Thanks!

kdale,

I am sorry, but I did miss it. It happens, and that is why I ask every player to verify that I got their prediction on the prediction summary table before the game. I can correct any error prior to a game in less than a minute, but after the game, the correction process takes between 30 and 60 minutes depending upon the number of players.

Please, all players, verify that I got your prediction entered correctly prior to all future games.

Thanks Professor. I did not get a chance to check it last time.
