    And according to the picture in posts 18 and 39 the third box that @Slack picked was the winner.

    Not going anywhere with it at all. I just thought that it was interesting that one of the last boxes picked was the big winner. @Slack obviously didn't know this when he was trying to help fill the pool for everyone.

    There are very few rules in this BIF and @Slack clearly broke them. Disqualification is the only reasonable punishment for such an act.....









    ...just kidding. Feel free to punish him with more beer. No deflecting to other members either. It's a risk you take when signing up for this BIF. Ask the guy who won 2 last year.. I wonder if he got through it all in a year lol

    In a more serious note. I've never had someone take a 3rd square. For numbers sake you may have to send a box @Slack . Unless theres another way to evenly distribute the winnings that I'm just too busy at work to think of at the moment.

    It should work if you just consider Slack as sending to himself?
    24 boxes to each of the other 2 winners and 47 to Slack?

    Can't remember if it was last year or the year before, but I hit squares here, another site and then hit on some other similar BIF...my wife was getting tired of coming home to 2-3 boxes a day. I started labeling each bottle/can to remember who to thank.

    It was a tough couple months...but I survived.

    Total crap shoot. A gal in my office had the same thing happen this year when trying to finish out a second pool. She grabbed a second square and is now $1k richer.

    I can ship.

    Or not ship.

    Whatever is easiest for everyone. I am good either way!

    Alright, Everyone has been assigned to one of the three winners. To help simplify and keep things more organized I started several group messages that provides everyone with a target.

    I encourage @Joenap419, @Slack and @kreg02 to post any styles they may like or dislike in each group so that people can get a good idea on what to send. Everyone but @zekeman17 picked 2 squares. So remember, your just sending 1 box with 88oz (minimum) to your target, not 2 separate boxes to 2 different winners.

    Deadline for shipping is February 28th. If you cant meet that, please at least keep us posted in the group messages. My activity on BA has basically dwindled down to just this BIF and i dont feel like tracking boxes through the 2021 preseason like I did last year.

    Thanks again to everyone for joining this year, and Congrats once again to our 3 winners!

    I actually meant to go back and take a second square if there was trouble filling up the pool but I lost track of this thread and forgot. Pretty happy about that right now because I might have picked the square that @Slack took. I would be a real shame if I got 48 boxes of beer in the mail and then my wife took 1/2 of them when she divorced me because I got 48 boxes of beer in the mail. Bullet dodged.

    Lastly, if @Joenap419 , @Slack and @kreg02 could post haul pics in here with proper shout outs that would be awesome. My favorite part of this (since i never win) is seeing all the beer that is sent out.

    Thanks fellas!

    All, I didn’t realize that I had effed up on this pool until today. @Coorsy ’s post did register and I had to go back re-read the rules which limit 2 squares per person. This is completely on me as I wanted to fill out the pool with full intention of sending out three boxes of goodies. I know this post definitely late and I can only claim mea culpa and offer up a couple of things:

    I can completely back out of the winnings
    I can split the winnings
    anyone that does not want to ship to me can opt out
    I can send beers (aka trade) back to those who ship to me

    I really don’t want to leave a bad taste in anyone’s mouth and want to make it right

    Naw, none of that. You won all those beers. You could have picked 20 squares and not hit. Just luck of the draw.
