So what have we learned?
Well,    A > 4 >>>>>>> 11 apparently.

Obviously, all still to play for.

Entries for tomorrow's races need to be sent to me by mid-day.
I will update the spreadsheet at mid-day and post to let you know.

I would like to congratulate Mr Novice on a most excellent spreadsheet. To my mind it is up there with Red Dogs pictures of birds and TKs pictures of trains as a thing of beauty.

I concur with as much entireness as I am able.

For balance, he's awkward, obdurate, pedantic, & stubborn, in which matters he reminds me muchly of karabiner, but it's a common trait in the elderly, & we should exercise tolerance & understanding.

Some might call me pedantic but that statement is a bit tautological.

[bobby1]

not sure why but fking love spreadsheets, just can't do anything fancy.  spent an hour doing my mum a budget she could update and it all followed through to monthly/yearly etc... i loved it, almost said she wasnt allowed to use it as I was sure she would fk it up!

[Simon Galloway]

Bit disappointed with the formatting tbh.  Surely it should go to www.gg.com ~ scrape ~ and auto-populate the results too?

Otherwise, a very tidy bit of kit.

Very good point.
The level of manual input and associated potential for human error is, most definitely, a weakness in the design.
I'll use the fact that it's the first time I've used Google docs as my excuse.
It's a poor excuse but it will have to suffice while I dream up a better one.

[Simon Galloway]

Fantastic ~ if you figure it out, let me know please, got a couple of spreadsheets that could do with that

Surprised you not had Tikay's entry. Is he deciding which letter of alphabet to use?
