Don, just a suggestion moving forward (certainly not for week 3) but I found myself this week in 15th out of 29, i.e. in the position of beating as many players as I lost to. In this instance maybe it's a good idea to "reward" this position by having them not gift any balls whilst not winning any either. You come soooo close to winning a sleeve and then find that in fact you have to gift a sleeve, so it almost feels like the ultimate $9 turnaround! Remember the 1st place finisher still gets his sleeve and the 500 points bonus on top. It also has the added benefit of giving one more target to aim for or cling to (e.g. I knew a couple of days ago that I was already behind 14 others so would have to gift, whereas if this middle postion was classed as the "Freebee" position, I would have still been looking on with interest to see if I had managed to hold on to it) . . . just a thought . . .
