The WFT's the SHL players and send downs do give a chance to earn extra uncapped TPE. Also if you do PBP's and/or win in fantasy you get extra uncapped TPE. I was pretty neck and neck with most people in my class but I'm getting left behind by fantasy winners and pbp doers, and I try to whore TPE every other way.

So it is a thing, you tend to see people separate in a few seasons.

Also good luck on the flight, I always pop a Xanax so I don't freak out!
