Darn, you keep inviting people to join and we were at 28 three days before deadline. If too many more people enter, I guess I'll have to again say goodbye to my goal of finally finishing in the top 30 of one of these.......

Beat 4 people? Can't remember the last time that happened -- I'm usually the guy everyone else likes to see enter since it often saves them the ignominy of finishing last. But they're still fun.

My name doesn't appear under the NBA Inside Stuff responses on Question 1. The answer should be worth 3 points; it appears my total score is correct.

Looks like I copied your answer there instead of your name - should be worth 2 points as the heading indicates.

Created a SN to play in my first ever TD....yeah, this is not going as well as I thought but I should have known Jerry Mcguire was going to be a big pick. Looks like my hope for the -4 bonus is gone, should have just dropped this guy.

I hate to nitpick but I'm not sure why my answer was marked incorrect. While the city of Harper's Ferry is in WV, the national park itself is in three states. From the National Parks website, Harpers Ferry National Historical Park is located at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers in the states of West Virginia, Virginia, and Maryland. https://www.nationalparks.org/explore-p ... rical-park
