No outside sources allowed. Just take your best guess.

CORRECTED to increase gsabc's score. No idea why I wrote down 6 when it should have been 10. I'm sorry about that. I hope everyone else is checking to make sure I'm accurate because I'm not checking. The standings thread will have the corrected totals.

No problem. Meant to put a smiley in the message to you. And it's not like there's any monetary value involved.
Would that we could ask for a second check of results from TPTB re: Happy Cards ...

The usual suspects are all busy in another thread, or _TPTB_ would have shown up by now to answer this.
"Hmmm, let me check...nope, we still don't want you!"
