Copioli tried to claim the a prize for a Triple Tortuga as Emcee at that same tournament, arguing that I saw it with my own eyes so no video was necessary. He had a point but I say, nay. The rules require a link, my personal retinas viewing the match not withstanding. And actually, even watching it live, I am a little skeptical -- I will need to review the tape to see if 88 just stopped driving or were they really tortugad (it was an amazing thing even if it wasn't a 3T).
Sooo.... there are still Triple Tortuga prizes to be awarded. Share the link and win a gift card.

I was the outerworks ref for this match and am a mentor for 88. My feeling is that this wasn't a 3T. 88 was desperately trying to push their disabled alliance mate through the defense and had no choice but to try to push forward in order to get the breach. They came within a fraction of an inch of doing so. This was all in the waning seconds of the match. Had there been more time in the match, I think 88 could have been able to get themselves back out of the defense. It was close, though.
