I am really glad I asked the question now.  Clearly I will have to watch 
quite a bit in the next contest to get the feel for what is really 
happening.  I would have never figured this out with out some help.

Thanks for the help, I hope to now play in the next contest, althought I 
will mostl likely crawl and not Sprint.  :-)
