I am not sure how it works really.
If I enter grey and you do to then that will be one point to someone.
If I dont enter free study and you do then does that mean it will be your free study against my open challenge or does it mean you automatically will get the point for the free study and the opens will be the tie or do you have to enter one of the opens?
SoulMan1978 could use your help on this question? |
Agnes I treat the FS completely separately from the opens. If you choose not to enter FS, then sempermarine's shot (assuming he enters) won't count for him at all apart from averages. Likewise if you enter the open challenges and sempermarine doesn't your open shot will only count towards your average. In that event, it wouldn't make any difference whether his FS did better or worse than your open shot, neither of you would score for either.
Does that sort of make sense? lol |

Hey I just looked at the standings and noticed that I might have a chance to carry on as one of the highest ranked losers, Ive never been so happy to loose before:)
Here's hoping that I move on that would be great.
MAX! |

I've been looking at the losers chart and thinking your score might just sneak in as the 4th highest loser, looking at the current results I'm hoping the bigger hitters manage to win their rounds. I'm just glad to be taking part :) |

I think I'm hosed in Round 2, it'll take a few small miracles to get past that round.

No way... you're quite capable of winning this matchup. |

Well, in case it is needed, I have my FS in and it is going to rock!!
I am hoping to be through to the next round with my Sound entry though. It is presently at 6.60 ;) |

Ok so what you are saying is that we both must enter the same challenge for it to count? I think I got if that is what you mean. |

Shoot me if I'm wrong but yes, and the the open challenges count as one so if you had entered silence and your opponent entered sound you'd have been H2H in that challenge.

Exactly. But if a match is tied or if no one is at 2 yet by the end of the calendar month's matches, then your avg during all challenges that month will be the deciding factor. |

Thank you Judi, as long as it does not nose dive in the last few days. Thanks for a great head to head. Especially in the Best Of 2008 challenge which was really fun.
We may meet again if you are in the top 4 averages of the non-winners. :) |

| sempermarine I am in "end" now and I will be in "grey". I thought I would be in free study but my picture didnt come out the way I wanted it. I was hoping to get my zoom lens today to but Ritz Camera is out of them which put a crush to my free study plans. I am like you. Wanting to enter every challenge. The hardest challenge for me is not to enter one and I think this will be my first time. hahaha. |

| @Mark, unless you messed up in the FS it looks like you'll take this 2-1, I have swopped my FS shot several times and whilst its still early days am sub 5 so guess I picked the wrong one lol. |

I entered a free study shot and it's not doing good, but I like it. I'm struggling with my "Grey" shot. I have several, but I don't think they are challenge worthy. (like this ever mattered to me in the past) As far as the "begin" and "end" challenges are concerned I haven't even thought about them yet. But most likely I'll have something. |

Go here and click on round 2. Right now there is only one round 2 match setup.

My grey shot is in. It was NOT easy tho. hahaha. I am not in free study but I am in "end". Nevermind. I mean I am in "begin". I wasnt to happy with my end picture so I went with my begin idea instead. Just fyi. You will see me on the scores threads - good bad or ugly - hahah.

lol Mark, a bad knees won't stop you shooting ;)
However, heres a thought for Barry, tomorrow my average will be about 5.8 and a slim chance of being a highest loser. My FS shot looks like taking that down to 5.5 or 5.6 so a self dq would give me a better chance of going through to round 2. I won't self dq btw but the door is open. |

I just entered my Grey shot. So it looks like we have our first head to head match. My Free study is doing much better than this morning. Getting a 6.5 and climbing. This should be fun...See you in the scoring thread. |

Right, worked through the tree scores and, unless I'm much mistaken, there were no head-to-heads today. Averages have changed interestingly though...

Woohoo, my average is going WAY down after Free Study, Sound, and especially Gray (4.1ish range). Good thing I don't have a H2H for any of these.
