I think you are confusing "gross score" with "green score". The drying period willnot shrink a rack anywhere near that much.

EDIT: sorry I was late on that one.

GregH, you don't subtractabnormal points, youjust don't get to add them. The wholeprocess is to add them, and then subtract them, thus equallingout to a zeroeffect. Yes, it is rediculous. I may have misunderstood what you were saying though.

There was an article from the head of records for P&Y saying that a 200" monster with 8 stickers that nets 170" (I am making up these #'s I don't remember exactly whatmeasurements he used)is "a lesser deer" than a perfectly symmetric 10-point that measures 176" and nets 172". There is something wrong with that IMO.
