Because I’m not sure, and correct me if I’m wrong, but I think I see an error. I should be at 61 points with 2 picks (B. Franklin & R. Ebert).

Sorry to see Ebert go, but I’m finally in the board, was fearing that I was going to get the goose egg this year. Together with Jack Pardee I may have a chance now of a hat trick in April.

You are absolutely correct. On the spreadsheet with individual choices I have both, but neglected to give the points to you in the ranking sheet.

I regret to say I made one other error. The thirty points for Happy, that Happy will now have, were inadvertently given to another poster. I will shortly post the corrected list
