Well, there can be a lot of reasons. I may be on for a few hours during NAQP
SSB, but my wife has already scheduled me for the morning. And my main rig
(K2/100) is currently all apart on the workbench waiting for a part to arrive
in the mail.
That's a lot of downsides for an SSB contest.
If you want to include me on a team, go ahead, but don't expect much of a score.
