I show this error stemming from post 62. You claimed a jumbo, but as Elizabeth(Alaska) noted in post 98, the MPE does not qualify.

From post 62:
Season Total: 335
+40 (post 86): 375
+30 (post 90): 410
+25 (post 104): 435 <- this is the post you said corrected the jumbo points, but the math does not currently reflect that.

There may be an error elsewhere, but looking at the history for the season, it appears this is where it starts.

when I'm pretty sure this qualifies for the 30 point project bonus."
