Zuma's Stat Roster

PSedrishMD · December 14, 2004, 2:42pm

Here you go, Zuma, set up your format.
Good luck guys. I really wish you all the best, all the time.

just_forget_me · December 14, 2004, 2:58pm

Pretty sure my format is the same as Zuma's:

Alright, so here's the format. If we all do it, it'll make things VERY easy to follow, and will make this thread an incredible resource for RD (and future EAers).

Remove the spaces before the brackets to make it work (and credit goes to the Stanford board, by way of Princeton)

Copy and paste the following into the reply. Delete the spaces inside the brackets.
