So obviously no grand prize winner, but this just gives a reason to play again whenever the next FH is ready to fly.  If by some chance SpaceX releases imagery that can confirm where in relation to the ASDS the booster hit, I'll be sending a set of rocket floaties to the corner picker which was closest, even though it did not survive impact, just because the whole launch was that amazing.

So who won?  There was a brief video by spacex that shows the landing attempt.

Nobody won because the center core completely missed the barge.

Any debris that scattered across the deck does not count.

Yes noone won the primary award, but the water landig bonus was to be determined after video evidence was available which corner it hit closest.

Here is the relevant quote from the rules (emphasis mine)...
Quote
if you pick a water square, and it winds up floating in one piece you will receive a pair of rocket floaties for your efforts!
Definitely didn’t stay in one piece, so no winner.

Heliodriver, et al.......

Given the extreme and unique nature of the FH Arabsat 6A center core landing location, are we up for a new Landing BINGO for this launch?
