Tiebreaker

If you haven’t noticed by now, the Ruckus is not a “Yay! Everybody wins! Everyone gets a trophy! Let’s all go to Mrs. Jacobs minivan and get juice boxes and cookies!” kindergarten soccer league kind of place. There is no second place. If you don’t finish with the most points, you suck and you lose. Not a whole lot of room for interpretation there – in fact there’s none. I’m not going to split donations because you “gave it a valiant effort” or “only had three points less than the winner.” You know what having three points less than the winner gets you? It gets you the title of you’re-a-big-fucking-loser. In an effort to help you avoid that title, there is JD’s 15^th Annual Roundball Ruckus Tiebreaker Extravaganza. Simply answer the questions below (ALL of the questions below) to the best of your ability, be they correct or creative, and e-mail them to me by end of day March 23^rd, 2009. If I don’t get your answers by then, you might as well call a mover because you’re on your way to Loserville. Good luck, and God bless:
