I thought I put all my points on Adam, my overall pick, but apparently I didn’t, so I got the default instead. It got me points; I finished a respectable 7th out of 25.

I put all my points on Kris last week and Adam this week…but considering my overall pick was Adam, I really had no chance.

Congrats **infinitii**!

Thanks **Hal** for setting this up.
