BTW, I ran a theoretical spreadsheet to see what’s what. If a player consistently finishes first in a 10,000 player tournament, he gets a score of 100. If a player consistently finishes last in a 10,000 player tournament, he gets a score of 0. Thus we know what the upper and lower limits of this scoring system are. ---

I haven’t been there in a little bit. Probably need to be aired out. Umm, between the Cheetos and whatnot, you may want to run the exhaust fan for a while before moving in. ---
