Whoa! Your score is not nearly that bad. Looks like you deducted the year for your baseline instead of what the chart says. I'll revise your score in a moment.

1. Yes, an attendance of 0 gives you the negative baseline for that timeframe

2. Treat the same as #1, as the parks have not technically been in use for any future years. If you notice, you'll see that the baseline for 2000-present is actually lower than from 1980-1999, despite having a higher average attendance (2.451mm vs. 1.957mm). This is because I had to account for all the 0s from 2013-2019, which signicantly reduced the baseline for 2000-2019.

Cool and cool... Can't wait to see how it all shakes out and how we all rank after the shake up and bonus add :)

1,640 is correct for this round. You'll get the additional 1,500 during the bonus round. Nice!

Tell you what, we'll just convert your rogue letters to the following:

W=C
Y=E
N=D

There's a method to the madness here...I just went from A-J and back to A again until I got to your letter. W is the 23rd letter of the alphabet, J is the 10th, so you go through A-J twice and to C to get 23. Make sense?

On another note, I need to make a correction to the same ballpark bonus. It should only be 1,000 points, not 1,500. Obviously, the same ballpark will be in the same city, so you don't get the same city bonus as well.

So sorry for any confusion.

I'll have the bonus scoring and final results tomorrow.

Thanks to all who stuck with it all the way through.

Ballpark 3---219e, Cleveland Municipal Stadium, 1994---> 0 = 0 - 1500 = -1500
Ballpark 4---19d, St. Louis Sportsmans Park, 1903-->380,404 = 380-250 = 130
Ballpark 2---119d, Chicago Cominsky Park I, 1963-->1,158,848 = 1,158 - 1000 = 158
