Why were B & E on their own 317 list for "The Joker's Wild?"

At the end of TJW, after the consolation prizes were read, they show that scrolling list of the companies that offered prizes. I, too, remember seeing B&E listed as well.

'K. I've just never seen it called a 317 before.

Yep it went over my head too.

Were they referring to a home game?

EDIT: ...or perhaps the money?

It wouldn't have anything to do with a home game. They were listed on "Play the Percentages" too.

Was it done for tax purposes? If they itemized the cash giveaways as a business expense, maybe it could fall into something retrievable at the end of the year.

Lord knows if there were some weird ass-backwards way to save or make more money that B&E would be the ones to take advantage, even if it appeared a bit disingenuous.

So getting back to the question, what DOES 317 mean?

JasonA1 · « **Reply #10 on:** September 27, 2006, 04:52:09 PM »

Har. Anyway, it's called a "317 list" because the list is in compliance with U.S. Code Title 47 Section 317. Chris Clementson posted the relevant chunk of it to ATGS, found at this link.
