    Well, those scores were better than I estimated earlier, so congrats to a whole raft of people in the 60s and especially to Harps (73), jambofc (69) and John mac (68) who led the way ... annual scoring update to follow in a while.

    I decided to include 200motels after reviewing the chances for a top 5 finish and penalized from 40 points. I don't mind the odd time with our regulars, to keep this a fun contest. Will be tweaking the scoring system so that late entries will never be too late but will run out of points by day 5, that will solve the problem entirely (but keep people in the contest for number of entries).

    NOTE: This month I have dispensed with the average and its rank, now the scores are just arranged by totals and a rank is given for the contest score which is your best six scores so far. Anyone with fewer than six is not eligible in that category.

    The scoring race has tightened up this month, but Sponge Bob continues to lead with rameire and Jerry Seinfeld close behind. John Mac is now in third in the annual contest and nilhg, last year's champion, has moved up a few places too.

    Just seeing this now, can't believe I actually won a month :D

    It hasn't done too much for my overall position but I think that might be the first time all year I've even topped the Con Sensus so a nice change from my consistently dismal performance!
