[NCNCA] BARBAT Masters Crit Championship points error

[Christine Anderson]

I apologize for the error - definitely all my fault. 
It was my first time doing reslts & in my haste to get
them out, I inadvertently posted the wrong category
labels.  I didn't understand the importance of the
specific labels; now I do.  Again, I'm very sorry to
all who were affected.

> These races are NCNCA District Championships and

> Larry Wolf tied for 1st place with 104 points.
> BARBAT rules state:
> 
> "In the case of a tie, the highest number of 1st
> place finishes will act as the tie-breaker. If no
> 1st place then 2nd place finishes will count, and so
> on."
> 
> Checking their results in qualifying races, both had
> two 1st place finishes, both had two 2nd place
> finishes, and Larry Wolf had four 3rd place finishes
> while Bernie Weber had three. So by tie-breaker
> rules, Larry Wolf is 1st place in the Men Master 55+
> category.

> I apologize for this error but as I stated when I
