This week's contest is named "Fall Classic" by Matt Gaffney

The answer to this week's contest is A World Series Winning team.

(so if you don't get the meta do you play the odds or your favorite team


Fall Classic spreadsheet

Good luck with the grid and the meta

Ashore. Fortunately straightforward, since I need to go pick up my little one at school... Thought this was pretty impressively constructed.

Good luck, fellow Muggles!

On the shore - nice and easy, thankfully without too much baseball knowledge necessary.

On the beach! I'll have my usual G & T, thanks.
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta! :shock:
