    Updated Annual Scoring Summary for 2018 (Jan to Nov)

    The annual scores are now updated using the second of two optional totals from the November provisional scoring. The max wind gust was confirmed to be 66 knots (the second of two scoring columns in the November bonus section leading to the totals in brackets).

    So I had a chance to check the Monthly Summary, all scoring was confirmed but the wind gust at Sherkin was stated to be 66 knots (as we had originally thought) which means the November provisional scoring becomes the second option (read scores under 66 kts and totals in brackets, some superbonus points either now apply (Rikand for example) or are dropped (kindred spirit). This has changed one or two ranks in the annual contest and that post has been edited.

    So we can finally say congrats to both Kindred Spirit and Tae laidir who tied for top spot in November on these results (87 points).

    Pauldry remains in first place overall, with a slight lead on Con sensus (6 points) and sryanbruen is tied with waterways in second place (in the best 9 of 11 scoring) just eleven points back of Pauldry, so it will all come down to the December forecast now, with Rikand having an outside chance of catching the leader. I may post a table over in December showing how many points you gain on the leaders if your forecast scores a perfect 103 (there's a superbonus with the snow question).

    The next item to consider is the Four Seasons contest within a contest, and I will do that later today, probably not until evening. I have to do the autumn portion now and add those points to whatever people had back in August after the summer portion.

    So it's congratulations to Pauldry, our Four Seasons champ, he had the only four seasons score higher than Con Sensus (2nd), with Jpmarn retaining second place from summer despite a shutout in autumn. Third place goes to rameire and kindred spirit (tied).

    The higher points for autumn all seemed to go to forecasters in the middle of the pack when summer finished, which is why the scoring race has become quite a logjam especially just behind the leaders.

    The 2018-19 Four Seasons contest begins with December so bazlers, if you read this, you're in the hunt.
