WooHoo !! Trying for TRIPLE POINTS, I give you Oscar Koeroo !!

Hat's off to you Oscar !  I see the webpage (nice variety of  
registrants already!) but
I'm not even able to test all the advanced modes myself to do the  
scoring ! Judges ?

Stephen got me registered as an admin on the Wiki so I'll see if I  
can get this listed there today (and for my difficulty bonus I'll try  
to edit the GIN GridForge page to link in the Wiki ;-).

Thanks !!
Dane
