by ashkor87 Has Shnaider pulled out?
by texasniteowl apparently yes. I knew she was on the entry list, so I actually posted to trade her in to my team but then when I saw the draw she was not in it so I cancelled that trade. I'm in the central time zone US and saw the draw either Saturday night or early Sunday morning?
