POPs/Sunday Contest/Average Calculation

[tegalogic]

Hi, I have a problem here:
I wanted to enter the Sunday Contest (for the first time), and I know they have an extra scramble for POPs. I got two POPs, and I'm not sure how to calculate the average.

These are my times:
27.39 36.21 29.91 (17.98) 35.10 (43.93) 37.65 POP 29.34 32.13 29.17 POP 31.06

What do I do?

I would take one and make it a DNF and the other make it a POP... Submit the times with 1 DNF. This is why the WCA got rid of the POP rule. You should always finish your solves, so you don't end up with a DNF avg.

Make one of the pops the worst solve and let the other count as your worst. You are lucky it's the sunday contest because they still accept one loose POP besides normal DNF"s..
