Way to go Team 20D; the highest average in playoff rd1 on our side of the bracket at least :-) I haven't checked the other side...

Hope all's going well for everyone this week; I am not scoring especially well in either challenge so I need y'all to carry me... I am hanging just under 6.0 in "sticky", and in the mid-5's on "brown". We're facing those pesky Se7endipity people again, so we need some good numbers.

How's 20D feeling this week?!?!? We should be feeling really good, guys. We've had an excellent season and a great start to the playoffs! Keep up the momentum lady and gents, we can do it!! :D

Looks like I'm gonna average around 6.4 this week, sure hoped for better - I pray it will be enough. Have a great shot in mind for Occupation - will shoot that one and probably one for the open. Can't go lax now - we all need entries!

Rock on, guys! :)

I lost my enthusiasm for a few weeks, but I'm starting to get back into it now. I'll help out with a 6.7. :-)

"Sticky" has cleared the 6 barrier, barely. At least it won't be pathetic. Here's hoping we don't need to use it.

I've had a bad season only breaking 6 once !! and it looks like things are not going to change in a hurry with my "sticky" and "brown" ....sorry

12/25/2006 11:40:07 PM · #59

My "Sticky" finished at 6.06, not pathetic but... I hope we have some good open challenge shots winding up voting, 'cuz my brown is one of my worst scoring ever (and rightly so).

I have pleasantly good news from the "Occupation" challenge, where my shot that started in the low 4's has climbed to 6.26, another respectable if not stellar effort.

So how about it? Do we have the horses to knock off those pesky se7endipity people this round?

If I have calculated correctly, we managed to squeak past Se7endipity, and that with only 4 of our 7 shooters participating. WTG guys!

Did we?!?! I'm far too tired to do the math but have been waiting for an update from Scott. High fives all around! Super season so far, guys! 20D Rulz! ;)

I could be wrong. I;'ve been known to be wrong. But I was as diligent as I know how to be with numbers, which I admit is not very :-) I have us ahead 6.2768 to 6.2203, a razor-thin margin. We had to post a 5.7 score, and that hurt us.

Fingers crossed,

Robt.

P.S. If we win our division, I'm all good vibes for the challenges in Photobowl :-) They are ALL advanced editing... Guess which one I love?

I'm, holding steady at a mediocre low 6+ in "Occupation". Any idea how many of our shooters have entries this week? My "Pattern" is getting crucified in the early voting, and I confess to a certain frisson of bitterness about that :-(

Well including the two of us, I think we have 4 in, but I haven't heard from everyone, so can't be sure. Its time to turn up the fire, everyone needs to be onboard - we can rest for a month when playoffs are done. :D Here's to a good week shooting!

We're all signed up for WPL 4 :D

Dat's good. I'm worried about this league championship though... I'm apparently the only one of us who entered the "Occupation" challenge... I'm in with a 6.27, which is respectable, but no way my "pattern" entry is gonna beat that. I sure hope, anyhow, there are at least 3 more of us in the open challenges :-(

I also did not enter the "12 Nights" challenge, I couldn't come up with anything for that and I was anyway busy. Now I know what I want to do for the open challenges, but it's been howling down rain and I only havbe tomorrow to get my shot. I just gassed the car (in the rain) and I'm ready to go if weather cooperates. Otherwise I'll end up with some sort of "studio" shot for the "Centered" challenge, and historically I have not done very well at those :-( But I'll get something in.

C'mon people, go, go, go! Immortality is within our grasp!
