There has to be some way to incorporate the first set of jumps into the final standings. Perhaps averaging them with the ones done from the new starting point. As long as everyone had these two extra jumps, I see nothing unfair about some system like this. Unfortunately, it's a bit late at this point to do anything about it. Incidently, does anyone know what the USA's chances for a medal would have been using the averaged score? Paul Haeckel NET: ihnp4!stolaf!haeckel decvax!stolaf!haeckel
