DRW: (retired)

James: awaiting new VX this week to join in

basjoos: (Apr 13) 634 mi. / 8.9 gal (US) / 71.23 mpg (US)

ELF: (Apr 14) 161 mi. / 5.6 gal (US) / 28.75 mpg (US)

On the topic of James joining: I'd say we should just omit him from last week because he's changing cars. If we put in his Camry in for last week, we'd just be establishing its baseline. It wouldn't affect the competition, because he's trading it for the VX on Wednesday (so there would be no more Camry numbers to compare it to).

So essentially we establish the VX baseline this week (first fill up, hopefully), and it starts affecting the competition next week.

Any objections?

I don't have any problems with it because he has not filled yet so there is nothing to report. We do need to address this just for future reference. I think that in the future if there has been fills for the cycle we just treat it like a new teammate coming onboard as discussed earlier in the Version 2.0 thread.

So James don't fill

From the rules (which are being proofed) a member cannot change vehicles during a cycle.

Another good example of how the rules can be subject to change...
(which is how it was created -- cannot predict all possible future events).

Instead of discussing the topic in this thread, let's move it over to the discussion area...

OK -- will edit.

Announcment: I know you're phasing out of the TC job Metro, but for all other Team Captains -- it's much easier and consistent to get a weekly summary of your team on Sunday night or Monday morning.

Thanks

Thanks Although my current tank is falling behind, as my block heater has stopped working (I need to remove it and see what is wrong). I probably won't be able to do that for a week or two! The outdoor temperatures have gone down too which doesn't help!

A re-count is in process. Anyone with access to the sheet knows the result.

A public announcement is pending -- hold tight.
