OK, seems I must have screwed the pooch on some numbers and the source file is gone so I can't verify what went wrong for sure. Thanks for pointing it out MileKing. I reran them all and edited my original table.

But, please, nobody else qoute my table anymore! It's bad enough that it's flawed but now there are multiple copies!

P.S. Just did them from scratch and got different results for all. My guess: my first run was probably based on the increase in category, not in points. Example: a Cat 3 to a Cat 4 is a 33% increase, but 25,000 pts to 30,000 pts is a 20% increase. (I shouldn't have run them when I was tired )

Scandics is a tougher nut to crack, so I'll have to run that later when I get the chance.
