Re: Prison Bowl IV @ Hunter HS, NYC (3/5/2011)

I think that a lot of the bonus problems are due to discrepancies between the number of actual tossups converted and the bonuses heard stat line (e.g.: Dorman got 16 toss-ups, and hopefully 16 bonuses, but they supposedly only heard 14 bonuses, giving them a 30+ ppb in one round).
