Ok, we've always set the points totals, ending the year, at the weekeend before Breeders Cup to determine the top ten going for the Gallivan Cup Challenge. I know RQ has included BC weekend in the year's ROI totals to crown that contest champ.

We can change and include the points for BC cards if you like to determine Points Contest Champ. No biggie to me. And this year, I believe all that are playing make the cut for the Gallivan Cup, although some have only played spordically. Do we set it at a minimum contest played?

Questions:
1. Do we include points scores for the BC Card in points totals for the year?
2. Do put a minimum points contests played to qualify for the Cup contest? If so what is it 50% or more to qualify.

Lets me know.
Thanks

With so few of us playing it doesn't seem to make much of a difference which way we handle it. I wish we could encourage more participants to make all of this meaningful.

Our contest fiscal year runs from whenever we pick up after the BC (we usually take at least one week off) through the next BC. So, if there is an annual championship for either Points or ROI, it makes sense to include the points from the BC card as the last contest. The cutoff just before the BC is only necessary to determine who is eligible to compete for the Gallivan Cup (if only there were more players to make that meaningful).

I don't see any need to have a minimum number of contests played requirement. If a player accumulates enough points to be in the top 10, that should be enough.

(Sorry to clutter up the Points Picks thread with these comments.)

Need to post early, and probably won't get back to check scratches tomorrow. We're having our three youngest grandchildren over for the weekend while our daughter and her husband go away for their anniversary, so there won't be much time for the horses. Probably won't be much time for sleep either..

R1: 7-5-6-2-1
R2: 4-3-1-2-5
R3: 10-3-2-1-12
R4: 6-2-10-9-4
R5: 8-5-9-6-4
R6: 7-5-2-12-6
R7: 7-1-5-12-3
R8: 3-4-7-5-2
R9: 11-7-9-10-1
R10: 6-1-4-9-10

Good luck to all and thank you to Plen for scoring.
