 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
11th place. My slump has ended. I should gain ground on the yearly chart on everyone ranked higher than me except for xiayun (who ranked 3rd this week).

16th place. Acceptable but could have been much better.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Crazy ranks for FaerieGirl (who robbed me of #1 in their 1st game). Congrats xia... at least a few of us did well.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
I'd forgotten how hard it is to predict the Memorial Day weekend box office. Holds can be crazy, as can openings. I just now put in my first predictions for the derby. Normally I change it 5 or more times before settling on numbers. I'm just going to leave these alone though. It's giving me a headache.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
What a score The Hungarian posted!  But good to see a long time player finally getting the first win. Congrats to Casey! And congrats to BJ for grabbing the yearly lead!

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
We just don't have the time, and for the past few months it's been too much work trying to work with our schedules. And it's no fun when it becomes work. It's unlikely we'll be playing the for the remainder of this year.

I definitely agree it's not fun when you're busy, because you know you can't do enough research or analysis to be satisfied with your predictions.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Yeah, we'd normally spend about 3 hours every thursday night (morning for Omni) doing our predictions together, and for the pat few months it hasn't even been 1 hour, not even close really.
I'm not sure about Omni, but I might play solo if I can find time around my new work schedule and everything.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Good job Scott, Ross and shawman!
And I just realized Leonardo da Vinci is back playing derby again. That's wonderful. Reminded me all the old timers.

How come I'm not in the Top 10 all time again? I've played a game in the last three weeks, and I've played over 10 overall. I have about an 83% lifetime.

#3 for the year now, with the gap now closing even tighter between the top two players.
