          You've won the first two weeks. Congrats.

          Rank Pick Set Name Total Points
          1 Ramsey Picks 362 ( gjramsey - ACS)
          2 Koshko 349 (FFZ)
          3 Deity Dude Spartans 332 (ACS)
          4 GO-KU 321 (?)
          5 Dallas Dwarf Tossers 332 (Slowwhand - ACS)
          6 Calamitous Intent 337 (?)
          7 Mingapulcos 313 (Me - ACS/FFZ)
          8 Homestopher 320 (?)
          8 OldWarriors 314 (FFZ)
          10 Pickin' Kitties 321 (Walrus - FFZ)
          11 NY Slackers 303 (Chris - FFZ)

          We will be able to drop our lowest week (good if you happen to miss a week) But based on the first two weeks, gjramsey has a solid lead.

          I'm not sure who some of the players are, so if you can, please identify yourselves. Thank you.
          Keep on Civin'
          RIP rah, Tony Bogey & Baron O

            I'm thinking Calamitous Intent is Guynemer.

              Dang, I think I played the wrong games last time in Nevada.

                Tex is right. Why do the standings not match up with total points?

                  I don't understand the scoring at all. I'll just ride along.

                    Your low week doesn't count... so it makes for strange stuff early

                      That makes no sense. If my low week "doesn't count" then why is my rank #6, when my total points are actually #3?

                        I don't think you are looking at it right...

                        The "Group Points" column represents your actual points which is your total score minus your worst week to date. So in this case, with only two weeks played, the group points columrn represents your best score in the two weeks...

                        Rank Pick Set Name Group Points
                        1 Ramsey Picks 209
                        2 Koshko 203
                        3 Deity Dude Spartans 200
                        4 GO-KU 197
                        5 Dallas Dwarf Tossers 193
                        6 Calamitous Intent 192
                        7 Mingapulcos 189
                        8 Homestopher 185
                        8 OldWarriors 185
                        10 Pickin' Kitties 179
                        11 NY Slackers 171

                        Your 192 points in week one (I assume you are the Calamitous Intent) was the sixth best score that week. Since NOBODY did better in week 2 than week one, the group score didn't take anybodies week two score, and reflects the same standings as it was after week one.

                          Ahhh. Well, that's confusing as hell, but I'm having fun nevertheless.

                            I agree... the first time we played with "drop the lowest week", many of the same questions were asked. Once you get used to it, it's fine. It really helps for those that miss a week for what ever reason. It also allows for people to join in week two. So the possible confusion is a small price to pay, and keeps things interesting.

                              Now... I can know you are Calamitous Intent. I'm going to assume the Go KU is Berz... But who the heck is Homestopher?
