    Agreed. It is a mess. I also would have taken Encarnacion if he wasn't contemporary. Jake shouldn't be punished for it, but nobody else should, either. Again, I get people should read and know the rules, but if you ask and are told one thing, and then the rules say another. Bleck. I have no idea what a good solution would be.

      The only solution is to move on IMO because anything else would just create unnecessary chaos.
      If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

            So just to clarify, you knew there was an inconsistency between the stated rules and the spreadsheet, and rather than pointing out the error, you choose instead to take advantage of it twice? And you didn't mention anything about this with either pick?

              He wasn't looking at the spreadsheet.

              • Right - he was using the rules. I was using 2004 as well.

                  So you didn't notice the discrepancy?

                      This is the first I've heard 2005, I wasn't involved with any previous discussions that had 2005 as the date.
