Wetin I do u puskin; u go put me for death group; to compete with people like krall3, timbuktu14

I HEREBY WITHDRAW THIS RULE (12 POINT ACCA AUTOMATIC QUALIFICATION).
ALL OTHER RULES CONCERNING THE TOURNAMENT STILL APPLIES.

16. Time for submission of pick is 0700 - 2359GMT. ANY PICK dropped after the deadline time MUST either be quoted by your opponent or one of the Judges/Moderators of the tourney otherwise it is counted as invalid.

puskin:
Well......fellow PUNTERS/CONTESTANTS.

I have received numerous PMs concerning the SPECIAL RULE (12 point ACCA).....and also contestants have also aired their views on the punting thread.
Many have given valid reasons why this rule ain't fair and shouldn't hold while some have just simply stated reasons which am yet to understand or cannot understand at the moment.

Well, in the interest of fairness to all contestants and seeing that an overwhelming majority of the contestants do not want this rule.
