Don, thanks very much for stepping up and doing the points scoring. Congrats to you on winning a very low scoring event. [Who picked that track anyway??] Alli, it's great to see you again and well done on your second place finish after a bit of a layoff.

For what it's worth and maybe not much, I did the calculations too and came up with almost identical results except I had Joly and Ruffian tied for third which would give RQ the Super spot, but I too make math errors and sometimes miss a score.

Do the results factor in the write in ballots?

I have our legal team looking into it. Lets hope we get this certified before the next contest. If it involved the winner that would be a REAL problem!!!

I'm sure that our legal team [perhaps the firm of Dewey, Cheatham and Howe?] has more than enough to keep them busy without spending time on this investigation. Let's have as good a Thanksgiving as we all can and think about our next contest instead.

I fired Dewey for insubordination and hired a lady lawyer, Ima Gunna, to take his place. She's much more decisive than Dewey was. And yes, lets all have a fun, safe and responsible Thanksgiving!!!

It is fun to sow discord and make baseless claims as we've seen in the world at large, but in this case, I imagine that I probably just misinterpreted the rules or didn't count a score. Probably just an error on my part and if I was guessing, it might be an exacta score, that seems to be where I make the most errors. Not that big a deal. As some would say "what's in it for me?" other than just curious how to score things right. I'll go over the scores in question and if I can't find the error, I'll send them to you Don and you can school me on it unless you are so busy with Turkey day preparations, that you can't get to it.
