[CyberTOPS] old scales what to do?

[Lori - cyberTOPS Owner]

You do NOT round the weights -- put them in the member's chart exactly as 
the scale says.  The only time weights are rounded is at the end of the 
year if the total lost or gained is something like 2.1 then it is rounded 
to 2.25 as the division winners, etc. are based on quarter pound increments.

If weights are always rounded on the chart each week, it can lead to a big 
discrepancy as below:

Person #1 weighs in with a loss of 2.2, WR rounds to 2.25
Person #2 weighs in with a loss of 2.3, WR rounds to 2.50

Person #1 lost only 0.1 less than Person #2, but now all of a sudden on 
the chart, they are 0.25 apart.  This could add up to a huge difference in 
the space of a year.  Even if the WR rounded the 2.3 to 2.25, now that 
person has lost their 0.1 advantage.
