Well, it's very early in the contest and every single one of these scores so far could be dropped in the grand scheme of things, but I figured I would go ahead and start updating the summary.

For now I'm not dropping any scores, I'm simply sorting everyone who has entered 3 contests, then sorting those that have entered 2 contests and then sorting everyone that has only entered 1 contest at the end.

You can see that when you start dropping some bad guesses the advantage actually swings to those that may have a 1 bad guess but their other 2 guesses are pretty close like nontypcial sitting there at #2, instead of someone like me down there at #10 where all my guesses are about the same amount off.

So far we have some great participation over last year with 216 folks who have entered all 3 contests so far. That is more than there were who entered any of the contests by themselves last year. There are another 50 that have entered 2 contests and 57 who have entered just one contest for a total of 323 different participants so far.

Even if you haven't entered any contests so far you can still get in the contest, you just won't be able to drop any of the scores from here out.

Oh well, here's the official unofficial results. Again, PLEASE double check your scores that I post at the end of each contest, it's hard for me to believe that I haven't made any mistakes yet hand keying nearly 1,000 scores so far.

If anyone has any questions or comments let me have them. I'm open to any suggestions in the way I'm posting up the results.

Thanks, Nathan.

Here's the summary through week 3.

Good luck everyone!
 
Thanks NP! Alot of work there. After the drops come in to play, things will really shake up. Just a quick glance, it looks like Tuffbucker would be in #1 with less than an inch of variance! Dang impressive.
 
My only comment is that it is AWESOME for you to spend the obvious time needed to do this for the guys and how accurate you are entering all those numbers. Thank you and I hope I'm speaking for everyone!
 
Thanks for the comments.

It does take some time, but the way I have everything set up it doesn't take as much time as you would think. It takes as much time to print out the spreadsheets into pdf, convert them to images, crop and resize them, upload and post them as it does to actually key in the scores. Probably around an hour for each contest total time, maybe just a little more than that.

I'm not sure I'm that accurate, I just think folks aren't checking very closely!

I'm getting pretty good with 1/8 fractions though! The ones that throw me for a loop is when people put in 1/4's or 1/2's. I have to think about those for a second as I key them in! ;-) We did have someone on this contest put in a 1/3 fraction, but I just assumed they meant 1/8 and keyed it in that way.
 
I knew I had to have made a mistake in there somewhere!

Looks like in got off somewhere in there in contest #3 between posts 25 and 28. I'm looking at this on my iPhone in the hotel room right now, but I'll get that updated sometime tomorrow.

Thanks for checking my results, remember that the individual results are posted at the end of each contest.

Thanks, Nathan
 
216th place so far!! LMAO!! Oh well, at least I have my drop scores all figured out. Time to get serious I guess.

I got that fixed and instead of editing and cropping 7 pages I'm going to just post a link to the pdf and see how that works. It is easier to read, you just have to click on it and open it up instead of it showing up in the thread.

I ended up leaving chase's score on contest 3 off of this one, but I have it fixed on the spreadsheet, just didn't want to go back and redo everything again.

Any thoughts on doing it this way?

+1 for the pdf. Works a lot better for me.
