Yup, we got it done.  The big change, the two DH divisions both start on Monday.  The big fun?  Watching the Contessa, which weighs about as much as all of its competitors combined, tiptoe through through its division.  More fun you want?  How about SAILING TO HAWAII?  Yeah, that's fun too.  Spreadsheet attached as  http://pacificcup.org/files/PCR2008FINAL.xls.
