Still some relevant stuff for perusal here...my new Twitter/X handle is marcjacob386. I'm still viewed as marcbryanjacob or marcjac87796419.
Westgate Supercontest BR management: I suggest 6% BR per week. Put it on a 5-team round-robin including just the 3's, plus the 5. That's 10 3-teamers at 0.5%. Put 1% on the 5. The lofty goal is 70%; but one 5-0 week should provide a profit for the season. For 2019 we put a small group together. We finished an outlying 45-37-3 (54.9%).
