Can you check your calculations, I think my score should be slightly higher?

211,854 score going into Tuesday's games
(52,960) (Loyola loss)
(10,590) (Manhattan loss)
( 9,531) (Siena loss)
+12,771 (participation bonus)
--------
151,544

Thanks.

The bonus is paid AFTER you add or deduct points for games that day (in your case, it was deduct, deduct, and deduct some more). You started the day with 211,000 points, and finished with 138,000.

We're gonna start the quack rule pretty soon. Similar to the NFL's challenge rule, you can throw your little red flag only so often until I start charging you timeouts. Translated into MAACAlexandria-speak, that means a point fine :-)
