Dave, unfortunately Melbourne isn't a part of the exercise and I didn't think about it when making my personal travel plans. I think I dropped the ball here.

Based on that, I think he was still over there when this place started up, but I can't find a thread about it here (either).
Thanks for looking, Rass. I'll go ahead and start a new thread, DTP be damned.

I picked up the following today: American Express, Juno Therapeutics and Kythera Bio.
Kythera bought out by Allergan for $75/share this morning.

I was in at $45/share, resulting in a nice 64% gain.

Run diff = (My teams runs scored) - (my teams runs allowed)

Whoever has a higher result wins the tie breaker.

I'm just throwing ideas out there...I'm perfectly fine with SNBB total. It's definitely easier to keep track.
