All quiet... let's take a look at the standings

Well, it's been so quiet here, it's about time someone posted, and I might as well be it.

After all the discussion last season about points, a very wise and even-handed system was adopted for season two awarding 4 points to a win, 3 to second place, 2 to third place, and 3 to a fourth place. We're now two games into the season, and some interesting effects have happened. As imaginable at this point, there is a tie at the top for first place between our two winners; new to the mix, though, I join them with two third place finishes that equal a first... if last year's system had been in place, I wouldn't even be in the running. Similarly, Dustin remains on the boards and only two points out of the lead with two fourth place finishes - which would have yielded nothing in last year's system as well.

Interesting to note the differences... if last year's system was in effect, it would be Michelle and Heather tied for first (2 pts. each) and Pam and Kimberly tied for next position (3rd with 1 pt. each). Instead, it's Michelle, Heather, and me tied for first (4 pts. each), Pam and Kimberly tied for next position (4th with 3 pts. each), and Dustin sneaking onto the board in 6th (2 pts.).

So, basically, the new system has made the difference between first place and no place for me, and on the board and off the board for Dustin - but no other difference so far. Heh heh heh... let me officially say I am in favor of the new system... heh heh.
