Joe - I'm glad you see this Sunday as something special; "Kensington HLW this Oct 3rd. Awesome that it creates incentive for the buddies to come to Kensington...."
Not sure what you mean by the Oct 3rd HLW does not count. If you mean toward getting paid out at the Grand Finale based on your final standing and you were unable to attend, then I guess I could see the comment that the HLW "really does not count". But I haven't seen to many players focused solely on payouts based on points. They either want to be at the top of the leader board - MiCPS Champ for Summer 2010 or they want ammunition to razz a friend or they want to push to catch someone or some level as a way of measuring their improvement or progress and then there is that simple silly little excuse to get out to one more round, "I've got to this one is Double Points" and these are special rounds so maybe I'll see more friends, the "Buddies" factor as you point out and there may be something new and cool because it the Highlighted League of the Week.
Points mean different things to different people but for those who want to look back at the leader board and see how they did compared to others all over the state, every point could make a difference. Oh and there is another cool aspect if your points did not total up to really indicate your true ability, that is not your fault - Luck of the draw doubles, different league sizes, number of leagues in your area, and I bet you have a life that prevents you from playing as often as you like.... so many random and wild card like aspects could really affect your point total. It's like any other game, if you want to win you have to understand the rules, and what other players are doing, and bring that together with consistently more great rounds than good rounds and you have a shot at one of the top positions.
Points are still be accumulated by those playing any of the participating leagues, based on their schedule posted on DGS, until the final round at the Grand Finale.
This Sundays HLW at Kensington also has the potential of being the largest league round played in Michigan this summer - That is pretty cool and in my book that Counts
If I didn't get the point please help me so I can understand so all aspects are being evaluated.
Thanks Joe and I look forward to seeing you Sunday.
