 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
With estimates, I'd have 92.98% this week, yet why do I have the feeling that on this week, that's not very good?

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
91.458%. I have a feeling that score will go up with the possible overestimations.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
The derby average is around 90%, making it super hard to distinguish yourself on this one. I went ultra safe on many, not even beating the derby ave unless actuals go my way, so I'll be happy with anything in top 100.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
By my calculations, with actuals I dropped a little to 92.26%. I wonder how I"ll place with that.

23rd. I'll take it. Just imagine if I hadn't gotten 68% on The American...

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Grats to Scott.
Eight 90% finishes on the year, unheard of accuracy this year for everyone, amazing stats.
Can't believe I missed a top 100 finish.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
I finally managed to submit before the deadline after weeks of missing the deadline (I simply cannot get the hold of the days while college is off). This is a tough week IMHO.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Great job Scott! A weekend to forget for me.  At least the bottom half saved me a bit.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Grats again Scott, closing on the top 4 like wild fire.
11th straight 80%+ finish for me, a new best, glad because I thought my derby was going to be an implosion after Friday estimates.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Scott's "cold streak" has become hot quickly.
Gopher officially moves into the lead!

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
The Virginity Hit is going to be the most interesting film to predict this week.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Wow, this yearly race will be too close to call a winner. My hot streak right now could put be back in this race, and could be in contention for that bronze.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Nice move up the charts Scott and openers win. I made it to the top of the opener chart for the year. Guess my holdovers could use some work.
Nice xiayun on being the sole perfect on Virginity Hit.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Well done, Scottie!  Great job on the openers! o.O Very little time to think things over, bad last minute changes, unreliable tracking...and that's what we get. Another week like this and we can say goodbye to the yearly race.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
You're on fire, Scott! Very impressive considering tracking has been of little help lately.
It's been a discouraging last few weeks and I, like so many others, hope to right the ship soon. September was not kind to most.
