Default Points and ROI Totals for 2024 and 2025 Contest Year . . .

Starting off way behind, not the best sign but I have had cataract eye surgery recently . . . that's a good excuse for now anyway?!

JolyB starts the year off hot as a pistol with a very comfortable lead, so far. The rest is pretty to figure out.

BTW, my eye correction is for distance so this computer typing is definitely a challange until I get my prescrption readers and that won't happene until I get my other eye fixed and all healed up. Expect some typos but that's nothing new for me.


1: 63 - JolyB
2: 28 - Rea Quiet
3: 16 -DonGuido
16 - Indian Hemp
16 - Digger
6: 13 - Cal828
7: 11 - Alli
8: 7 - Ruffian

Thanks for playing y'all!!!

Don, thank you very much for tabulating these totals in spite of the challenges you have been confronting. We don't take enough time to recognize the efforts you have put in to keep our small but enthusiastic band of handicappers functioning. Hope the eye surgeries continue to be successful.
