Bounce theory may be just old school imaginations by others but some think it is a real factor for consideration, not the only factor. In this case would you still ignore the last race? Throw out as a non-contender or maybe a repeater?

I think thaskalos threw a curveball at me...
For bounce I tend to use significant lifetime high and short rest myself.
