# of lead changes looks most popular so far! I'm surprised that there have been none through the series! Will that trend continue?

Damn you mark don't talk about Taco Bell. Scotland doesn't even have good authentic Mexican food, let alone crappy but fantastic Mexican fast food!

@ryanj. Don't complain. Mexican food is even worse here in Malaysia.

Scotland doesn't have a Taco Bell? I thought even third world countries have Taco Bells. Gotta love beef that comes out of a tube.

@mrprfkt. Hey Mark? What is the rule in the event that they don't resume play? Does the market stay open overnight?

As this was unexpected, going to suspend until I can get feedback from other Admins and SU's. Want to be fair, but it looks like the delay may take quite a while, if they even continue tonight. We're 1 inning away from the predetermined suspend time.

Too bad this couldn't go a little longer. I was glad to see the wagers and interest in these.

Suspended for review/feedback...

The game has been officially postponed until tomorrow. For that reason, I'm suspending until we (Admins and SU's) figure out how to best handle these questions and how this change affects current wagers.
Thanks for everyone's patience...guess this is one of the complications of the in-plays.
