DTL -- Help me with this math. Entering this week, I had 60pts on a guy, leader had 75 entering -- i did not chase.

he now has 83...

60-75 1 W3 / 1W12.
60-83 1 W3 / 1W12.

Assumption is he just went radio silent to get an 83pt 0/0 right? Which means he's capping the auto-recruit pending Priority Points, right? Safe assumption is he's not going to put more on unless he gets an inkling there's a chase, right?

So, if I put 10 up this week, and he stays at 83...

70-83.

And then last week, I drop 17

I get 87-83 and that's should be a win, right?

I'm not mis-reading his intentions, right?

- Tough tournament draw, Spam. Billings and San Jose in your octant. Both are killers. -- nm - 99 Luftbaron Sep 15, 15:40 1
  - Yup. If I get past the S16 it’d be a miracle. -- nm - spamlet Sep 15, 20:23
Perhaps. It's almost surely not his top priority, but he wants enough for the guarantee. I typically continue to throw points at guys just in case - 99 Luftbaron Sep 15, 15:09
