Gnari,
Thanks, and hello to Iceland from Boston. The way you formated the text
is a lesson for me. It makes the code much more intuitive.... but
adding the phrase:

and contest_id=2 and teamshare.team='Duke'

as below produces results 8 times as large as the correct results.

select player_number,player_name,sum(a) as Asum,sum(c) as Csum,sum(t) as
Tsum,
coalesce(sum(a),0)+coalesce(sum(c),0)+coalesce(sum(t),0) as sumtotal
from ( select player_number, player_name, (select player_points where
aspect='A') as A ,(select player_points where aspect='C') as C, (select
player_points where aspect='T') as T from (select * from player as
a,teamshare
as b where a.player_number=b.player and teamshare.contest_id=2 and
teamshare.team='Duke' ) as c) as B group
by player_number, player_name;

NOTICE: Adding missing FROM-clause entry in subquery for table "teamshare"

player_number | player_name | asum | csum | tsum | sumtotal
---------------+-------------+------+------+------+----------
40 | R. Perkins | 2.16 | 2.64 | | 4.8
42 | S. Randolph | 6.48 | 7.92 | 12.8 | 27.2
(2 rows)

I did get this NOTICE that I don't understand:
NOTICE: Adding missing FROM-clause entry in subquery for table "teamshare"

I tried changing the select statement to be

select * from player as a *** and from *** teamshare as b

But that didn't work. Here are my table definitions:
Table "public.teamshare"
Column | Type | Modifiers
---------------+-----------------------+-----------
teamshare_id | integer | not null
possession_id | integer | not null
contest_id | integer | not null
team | character varying(8) | not null
cum_score | integer | not null
player | integer | not null
aspect | character(1) | not null
player_points | double precision |
organization | character varying(14) |
Indexes: teamshare_pkey primary key btree (teamshare_id)

Table "public.player"
Column | Type | Modifiers
---------------------+-----------------------+-----------
player_id | integer | not null
player_number | character varying(3) | not null
player_name | character varying(14) | not null
team | character varying(24) | not null
organization | character varying(12) | not null
player_compensation | integer |
Indexes: player_pkey primary key btree (player_id)

I can't think of any rationale for placing the qualifying phrase
anywhere else. Any Ideas?

thanks,
Phil
