    Not being a sours fan I am definitely not in that group...just hoping I can match up with someone.

    I will say that if you put your beer in this only to try and land a few specific beers you would probably have better luck just making an offer in the ISO:FT forum. When I added my beer to this I fully expected to let it go.

    I'm anxious for Sunday. If there are a bunch of trades as a result of this what is the protocol for shipping a whale? I generally insure packages for $99 because it's below the increased price threshold. What would you insure a wooden hell for? If it were to get damaged as part of a shipping chain, what happens? Im definitely ahead of myself but figure we have time to discuss while we await the rankings.

    5 submissions still pending. A few things have matched already in tight loops (A<->B) and (A->B->C->)

    2 submissions still pending but amazingly my spreadsheet is SUPER efficient at assigning targets...
    the vast majority of the matching is already complete :slight_smile:
    Which means... once I have the final two submissions I should be able to crank out targets by mid-week

    Some interesting facts....
    roughly half of the beers did not match

    only 4 people unranked their own beer
    the longest chain so far is 5 people (surprising... I expected it to be longer!)
    some people are gaining 10+ ranking positions!

    Final rankings will be published soon!
