Today the Committee announced that Captain Alex Yates prevailed over Captain Buck Williams in a contest of knowledge about Pineapple Cup historical trivia. The captains answered five identical questions and a tiebreaking question concerning historical fact and trivia about the Pineapple Cup. Captain Yates successfully answered two questions, while Captain Buck only successfully answered one. The first question proved to be the easiest, while the last proved to be the hardest. By virtue of his triumph, Captain Yates has the option to select whether he wants to pick first overall in the draft or to defer to the second spot in the snaked draft.
The Committee was proud of the captains hard work in preparing for the draft: "Once we finally got the captains on the phone, it was immediately apparent that both captains had prepared for this moment. Each got off to a fast start by answering the first question correctly. However, the Committee was somewhat befuddled by the captains unfamiliarity with the Supa Six, a fantastic game for 5 people over 36 holes. Nevertheless, from the moment the intensive questioning began, both captains displayed poise in answering the tough questions. We think this poise will pay dividends during the championship proper. Congratulations goes out to Captain Yates. It will certainly be interesting to see which draft spot he chooses."

I think Yates will go ahead w/the first pick. I think he'll select a sleeper though.
ReplyDeleteIt is a little disheartening that this post states that neither captain was familiar with the SUPA SIX.....one of the building blocks of what would be become the Pineapple Cup. We can't know where we're going without first studying where we've been.
