It looks like I could possibly beat you in FS, and you'll most likely have me in Table, Mark

mpeters. I don't really like my Table entry... but I have entered every challenge available to me since I started... and I'm taking a risk. :)

haha--you got me last time in the FS! I won't be entering either open challenge this week unless I catch a lucky display of light or dark. :) I'll be off the grid Wed thru Sat. good luck!

Ernie, I am out of tables and probably out of lightness / darkness too!! Need to recharge after hitting the damn update button all week long.
FS is doing OK hanging around 6.1 - 6.2 , don't think it will do any better than that.

Am hoping for more suitable challenges this week.

No h2hs from animals in motion but some cracking scores. Congrats to all, especially andrewt on his new PB of 7.9503!!!

ETA: I keep forgetting to post the link.

I am not in darkness or anything other than the FS at the moment. (and as you know, you are kicking my @ss on that one. LOL) I do like the idea of motivational or de-motivational. I might try to get something in one of those.

Since you are around Andrew, how is your FS score? Still floating above 6.1?

Not above, just around. Tough crowd so far.

Then it might be interesting yet. I have slowly climbed to a 6.09. :) Of course there is usually a last day drop...

Good luck my friend!

Not even around , just went down again. Good to hear yours is climbing, maybe it will rub off on mine.

Ernie, excellent win !! I will be in Motivational.

Well I was pretty lucky. We both normally do well in the FS, and in this case neither of us did, but mine scraped it out barely. I am trying to get something together for motivational. I will let you know when I am actually in it. :)

Yeah... well not by much! We were only two places away from each other in the FS finish.

WHEW! I'm SO GLAD you're not in Table or Light. *grin*

Not going well for me.

And yeah... I know you'll get me next time... but I'm still glad for the reprieve. :)

I forgot... I did get in table. Did you beat me? I struggled with a 5.5 on a shot that I thought would do better! :(

eta: you got me! Congrats and I'll be pulling for you in the finals! :)

Yes indeed - I pronounce LydiaToo as being our first finalist!

Sit tight though Lydia - it might be a while before the others catch up with you and you've got someone else to play with.

And oh, I will get my spreadsheet updated sometime this week LOL

Wow! That's a shocker, Mark! We were really closely scored on both rounds.

Thanks for your congrats. You're a sweetie!

soulman1978, thanks for doing this. No problem with the update for me. I'm still in MAJOR shock at making it into the Final Round!

Serious shock.

It's been really fun.

Andrew, I did not make it into the "poster" challenges, sorry. I had a couple good ideas and did not have time to execute them, and then I have been working on my website. Hopefully rollover will bring something else interesting. Good luck to you in the poster challenge.

HMMM. no one used my idea for the de-motivational shots. I should have found a way to make the time. Oh well.

Good luck to all. :)
