Thank you and see you next season!

Twenty-point gain in one week? I'll take it. :P

There was an error in the chart that calculates scores, so all the scores from the Columbus show were very wrong. Thunder went up about 30 something since that show. Sorry about the mix-up. But, I also changed the scoring system a bit, so all the scores are higher than what they would've been. This new system will be used from now on I think.

Congrats on the huge win though!

More information on the error from the Columbus show can be found on the IIEA website.

Well I wasn't scored in Columbus, so my 20-point gain still stands. :P Thanks.

haha. Well, I doubt that will happen again since I think I've finally got the system down.

That 20 point gain is only in this system and not in the FMA system though.

I think that is what he was getting at. :)

Time for a massive press release to get more members!
