Scores Through Week 2 of the JGTSI
Here are our scores after two weeks, and things are starting to get really interesting. Teams in the yellow are the ones that would earn an invite if the season ended today. There are also 8 teams tied for 15th, so 1 of them would make the cut. Looks like the physical challenge situation is off the hook this summer, as 4 teams scored the maximum 10 points and another scored 8. There is a new challenge up now, with a maximum of 8 points this week. Looks like the physical challenges are going to play a big part in who finishes Top 10, and who earns an invite to rep Philly in this challenge against Denver on August 7th at National Mechanics. If you have not played or not scored yet, it’s ok. You are still in the hunt, as all you’ll need is a few physical challenge points and a Top 3 finish this week to get right back into the thick of things. But I wouldn’t wait too much longer to get your act together. We kick off week 3 on Tuesday…Sex, Drugs, and Rock ‘n’ Roll Week.
