Re: Next Contest?

Post by mortongd »

I enjoy the monthly contests.  Wouldn't want to see them every week though.  I'd never get anything done around the house. 
I would like to see a contest where our score is an average of our five highest games.  The dealt RF's & 4 aces/k wouldn't carry as much weight.  I have had a few decent games but can't get that RF dealt that  would get me a HAT or T-SHIRT.  Oh well, maybe someday.....

I agree-that would make skill more important than luck!
