*The new system has rollover, this is useful. First it was silly we always lost SP, and second it has relevance for your situation. So say you do 1800, which is normal DM not DME/DE in new system (whatever we call it. I like the three letters due to DMP parallel but I'll go with the crowd). You can roll 600 to next year, so say you do 1800 next year you get DME (1800+600 rolling from last year). Therefore an 1800 DM really will be splitting half time as DM and half as DME every other year.
