WTG Red, awesome picks.

Hey Guys, I feel like a total a$$. I want to make a public apology to scott21. Somehow I managed to completely miss his selections when calculating the results after Chicago. Scott finished the race in 6th Place with a total of 263 points. Please accept my apology Scott. I guess I picked a bad week to stop sniffing glue.

I will repost the running totals for this week as well as re-upload the excel spreadsheets to reflect scott's participation.
Thanks guys
