What Jay didn't mention was that 494 and 70 stretched themselves even further by fronting team 1213 $4k in order for them to make the initial payment deadline. They went further yet to organize a raffle where the two teams worked together/separate to pay back the Martians' kitty. Neither 70 nor 1213 would have been in the hunt this year without 494.
Maybe next year 1213 will wise up and ask to borrow Jay instead of the cash.
