I hope everyone who slaloms reads this board. It's time for a quick reminder:
CHECK THE WORLD RANKING FOR YOUR STATUS.
If it seems awfully low, check for the following:
ALL POSSIBLY PSEUDONYMS, NICKNAMES AND NON D'PLUMES YOU MIGHT HAVE!!
Race organizers submit their results to Corky for inclusion in the points database. Corky does not have the time to sort out everyone's different nicknames before adding points. If he sees "JSSKater" got 3rd, then there's a new racer on the circuit named "JSSkater" instead of "John Smith" getting the points who's been racing since Eisenhower was president.
The Downhillbillies are NOTORIOUS for nicknames - almost to the point that people have to think to remember a guy's real name: "SST," "Mac-T", "D-Holt," "Rookie," "Jaybird," "Surly," "Lil' E", "WT," and of course "NCL," "North Carolina Longboarder," and "MC-Hammerhead" just for Karr and he probably got a new one after a weekend again with CBark (Oh, that's Chris Barker.)
Anyway, check for yourself and make sure all your points are going to one file. It's not Corky's fault if it gets split up and it's not the race organizers fault if you register with some nickname and never correct it.
