And how 'bout we total up those scores.

My mathematical obsessive compulsive brain needed to make a summary of the scores for the year.

Notice that the columns read "WINS" and "NON-WINS". I did this because we play a lot of games with more than two people. A player may have come in a very close second in a game with 5 people. I don't consider this a "LOSS", but just a "NON-WIN".

Also, I added a column for win percentage, and an adjusted win percentage. I added the adjusted percentage to compensate for the number of games played. It's really not fair for a person to come in, play ONE game, win it, and then be credited with the best win percentage in the bunch. SO I simply multiplied the win percentage by the total number of games played. This is a rather simple approach, and I'm certain we can come up with something better, but it'll do for now.

Here's the leaderboard at the end of our first semester...
