I have read several people say this. An important point to remember is that the extra ring doubles the score for the row that it is in, not the whole score. (I know that you all know this, but we need to keep the exponential thing in perspective). My guess is that most ringers will make a 2 row into a 3 row (a plus 4 points from 4 to 8). How long will it take a team to make a ring counting the time from one score to the next score (the whole cycle)?

I'm betting that the end bonus in this year's game will be as big as the "king of the hill" bonus in 2003.
