The pole playoff seems like a good second tie-breaker
to me.
I don't think we want to penalize people who don't
make compound picks.

In scanning back thru my RPG's, I failed to pick a candidate for the win in
two races and in the others the winner I predicted failed to cooperate so my
concern was for naught. Soooo... pig and I are in a dead heat with 22
each... Dover will tell the tale....
do we start the trash talk yet?

Why not?
(you do know that trash talk costs you in MVM points, don't
you? I don't want to be stating the obvious, but on the
other hand I know Marty keeps those rules hidden...)
