With an official National Weather Service heat advisory called for Atlanta, four players braved it--and brought it--on this the twentieth round of the season.
MaT, Frito, Sammy and Robby would sweat it out with MaT taking the round by posting another of his season’s best -15. Sammy, with an ace on 18 to end his regular round, would force a three way tie for second with Frito and Robby at -11. After two playoff holes, Frito would hold on to second with Sammy beating out Robby for third.
The weather was not the only thing creating a bit of heat on this round. A challenge has been made to the value of the ace pool by virtue of a player having an open ace pool IOU. Travis, though he was not in attendance, is the first player who was officially in an IOU status when an ace was hit. While the rule is clear as to what happens should a player be playing a round while in IOU status, it is not clear as to what happens should that player still be in IOU status, but not present, during a subsequent round.
The issue will be tabled at the next Rules Committee meeting as to whether Travis will be assessed the 5x ace pool IOU penalty which would bring the total ace pool winning for Sammy to $54 plus the amount collected for this round.
Messages left at the Nolan residence have not been returned as of this writing.
