Dania "Winter Knockout" Rules

Dania "Winter Knockout" Rumble starts Friday - Sharpen your pencils
Re(2): Here's another one

Certainly not gospel, Bennett. They're just cobbling together stuff they can find on the internet (accurate or not).

Still, the capabilities of analyzing requests and formulating sometimes-complex resonses (accurate or not) is impressive.

And, just for kicks, I asked "Who is the best jai-alai player in Seattle?" I got back:
There is no “best jai‑alai player in Seattle,” because Seattle has no active jai‑alai scene at all.
All current U.S. professional jai‑alai is in Florida, specifically Dania Beach and Miami. Seattle hasn’t had a fronton or organized amateur program in decades, and no local players are recognized in the sport’s competitive rankings.
Why there’s no Seattle contender
• Jai‑alai in the U.S. has contracted to just two year‑round frontons, both in Florida.
• The sport never had a major presence in the Pacific Northwest.
• No Seattle‑based players appear in any modern rosters, amateur circuits, or World Jai‑Alai League materials.
So who would be the “best” if we stretch the definition?
If you mean the best jai‑alai player ever mentioned in Seattle media, the only notable name that pops up is Joey Cornblit, because The Seattle Times once ran an AP wire story about his retirement. But he never played in Seattle — he was a Miami legend.
Still, impressive, and in this case, accurate.
