This is what I was dealing with.

When dealing with a dessert from the Cheesecake Factory, one does not trifle with numbers and scoring.


B Man asks:

Dear Comish what value if any do the Full Size Numbers Game inserts have?

And the Commissioner answers:

Full Size Numbers Game inserts are a 1:2 pack card.  They will have a value of +2.

B Man also asks:

Ditto for Full Size SPs?

And the Commissioner answers:

Are Full Size cards #301-350 short printed?  Based on 2015, they aren't.  No ruling at this time.  Try again later.

boots~ asks:

Pulled a box loader (+4) of Rizzo.  Would I get a bonus since he's on the favorite player list?

And the Commissioner answers:

Most definitely.  I am going to rule that box loaders are 'hit' cards, therefore in this case you'd get the 1.7x multiplier.  If your Rizzo is BL-AR, then you'd get +4 for the box loader x 1.7 for being on the FP list, equaling 6.8 points.

--David asks:

I pulled a FSRA - Full-sized Relic of a comedian... Seriously... What are the points for relics that aren't ball players?

And the Commissioner answers:

The MISC section of the rules states: +5 Full-Size Relics Version A 1:24 (#FSRA-xxx)  (Jersey / Pants / Bat / etc)  (Hit Card - divide by 2 if Yankee)  To be safe, I'd go with that one.

boots~ commented:

I like this commish way more than Bud Selig!

And the Commissioner replied:

A.  Who wouldn't?   B. Thanks.  C. Flattery is not a bribe substitute.

Jedi Jeff asks:

Does the Fav Player bonus point translate into the Numbers insert?  Would I get the 2 bonus points because I pulled a Numbers Game of Kershaw?

And the Commissioner answers:

Fair question.  I didn't specifically detail that one out.  So it would be +2 for Numbers Game card, +2 for Favorite Player.  4 points total.

The Commissioner is going on a three day family vacation.  I'll be back to answer your questions on Wednesday.  Maybe sooner but don't hold your breath.

I'll be folding these answers into the official 2016 Rules page later.

Letters, we get letters...

And so it begins.

Questions about scoring are starting to roll in.  For those of you who are new to Gint-A-Cuffs, this is nothing new.  Be aware that the good Commissioner can't immediately answer all the questions that come pouring in due to poor explanations of scoring on his part.  Give him time.

I haven't made rulings on these, but I did want to get them out so you wouldn't think I'm a total slacker.

B Man asks:

Dear Comish what value if any do the Full Size Numbers Game inserts have?

And the Commissioner answers:

I'm at dinner.  I'll think about it.

B Man also asks:

Ditto for Full Size SPs?

And the Commissioner answers:

Still at dinner.

boots~ asks:

Pulled a box loader(+4) of Rizzo. Would I get a bonus since he's on the favorite player list?

And the Commissioner answers:

Dessert is coming up soon.  Please hold.

--David asks:

I pulled a FSRA - Full-sized Relic of a comedian... Seriously... What are the points for relics that aren't ball players?

And the Commissioner answers:

Seriously?  The second round of dessert is due.  Come on, man.

I'll be mulling these over some TUMS and will have answers for you shortly.

I'm on the edge of my seat

Great art work by Spankee.

And what should arrive at my house earlier this week?

The good folks at Topps sent two hobby boxes to be used as prizes for this year's Gint-A-Cuffs.

So, we're now live.  Start ripping, showing, and scoring.

Yeah, I'm sure that I missed something.  Please bring it to my attention.

All the standard stuff applies.  No cheating.  No more participants will be allowed to enter.  The Favorite Players have been locked.  Bribes are gladly accepted.  Please see the rules.

Go.
