With the scoreless tie still in tact, Maglio League officials decided to suspend the game and restart at a later date. At a post-game emergency meeting, which included a 1988 photograph of former league commissioner Jill Frank, the following dates were considered finalists for the completion of the game:
July 6
July 7 (100th anniversary of the attack on Turkey Drumstick Hill)
January 11, 2021
March 22, 2021 (full-size cardboard cut out of Bernie Zipper to first 10,000 fans)
Both teams had chances to end the scoreless tie.
Anne Fungus' fadeaway jumper at the 24:00 minute mark was eaten by a rhinoceros, Toby Fungus ran onto a different basketball court and converted a lay up with 12 minutes to play that wasn't counted, and Hillary Blunch's windmill dunk while holding a roast beef on wheat with just under three minutes to play also didn't count since she wasn't an original participant in the game.
"I'm still going to use that in my arbitration case," said Blunch, 37 in oatmeal.
Fans in attendance were hoping to see a basket as that would've automatically given each a free drawing of a peanut from local business Pete's Peanuts. One fan, Janice Maglio, wife of former disgraced politician Joseph Maglio II, stapled herself to the court in protest.
"I'm not getting the staple remover until I get my peanut drawing," said Janice, whose head is made of iceberg lettuce.
