Again, if anyone has any queries, just let me know.

I'm just wondering about the percentage we need to play to stay in...

Noticing some are sitting out a week here and there and I'm debating sitting out tomorrow.

I hate to say I've never really understood the scoring here :eek: :D but are we penalized if we miss a day?

Thanks Brock, and thanks for running it. :)

you can do as you please MMSC....

Thanks dear but in other contests I'm in, you have to play a certain number so I'm just checking.....

90 percent of races played? 70?

Are there deductions?

Thanks!

I havent really thought about it to be honest. It's a 99% fun contest...

:rolleyes:

I have an idea to make it double points for Super Thursday and treble points for the World Cup night to keep everyone (me mainly!!!!) still chasing the title.. if there is anyone that disagrees, ill leave it as it is, but if not, Ill make the changes..

Agree!

Just doing up the scores and WOW - 6 Winners 4/1, 11/4, 20-1!!!!, 3/10, 8/13 and 8/15... Brilliant Job.....

STANDINGS AFTER DAY 9: Again, very sorry for the delay.. Ive updated the 2 previous meetings and added them( or subtracted them) together. Anyway, some great scoring by a few.. well done lads.. Plus thanks to MMSC for the administrative help ;-)
