So very proud of CBA #10!Yeah I have to be moving off the bike. Some people think I'm an ultra competitive person but really I just need to move around due to the 14-20 hours of daily sitting. I think this is the wrong crowd for 5, 10, 20k. But I think its a cool idea. Kirsten would outrun me for sure anything over 5k. I digress. I enjoyed reading the banter from time to time, so thank you all. Good ride and good times and great peeps. The states really weren't too much of a factor as long as you kept it in your scan. There were enough routing option variations (with soooooo many bonus locations and the daylight restriction) as there weren't any super high point values that you couldn't do because of your state total. Also if you had all your states it was little advantage in leg3. I treated each leg like a point rally and made sure I picked up some states. Ended up doing the Texas Big Bend tour on each leg! Kept me out of the weather and similar points to other options. We'll find out more tonight.
That's the way I read it. As it was, the margin of victory was 161 points, or .0015, which rounds up to two tenths of one percent. That's got to be the closest finish in history.If I am reading the report correctly, is the difference between Eric and Josh, that Josh's 3rd leg call in was made but not recd by the phone bank?
Yup. You read that right. That's total bullshit. This is the reason I would never give these people my money and let them judge anything. Josh isn't the only one that happened to, and they know their system is FUBAR, but they continue to punish the riders for the organization's mistake.If I am reading the report correctly, is the difference between Eric and Josh, that Josh's 3rd leg call in was made but not recd by the phone bank?
Congrats to ALL the riders...some really tough riding, especially thru the final night.

It's not clear at this point what went wrong with that phone call. Placing the call is not what gets the points, for those you have to leave the required information. Many of us have experienced difficulties with "Call-In" bonuses. Sometimes those problems are user-error, sometimes a network error and sometimes they might be the fault of the rally systems. I'm guessing that will be investigated later.Yup. You read that right. That's total bullshit. This is the reason I would never give these people my money and let them judge anything.

If the rider's phone shows the call was made, the points should be awarded. Not cool at all. Josh won this IBR, and for it to be taken from him like that is BS.
