Update: Sources are now saying Chris GoLightly was disqualified from the top 24 for having an old expired contract.  You are allowed to have contracts, you just have to let it be known, which he did not.  Is this a double standard?  Big Mike Lynche was almost disqualified because his father blabbed to a local [...]
