Stage 5 Double Challenge

My employer wants to play a game. The game will take place on Saturday September 13, 2008 at 11:00 PM EST. More details on the specifics of the game will be revealed to you on Friday.

In the meantime, you must make a wager for the game. Tomorrow morning an updated list of top scores will be posted. If you have been active within the past two weeks, then the points you have accumulated to date will be posted here tomorrow.

You will have until Friday to place your wager here. All wagers must be made public in order to be official. This is an optional game, but if you want to either catch up in points or protect your lead, attendance is a must.

NOTE: No player will earn points from either the Stage Five Challenge or the Stage Five Guardian.
