On the left is what could've been, parentheses is what actually happened:

2/5 - 5-3 (3-4)
2/6 - 0-0 (0-0)
2/7 - 2-4 (2-4)
2/8 - 3-2 (2-2)
2/9 - 2-4 (0-3)
2/10 - 2-0 (2-1)
2/11 - 0-2 (0-3)
Totals - 14-15 (9-17)


Obviously neither strategy produced a winning week, but I'd much rather have a 14-15 record than 9-17...

During the All-Star Break I'll apply the tweak back to discovery on 1/7...it'll be interesting to see what kind of an impact it has when we're cruising...

Anyway, tweak is in play tonight...hopefully we can gain some momentum heading into the break...13 games...see ya at 8...

Later.

Went back and tweaked a little more...here's the finished product...new tweak on the right:

1/7-1/12
20-8, 18-5


1/13-1/19
22-13, 19-11


1/20-1/26
21-15, 21-16

1/27-2/2
20-10, 17-8

2/3-2/9
11-16, 13-12

2/10-2/11
2-4, 2-3

Totals

96-66 (59%), 90-55 (62%)


You'll notice the winning weeks were basically the same, which is fine...the real impact was on our losing week...11-16 to 13-12 is a $3,000 swing...that's HUGE...not just monetarily, but for confidence moving forward...

So even though we hit kind of a lull, I'm choosing to attribute that to players looking forward to the break...

Now that we're back, even though luck hasn't been our friend this week, I've got the same feeling I had when we were runnin good...and my feelings are normally dead on...

Money is coming our way.
