There's always a point Jazzy! Even if you don't score a hit, the points for bonuses (splash, fight, etc) and the linked challenges all add up (I think even more than the hits scored for some of us!) and those points are ours regardless of whether it's a hit or miss.

I'll be adding your latest books in a few minutes 😁

Also a heads-up, the Olympic Games challenge also gives bonus points for this one, so holler if you use a book there too.

Thanks Sammy.
