You are right, I knew nothing about points, all I was doing was look at the money leaderboard. I had seen before a couple of posts mentioning points, but I did not look into it assuming I had no chance to compete on placement points against the CC giants (like you, for example).
Now, after some research on the forum, I know how to look at the points LB and understand how the points are awarded. As we speak, I am on top with 266 points, but like you said, it takes a while to get all the numbers, and things will probably change since the difference in points between the top places is razor-thin.
I wish I new more about it earlier, because I missed a few games lately, oblivious to the points LB competition, but on the other hand I played with no pressure (as they say, ignorance is bliss).
Anyways, if I end up winning the first quarter, I am convinced it will be due to yet again another FESTIVUS miracle
Speaking of FESTIVUS, did you give playing in the upcoming spring league a thought? It will be my first league as captain, and if you signed up you would be my first pick. It would be a great pleasure and honor to have you on board of team FESTIVUS "a magical place of positivity and good vibes".
Besides, with the corona situation probably lasting for a while, an extra tourney every week might be a good thing
The deadline for applying is today, april 1st at midnight ET, and the link is below in case you decide to join:
