You are NOT an English major? What was me thinking?
But seriously, the rule can be read two ways. One is the way Matt read it - and the way I then also read it after he "explained" it to me - which is that you can get only
1 X 5 bonus points for 25+ of any given species in a county. Once you have, say, 25 Fence Lizards in LA County and received 1 x 5 bonus points, that's all the bonus points you can get for Fence Lizards in LA County. To get more bonus points for Fence Lizards, you have to find them in a different county.
The other way is the correct, intended way as explained by Hubbs: You can get
any number of bonus points for 25+ of any given species in a county. If you find 100 Fence Lizards in LA County, you get 4 x 5 bonus points.
The funny thing is that no one corrected Matt even after he misstated the rule (if he did) in response to my question. So, simple and straightforward, it seems, the rule is not. Only the Fence Lizard and Uta King has a solid grip on it
Anyway, back to vouchering Fence Lizards ....
