Re: gpl-rank question

No mystery, St. Eldreds Cup is a backmarker benchmark named in honor of E. Pickett. Mr. Pickett is the self-proclaimed slow driver in the group. As can be seen by the standings, there are alot slower. Jeff H.

NAAASTY!!! ;-) Seriously, Eldreds current handicap is taken as the 0.0 time for this cup: Everyone up to 10 seconds faster than him and everybody slower than him will have a SECR (st. eldreds cup ranking ;-) Uwe -- Uwe Schuerkamp http://www.schuerkamp.de/ GnuPG Fingerprint: 2093 20B8 B861 9358 A356 B01A E145 9249 5D27 33EA PGP Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61

"...and its range moves with Eldreds rank" I think this is called the "St. Eldreds Shuffle" :-)
