Do they elect a new Captain?

He wasn't our highest scorer. ;-)

We'll just elect a new "captain" if needed. He couldn't really vote the other team members' images higher even if he wanted to because we don't tell each other which images are ours. I would assume that any DQ'd images would be taken into account as Scott normally does.

Well if he didnt know who has what picture, well then it is no problem.

I just hope this doesnt have to much effect on the competition and I really hope Mag 7 don't win a second win becouse of disqualification.

That would really suck :)

In the past when there has been a DQ, Scott has replaced the score with a DQ and 0.0000 score. The rules allow the next highest score to be the score used, if there is one.

I would imagine that Scott will do the same for the WPL2. I doubt he would do the same for WPL (1). It would take too much time, the playoffs could not be redone if the teams changed, and it was for fun besides.

20D will be down one player who can't submit the rest of the series, much like the rest of us who have lost a player for one reason or another. (No malice intended.)

We will go on.

I am not trying to stir up shit, but it is a question that has to be raised due to this being a competition.

Please be very careful how you construe your statements in regard to other members of the 20D team we would not like to see any derogatory or defamatory remarks.

It appears that all of the other people who were involved in this were not from the 20D team.

I am very aware of that and I didnt say that you where, but maybe you where more affected by the ghost votes then many becouse you are in the same team as he is.

Now it doesnt seem that way as scalvert explained to me but hey, one has to consider that if he was cheating for himself, why wouldnt he do the same for the team he is competeing with.

I did not say that any of the 20D team where involved and I am not very pleased that you are saying so.

I just hope this whole deal doesnt leave a trail of shit behind it.

because as scalvert has stated, none of the 20D members knew the other's entries. if rikki didn't know what the other entries were, he couldn't direct his minions to vote on them.

so how could he be cheating for the team if he didn't know the team's entries?

i think it's best to just leave this here...
