Tyler won Season 6 by hanging around, hanging around. A strategy that seems to be doing him well. That and the fact that we didn’t break out a new deck of cards. With 3 rings in six seasons it’s hard to contest he is a threat. Unless you are Al and you believe the first season didn’t count!
Also, mark down April 25th as the day for the final table. This is no longer negotiable so if you can’t make it there is nothing I can do.
We also need to confirm April 18th or 25th as the final table so be prepared to commit to one of those days by next week.
George ended up taking out both “The Chaser” and “The Chaser’s Son” in one hand which prompted some discussion about how the points would be divided. i thought that because I had the second best hand that I should get a higher finish in the standings. On the other hand my dad had more chips going into the hand than I did. I did some research online and found this:
“When two people are simultaneously eliminated from a tournament, whoever has the higher chip count at the start of the hand would be awarded the higher place.”

That is good enough for me. I thought we did something different in the past but could be mistaken. This change has now been reflected in the rules (18).
Invites will be going out this week for Spite Club Season 6. Right now we are looking at Thursday February 12, 2009 as the start date. This season will take place at Joel’s place. No other major rule changes have been announced.
