Re: Update 21

It's only April in some parts of the country. For the rest, it's still March.

Good one.

Re: Update 21

This will make most sense to Michigan teams:
This reminds me of how at states last year a new "rule" was made that the tunnel couldn't be blocked. Our team was thrilled to finally stand a chance against 469! Unfortunately, it was a joke rule .

Re: Update 21

Well done!!! I had already started an email to alert the rest of the team. Then I noticed that the font wasn't the same and I thought "That's the first time a TU looked like that in all the years I have checking".
Good thing I didn't hit the send button before I went to the First site to get the real link.

Nice try. The "dl.dropbox.com" url that popped up in the tab was a tell tale sign.

Happy April Fools!

Re: Update 21

I was suspicious because of the dropbox url but when that was blocked (I'm writing this at school) and I checked the real site my mind was set at ease. Nice work!

Re: Update 21

Well played! You got a few of us at the Minnesota 10,000 Lakes Regional. And to add to the intrigue of the "update" Tyler Olds just announced that if you enter the promo code "Update 21" at AndyMark.com, you'll receive a "25% discount" on all your purchases today. Mark Koors is the FTA here this weekend. I'm not sure he was aware of the discount. And I'm fairly confident Andy doesn't know about it either.

April Fool everyone!! And good luck at this weekends comps!

So to answer everybody's question, no we will not see 158 points scored this year now that the rules have been changed.
