Or do like Marty suggested, take your correct percentage, times 5 picks per race
and extrapolate your approximate current score ...

That is WAAAAAAAAAAAY better than what I suggested--nice work,
WW! You saw a neat solution that lets him keep playin' in this
part of the game. Well done!

... then put a minus sign before
your score, let us call you Mikey for a few weeks and all will be forgiven.

Forgiven, but not forgotten.

One of the rules is "Everything you say will be taken down
and used against you." ;o)

I finally got time to read some others, and commented on
John's picks he told me to go pick on someone else and I happened by
yours! So, it's McCoy's fault!

Hey, now, that's going to cost you some MVM points. No making
excuses...

Cheating is nascar.

Going off on a tangent here, but one of the columnists had a good
point a few weeks back: why do we call breaking a rule "cheating"
in NASCAR? When an offensive lineman grabs ahold of a linebacker
blitzing, that's breaking the rules, but we don't call it cheating.
We just give him his 15 yard penalty and get on with the next play.

That'd work. Or take your first five for each week. Or, since
we've had 10 races, take the most recent 50 (or the first 50,
altho as I recall Mike was having a bit of a hard time wording
his guesses on the early picks, so the more recent ones likely
have a better score).

Or just play for the fun of it, and forget the score :-)

I don't think any of us are in this game for the money
it brings in. :-P

<gasp!> you mean there is NO money?
