There’s no Time Like the Present to Win a Spot to the NHC…or BCBC or Flo-Cal Faceoff or Monmouth Pick Your Prize or the Gotham Challenge. Those Qualifiers Plus Big Cash Tourneys and Last Chance Play-In to SA February Highlight Four-Day “Dual Holiday” Weekend

I’m hard pressed to think of another weekend that contains two holidays. That’s the case this weekend with Valentine’s Day on Friday and Presidents Day on Monday. We’ll have featured-tourney action all four days, and should you win any of the games, your heart will undoubtedly skip a beat as the band strikes up “Hail to the Chief”.

Jim Murphy Racks Up Eight Winners on What was Otherwise a “Cushy” Saturday; Tom Cooper Earns Four Tournament Seats in Three Qualifiers (Weekend Recap January 31-February 2)

It was all part of a weekend that saw some excellent individual performances and (especially on Sunday) some fantastic finishes.

Such prayers are sometimes answered (Vinatieri), sometimes not (Norwood). So it is with Pick & Prays as well, and we certainly have a lot of those going on this weekend. Let’s start with Friday.

Jim Trepinski Captures Second Consecutive Exacta Tourney; Ryan Flanders Scores Friday Hat Trick; Brendan Fay First to Qualify for The BIG One (Weekend Recap January 24-26)

When it’s a “live-format” weekend like last weekend was, the day most likely to provide notable individual performances is Friday…which is always reserved for Pick & Prays so some of you can keep your mind on your work. (Picking winners is nice, but those bi-weekly paychecks are sure things!) This, indeed, proved to be the case last Friday, courtesy of Ryan Flanders.

We wish them all luck…and we hope they’re good at multi-tasking because there’s a lot going on her this weekend as well.
