Handicapping Year in Review, Awards and Other notes

[DonGuido]

First off CONGRATS to JolyB for the win in The Breeders Cup Points Contest and grabbing the 2020 Gallivan Cup.

Congrats to Cal828 also for top honors in the Points contest. He smoked all of us for the entire year and although DG put in a good effort towards the end, there was no catching our Points Leader/Winner!

Real Quiet will put his year end review of the ROI contest in eloquent fashion either here our in a new thread. Thanks to RQ and Plenilune for all of their effort in giving up their time to show us each how well or poorly we all did in each contest. And thanks to JB for stepping in during my occasional absents to keep the machine well oiled.

Thanks so much to everyone for playing this year with it's many real life challenges. It has been a year to remember and forget, if we can, in many ways. It should allow us to appreciate "normality" more when it ever comes back. This is a great place and a nice escape for many. It kinda cleanses our minds, frustrates them at times and recharges them as we go through the contest cards most every week.

As customary, after the BC Contest, there will be no contest next Saturday so we can all get ready for the 2020-2021 handicapping year to start on November 21.

Any thoughts, ideas and suggestions for next year, please post below the line with the thought in mind that any "changes" will be considered but that said, "if it ain't broke don't fix".
