Is there any sub-rule for re-upping if a player leaves after winning? That way I could get back on the horse this coming challenge.

I'd be up for that but you aren't the only non-submitter so I'm going to stick with the original rules now. Results and new matches to follow.

Thanks

Paul

Sounds good, Paul.

Looks like the end of the s-curve for me. My score is dropping like a rock.

Congrats, nonetheless, on whooping me!

Mine is continuing to go up. Now 1.4 above my average. I am most surprised.

Dropping after a very strong start, but still nicely above my average. .699 at the moment.

Hey! My signature line is visible! It's never shown up before and I could not figure out why. Now it's there.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

That is insane... is it too early to congratulate you on your blue ribbon?

So up around the 7 mark Paul, that's outstanding! Guess if I'm getting knocked out by a ribbon winner I won't complain...too much! Mine is up again, 0.33.

If it stays up there that will probably be the record for his side challenge and a new ribbon for you! Either way, congrats on a great score!

It looks like the end of the road for me. I likely wont have an entry for Skyscapes tomorrow. Thanks for putting this together Paul.

That's a shame. I do have a Skyscape in - not an amazing one but hopefully OK. The high score on S-Curve is holding.

You've got to be kidding me! I was counting on going up against you later in this SC. Go out and shoot the Toronto skyline or something. (Does your arm hurt from being twisted?)

.6164 above at the moment.

Something may come up... but tomorrow we have rain forcasted for the entire day... not much of a skyscape.

Currently .9140 above average... this side challenge has been great for me, and I hate to finish with such a thud. Hopefully a photo presents itself.

Thanks Brad - it's a great shame you weren't able to compete in this final round; you've consistently put in high scoring images round after round.

Thanks for your interest and participation.

Steve, I hope your Skyscape is doing well (really I do!!!).

Cheers

This should be a fun challenge to watch. I like all three finalists but I have to say that it would be really cool, Paul, if you won your own challenge lol

09/13/2010 08:54:46 AM · #474

Well, I'm sure that I'm bringing up the rear on this last round. Well under my average so far. (And I haven't a clue why folks are finding it so poor)

Hope yours is doing well, Paul. It would be a shame if the winner of the last round was one who was the least amount UNDER their average.
