With the tiniest bit of rounding South has a 1" advantage when you average for the top 20, (which is now only 15 and 16 respectively): 25.96875 vs. 27.0666... Like you said, let's see what happens as we fill up the top 20 spots. Justin and Nancy have each just posted a fish for their team, so we're almost there. Looking at last year, it took fish from just 5 contestants to fill the top 10 spots while this year it will take 7 to fill the top 20. But what I really like is that absolutely everybody that posts a fish will have it count in the total-inches calculations. And it will be fun to see the average for those because the South will end up with a lot more total fish than the North. No brag, just fact [angelic]. Jeff, I emphatically vote for the new calculations and hope we can formalize them for next year. I feel like this makes the contest more fun for everyone and that's the point, right?
