Final JGTSI 3 Scores Posted

Here they are, the Final scores to the third annual JGTSI. I’ve contacted most teams, but there are a few whose info I don’t have handy. I still need to contact Extra Testicle, Interim Team Name, Ruby Tuesday, and Bengali Tiger. If you’re on one of those teams shoot me a line (johnny@johnnygoodtimes.com) so I can give you an invite.

As for this week, it’s Wild Card Week. If you didn’t make the cut, you’ve still got a shot. Just finish first or second this week at any quiz, and you can earn an automatic invite. Your best chances? Certainly North Star is your best chance. After that, I’d say Ugly American. Get your squad together. We’re gonna have a lot of fun next Sunday. Hope you can make it.
