I already got a Chain shot in that I absolutely love and if it sinks I'm gonna be PO'd! :) I think it'll do good, but you know how that goes!

Congrats, Darren. It's a nice shot. I didn't vote, but probably would have scored high on it.

My Contre Jour is not doing well. Dang voters have no taste!

i must admit i thought it was a possible ribbon until i started to vote, But top ten is very nice and another start on the wall of fame on the profile. Also mean i now have increased my Avg score from 5.2 to 5.3 is a little over 3 weeks.

Just need to push it to 5.8 in 2007 so heres hoping

Well all the hopes are you guys unfortunately. My Contre-Jour started around 5.6 this morning but is down to 5.2

I'm not surprised, i like the shot but it's not a big vote winner.

On the flip side my Changes is sitting at 6.38!! Sorry it doesn't count :O(

Hey nice 8th place Darren.

for our pre-battle with DPC7 I am at 5.9 with my Anachronism shot so that's ok.

I am not even going to mention my fitness score. Let's just say if it continues this way, it may become my lowest scoring entry ever...

I had high hopes for my fitness but it is only at 5.3333. Good news is that it is slowly moving up.

At least I got two faves ... and the top score is contre jour, which counts in our little DPC7 smackdown, and the bottom is free study, which doesn't! Anachronism sitting at 5.06, and with spinning at 5.5 my average has dropped from 5.70 after pop culture ended to 5.61 ... but on the way back up ...

Hey Team ... nice scores in the last week. Even with 3 members on the bench and no smackdown challenge to shoot for, we managed a team average of 6.35415 for the week -- good enough to win most weeks in the WPL!

Last week's scores (Name: Pop C. - Spinning - Still):

Marc923: (n/a)
hipychik: (6.3763 - 5.9127 - n/a)
Brookied: ( n/a - n/a - 6.9368)
Nikolai1024: (n/a)
kevip6: (5.5902 - 5.8383 - n/a)
tooohip: (n/a)
EstimatedEyes: (6.2652 - 5.5 - n/a)

Top 4 (Brookied 6.9368; hipychik 6.3763; EstimatedEyes 6.2652; kevip6 5.8383) = 6.35415 Team Avg

Nice shooting everyone!

04/04/2007 12:49:25 PM · #142

Oh good, does that mean if I'm in the member challenge and in one of the open challenges that I can take the best score of them? I thought they used both.

If they only count the best, I feel much better this week now because my Anachronism is doing decent at 5.9xxx.

My Fitness score is another story... ;-)

You got it ... each member can only contribute one score, so we just use your best, and then only the top 4 scores from each team count. No penalties for bad scores ... so shoot early, and shoot often. :>)

good morning team, well my Contre Jour is hold at 6.3 - 6.4 so not to shabby at all. My aim is to hit an avg of over 6 per challenge for the WPL5 challenges.

anyhow its a lovely sunny morning here in Dublin, 7.44am and i am in the office already ;-( still it could be a lot worse. Now i plan on a night shot for the weekend. i can sneak that it while wifey sleeps ;-) (the photo you dirty crowed) not sure what but should be OK, Also chains will be done on Friday when i take the little fella to Howth for a day out.

see you soon

Morning Darren

I was an early starter this morning as well, got into canary wharf at 7:20am. Was a lovely drive in though with the low sun and loads of mist in the fields.

my Contre-jour has picked up to 5.44 which is not great but better then it was. frustratingly Change is on 6.36 so i could have done with a reversal of that.

I'll get a night shot over the easter weekend, i have a few ideas but i don't think i'm going to get a chance to take those. I'll definitly get a chains shot as well.
