Then double that number to figure out how it will actually take.

Important point: You'll usually overestimate the number of points needed (2009 was a rare exception due to the HP element, IMHO). In 2008 if you could average 2 hurdles a match, you were a first round pick at most events. In 2007 if you could average 3 tubes a match, you were probably a first round pick. In 2006 if you could make most of your starting 10 balls in every match (or score well in autonomous), you were a first round pick.

Also, is there a link to JVN's video lecture?
