Ok, something is definitely out of whack here. (Too Easy)

Before you posted the stats (which were the last three weeks worth), I was 59 and JB was 69. Minus 10. 

 Before Sunday, there were two weeks of stats, and each week I gained a point on JB, bringing me to Minus 8 (yes, I wrote down his point 

totals each week).

 This week, I gained 8 points, so that's EVEN with his points.

 So how exactly am I down a point on him???

John’s Response is perfect:

 Look at what you sent me. You gave yourself an   assist to Borges when you weren't even on his team:

 Sunday Feb 13, 2011

 Teams: Game 1

 White Team

 Darrin (G)

 Nick

 Mike D

 Brendon

 Billy T

 Jared

 Dark Team

 Steve (G)

 Griff

 Mark

 Matt P

 JB

 Dale

 Game 2 & 3, switched Brendon and Mark

 -----------------------

 Score: 4-1 - Game 1 - scorer (assist)

 White: Jared (Mike D)

 Dark: Dale (Matt); JB (Mark); JB (Brendon) (hahahaha...how great is that?) JB (Matt P)

 Score: 4-2 - Game 2 - scorer (assist)

 White: Mike D (Billy); Jared (Billy); Jared (Mike D); Jared (Billy)

 Dark: Matt P (Brendon); Brendon (Matt P)

 Score: 1-1 - Game 3 - scorer (assist)

 White: Jared (unassisted)

 Dark: Brendon (unassisted)

To be fair Brendon probably turned the ball over to JB in Game 1. It was probably his best setup of the year. I would have given him the assist personally.

 Something got messed up then. I definitely assisted him once that week....however, we had (as usual) inexperienced and uninterested people taking down stats. (I can only assume Ashley was there that week) A lot of them were filled in after all the games were over. (who would be involved in this?)

 I'll see if I can dig up the old stat sheet and see what went wrong (I might have thrown it out though). (“hopefully it was done in pencil”)

In the meantime, there is still one other point I have in my records that is unaccounted for (not part of this conversation, nor the one a 

 few weeks back about a missing assist that wasn't written down).If I send you a list of all my points week-by-week, do you think you can match them up against the db and see which weeks there are discrepencies? (spelling)

Thanks

Are you ready for a Math Popsicle headache?

 I understand that you don't have time now. Don't feel obligated to do this asap: With the past two "corrections" where I lost an assist each time, due

to bad record-keeping, I still have 76 points in my records, which is one more than the books. Here is the breakdown of what I have recorded

week-by-week:

 date goals assists points

 9/19/2010 4 1 5

 9/26/2010 2 0 2

 10/3/2010 1 2 3

 10/10/2010 1 1 2

 10/17/2010 0 1 1

 10/24/2010 3 4 7

 10/31/2010 0 0 0 (shootout goal, in game 2. Not

counted as regular gamewinner or goal) 

 11/7/2010 1 0 1

 11/14/2010 1 3 4

 11/21/2010 0 CANCELLED: MS MEETINGS, ETC.

 11/28/2010 1 2 3

 12/5/2010 1 4 5

 12/12/2010 3 4 7

 12/19/2010 1 1 2 (sadly, he has accepted that the stats were written correctly.)

 12/26/2010 0 CANCELLED: SNOW

 1/2/2011 0 CANCELLED: not enough people

 1/9/2011 0 CANCELLED: not enough people

 1/15/2011 1 2 3

 1/23/2011 2 5 7

 1/30/2011 3 5 8

 2/13/2011 2 1 3

 2/23/2011 5 0 5

 2/26/2011 5 3 8

 TOTALS 37 39 76

 There must be some other discrepency (spelling) that happened prior to the week of 1/30/11. It appears to another missing assist. (38 vs 39 total) - but which week? I'm guessing it was one of the two weeks before that week, since all the stats were posted in bulk yet again. (cant you do them weekly???)

 If you could just take a look when you get a chance and tell me which

week you have a point discrepency (spelling), I'd like to see if there was any glaring mistake that we can figure out (although it's so long ago it seems unlikely unless it was one of the weeks we happened to get some video).

 No rush. Thanks
