I wonder why the Grand Final rounds were cut from ten questions to six. I liked that change.[/quote]
I'll answer the 2nd part first. I'm wondering if that was an on-the-fly change since the Wocka Wocka-Motherboy match provided enough material to forego the need to balloon the final match. I highly doubt this, but since straddling the game looked like it was a seat-of-the-pants decision, who knows. (And if it wasn't a seat-of-the-pants decision, then that's some damn good post-production work.)
As for your counter to my idea, I like the ties and all, but if this is going to turn in 100K Pyramid where nearly everyone ties 3-3, there should be a change. The move to 8 at least allows more variation in scoring, which should in theory create less ties. There's also something to be said for making longer tiebreaks, but that's only part of the problem. (I know I'm probably dramatizing about 100K Pyramid, but the WSoPC learning curve is progressing similarly)
Well, Matt, I'd love to team up with you and one more person...trouble is, do you think we could find one other fortysomething who is not only moderately-attractive but is as devastatingly handsome as you and I are? hehehehehehe
How old is Brad Rutter? ;-)
