Bad week for us FBBO guys

 

[super-bee_ski]

So:
I don't understand the scoring guys,
Forgive me.

If a person picks a winner, does that not count for points?
Or does the most points accumulated accrue with picking the qualifiers?

Bad week for us FBBO guys

LOL - yeah. I noticed there was no FBBO top picker noted in oc's post. Then I saw that our top picker must have been Ski....with "no change". LOL - the rest of us went backwards.

Ski - I apologize for my delay in getting back to you.
Event scoring is a combination of points accumulated by your individual class picks by qualifying position and round wins. Then there are bonus points for top event E.T. and Speed and for any National Records set in either E.T. or Speed.
Check post #1 for all of the details.

Actually the top FBBO picker for the GatorNationals was Gpuller with 127.5 points.
Here are the Gators event points for the rest of the FBBO players:
121.0 - super-bee_ski
120.0 - Nick2317
116.0 - Budnicks
105.0 - 64BEL
87.5 - alsant
80.0 - fishmens67

To get your event point total, simply subtract your accumulated points from the previous event from your new point total.
Let me know if you have any questions.
