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.

I have been playing for ten years and after all these years I still have no clue how to score a points contest nor have I ever tried to. All I know is if the totals are low I have a punchers chance.

Just an observation. Tom runs another contest and it hasn't posted since the Breeders Cup. He didn't post Saturday at another contest either. Cruzan did so maybe he was just busy.

I went over the scores of the 2 players in question and you were right, Don, in your calculations in the first place. In race 9, you gave Ruffian 5 points and I gave her only three. I missed that she had the win and the place and gave her the points for the win only. So now all is right with the world and we can have a peaceful Thanksgiving, if we dare. I'm still thinking about whether I should join my family in Little Rock or not. I have been isolating, but they haven't and not much way to do that with kids. I know for a fact my eldest grandson has been home from the University of Arkansas twice because of roommates that came down with Covid. So close to the vaccine becoming a reality, I might better forego Turkey Day.

Cal, that is a painful choice that you are describing, but it sounds like a wise one. Most of this year has been simply awful, but with good judgment and perhaps a bit of good fortune, we can safely make it to the time when an effective vaccine will provide added safety and protection.
Our Thanksgiving will be very different this year and it saddens me a lot. Our house has always been the place where everyone gathered for the Thanksgiving feast, gradually expanding to the long adult's table and the place where all the fun stuff happens, the kid's table. I have had the pleasure of opening the wine, offering some banal toast and then in my best Dumbledore imitation, saying, "Let the feast...begin" Our daughters and we have decided to be cautious and not have our traditional gathering. Our youngest grandson has been tasked with figuring out a way to have a virtual gathering [perhaps by zoom], but I will miss the hugs and the chaos of passing all of the many platters and even the mock argument over the final slice of pie. This too shall pass.

I saw HockeyDad40 play the card for part of the BC contest. I sent him a PM to see if he wanted to get with us on the weekly contests. Anybody here know him? We could use more players.
