ZJones gets my vote for being the rig closest to what shooting for! A very admirable crop this month, though!

[ZJones]

ATL ZJ, congrats on the win (we all knew you would anyway) but there's no way I'm catching up now.

[ATL ZJ]

Ha, no one's chickens have been counted yet- there are still a couple days left! Good to see some friendly competitive spirit.

IIRC Action Fab was down by 6 or so at one point last month with only a couple days left.
