Contest Clarifications and thoughts going forward . . .

[Real Quiet]

Here is my take on the year ending contest. We have always ended on the week before the Breeders Cup. Plenilune expertly tally's the points portion and it is my opinion that the year long totals should include the Breeders Cup since it is the biggest day of the year. Why do we not award points and bonus points on that day? The Gallivan Cup should stand on its own but a year long contest for totals should last all year. I have always added the Breeders Cup to the yearly totals right or wrong. If our contest year ends prior to the BC and ROI results are finished the week prior then there is no point even doing the ROI the last week. Summing it up, my opinion is there should be a YEAR long total point winner, an ROI winner and a Gallivan Cup winner and no monthly bonus points for ROI (and I have calculation reasons which have nothing to do with who picks what). Thanks all.
