Looks like the first smackdown will come down to contre jour and fitness.

After Anachronism: GoldenEye's got the lead with a 5.3608 average based on 4 scores. DPC7 holding close at 5.2949, but only two scores in.

Go GoldenEye!

That is lookin' good Freda ... but we've got a bit of a jump coming too, so don't be countin your winnings just yet ...

no worries on the fitness score there tooohip; we've already got your 5.9xx from Anachronism to work with and can only use one score per member anyway. Based on earlier posts, looks like we'll have at least three 6.xxxx's to add to that for a pretty nice score to SMACK DPC7 with!

Great shooting all around, with a few PBs and top 10s ... great way for both teams to start the season (though not as good for us, I admit)

Hey Dennis, I remember one year the 49ers lost every preseason game, and then went on to win the super bowl. No worries.

i didnt manage to get my shots in so you might be smacking us down... we shall see.

I was let down by someone who promised to let me shoot some of their old british motorcycles, had a great idea, turned up at his workshop with lights, all dressed up in rocker gear only to find the place locked... I left a note asking him to call today please and as yet... no call

good luck guys

Congrats DPC7. Very high scores overall.

I got a mediocre night shot it. I see an Expert Landscape was announced. Too bad that wasn't just one week later when I'll be out in the Death Valley area.

Boo hoo. ;-)
