If i see 4 finish in a row, and they all are 1sts, thats a gran slam. To me anyways. I claim it. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] Sure its somewhat more probable with many games in sets, the ITMs are all bunched up. But its still super rare, for me anyways.

Im a singles hitter, man ....usually one out of a set is a 1st. SOme sets are doubles, odd triple...homerun.

[img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Is getting 4 in a row, 3 in a row, 2in a row on the same day considered hitting for the cycle? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Hitting the cycle is 1st 2nd 3rd 4th in a row!

No way. If 3,4,5,6 is a slam, then a 4-tabler should count it if he gets 3,4 in one set and 1,2 in the next.

I'm putting my foot down here: it's only a slam for an 8-tabler if he gets 1,2,3,4 or 5,6,7,8.

It's a grand slam if it's 4 in a row, but this is only if it is counted by when a tourney is started. I'm sure some people will see 4 wins in a row and think they got a grand slam but if someone is 8 tabling in a set then this logic would be incorrect. Also I think this can only count if it's in the same session

zing. it has to be 4 in a row, doesnt matter when they are started. back to back to back to back. holla

Well, the pure GS is a set of 4 for 1st and not match 3, 4 of the first pack plus match 1,2 of the 2nd set. Also, if you count it like you propose and you start 8 games within a couple of minutes, chances are that your 4 1sts take longest and thus finish consecutively.

Everyone who disagrees with me on this is a cheater, a commie, and of questionable sexual orientation.

Hope this clarifies things.

1-4, 5-8. Don't listen to those that wish to dilute the meaning of a Grand Slam. We don't need their kiddie pool Grand Slams.

It has to be 1,2,3,4 or 5,6,7,8. I six-table. Is there some sort of um... cricket or something analogy I can use? ...not that it will ever happen.

I don't think it has been discussed, but I think you can call getting all 1sts in a set of 1-tabling a "home run."
