Midway thru day 3 of part II, and I'm way out of it. I haven't compiled anybody's scores, but I wouldn't doubt if I've locked up last place. :cry:

So, I'm intrigued by the scoring system of part II, did some calculating and came up with the following:

You can go 4-15 in part 2 and score 70 points (19, 18, 17, and 16) and have more points than someone who went 11-8; 1 + 2 +... + 11 = 66. And you can go 11-8 (19 + 18 +...+ 9) with 154 points and beat someone 17-2 (1 + 2 +...+ 17) with 153 points. :sneak:

Yeah, I'm a little bored, but curious.

Are the standings posted anywhere yet?

Menolly · **Posted:** Fri Jan 08, 2010 7:53 am

No...
not yet
I will try to tabulate them tomorrow.
I've been very run down this week.
My apologies.

Speaking only for me....take your time Menoly! No need to stress over a picks contest. Hope you feel better soon and get your energy back!

That's fine by me as well...just checking. No hurry.

danlo · **Posted:** Fri Jan 08, 2010 9:31 pm

I'm sure my picks really sucked, so please do take your time!

Menolly · **Posted:** Fri Jan 08, 2010 11:13 pm

Thanks guys.
I slept a lot intermittently today, and like some other projects I attempted this week, as soon as I tried to focus on them I tended to drift off again. I managed to get the others out of the way finally today, so can turn my attention solely on compiling results tomorrow. Well, other than staying on top of Beorn to get school assignments done.

So, I am hoping tomorrow...

((((((((((menolly))))))))))

take your time and feel better!

Still in the midst of compiling results.

Found we had a couple of entries where the rankings were either repeated, not ranked at all, or a winner was not selected.
PMs were sent, asking to please put bowl winners out of their heads (if they knew) and to send me corrected info.
Once I receive that, I should be ready to start posting.

I have already heard back from several, so hopefully tomorrow.

I contemplated compiling the results to help out & once I started going thru them, well, I thought 'I hope Menolly has a system - I can't figure this out!'
It is a daunting task, so take your time - in the grand scheme, this is a minor item.
