August-October Draft League (Division A)

[empire13]

The Face of Love

Not sure about my slate. Don't think I have anywhere near enough box office and Top 5 potential with only four wide releases. Have to hope that my IMDB and PTA can keep me above the cut line.

[silversurfer19]

I think it looks like it could be a very close league, at least on the face of things. I don't think anyone has that totally bankable slate (though having Cloudy surely gives Chien the edge). Each slate has big question marks, be it too many PTA movies, too few, having a hemorrhage of a film or just a movies that won't particularly win a lot of points. We'll see what happens, but this should be an interesting league.

[Shrykespeare]

Boosh, do you have Chien's final pick?

[Buscemi]

I do not. His two second choices for Rounds 6 & 7 have been taken.

[silversurfer19]

Just spoke to Chien on Facebook. He selects I Give It A Year for his last pick.

Now let's start getting some Top 5 and BO points thanks to Rush and Cloudy 2 !

[Shrykespeare]

Yikes, this is close. And remember, this is not final:

T1. Chien, 15.5 pts
T1. Surfer, 15.5 pts
3. leestu, 15 pts
4. Shryke, 13.5 pts
5. tranny, 13 pts

That may be the closest top-to-bottom finish we've ever had.

[Chienfantome]

Wow, this is close. And unexpected.
