Fortythirtyeight 841 Posted May 11, 2023 Nonsensical way of scoring. Just ignore Muffs points like he wasn’t there, promote everyone up a position in his races and get a proper score instead of making it look like 9 points went missing , which they didn’t . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
