Not complainin’ but curious… why wasn’t I included in the scoring? My entry was at 3:15 P.M. Not that it matters. Really. I’m used to bein’ ignored. It’s nuttin’ time and several years of intensive therapy won’t cure, I’m sure. 😃

Weren’t these supposed to be counted together?

Also, with this change I count 119 matches for myself, which suggests my score should have been 321.30. What am I missing?

Dammit. I meant to go back and re-check that I got everyone’s entries. I’ll rescore it with you in it.

I didn’t mean to ignore you, I promise! I’m jes’ a stoopit ol’ airhead.

I screwed up the numbering somewhere - there should be 38.

Ah - I see it. Swampy you’re 7th.

Sheesh! My brain is broken!
