Hey, Tim, I had Dario for most laps led!

In Best Mover of the Race and Backwards Fall from Grace, if there's a tie then the driver that gets the award is the one that starts/finishes best, don't you think?

I'll change your score...sorry about that.

I would have counted both drivers for 2 pts. on "Mover" or "Fall"...

I'm generous and this is supposed to be a fun contest...I want everyone to score well without making it more complicated than it already is right now.

[NaBUru38]

Ok, thanks!
