Emily Jones Spring 16

The Rangers get an early jump on 2016 contest, which is bad news for an unsuspecting Emily who was soaked by Elvis and Rougned. Not coming in the middle of a postgame interview, Emily was unprepared to escape the amush and ended up with a totally drenched dress, hopefully the water stayed out of the purse. Looks like the Rangers are ready to keep the Royals from winning in back to back years. Just over a month until opening day!

As the season starts, will Elvis and Rougned continue to find Emily or will it revert back to the second half of last year where she laid down the law and kept them from soaking her? Will this spring lead give her a run at Cooler Cup or will she spend the year dodging and win the Escape Artist? (After watching a lot of escapes the second half of 2015, I'm naming her the favorite to win the Escape Artist award) Lets play ball!

+2 her own cooler

+4 spring training
-3 not on field, most likely staged- wonder if they did more than one take? An outakes/bloopers video of this one would make it Hall of Fame worthy

2016 Scoring

First a preview of 2016:

additions to scoring:
To encourage creativity, added new damage bonus, would still need to involve cooler as well.

+ up to 5 damage points for additional substance (pie, Nationals chocolate, Dodgers baby powder)

As a "thank you" of sorts to those who acknowledge the coolers and respond to queries or provide additional details, like "dress survived" or "cold wet plane ride"

+ up to 3 points to reporter for a retweet or some sort of mention or some additional commentary on their soaking 

Along that line, adding a second possible point to post cooler selfie to differentiate high quality aftermath shots, maybe better document damage, wet shoes, hair, pants, back.
+1 or +2 for post cooler selfie/reaction

Escape artist clauses added, we'll call this the #SalvySplash clause. Goldberg dodged alot but fell victim a lot too. This is more intended to recognize the reporter who is able to consistently stay clear throughout the year and avoid a big one.

Reporter not eligible if scored a Hall of Fame cooler during the year or if in Top 5 Individuals
