Sleeping At the Top

Webinator @ Wednesday, August 11th 10:53AM [link]

Hello again MKW community, time for another update.

First off, I couldn't get around to any of the backed-up awards this week, since I was really busy and the last quarter of 2009 wasn't opened until about two days ago. But don't worry, for next week's update October, November, and December for 2009 will be completed. So sorry for the bad news, but they'll be caught up soon.

Now to the movement and such.

The New Players
Three newbies join the site this week.
R Janssen felt like being mysterious about his first name and joined the site with 35 times, all the courses and three flaps. With those times he's in the 280s, but with the rest of his timesheet he could move up drastically.
Jonathon Jones joins with the usual 32 course times, that would rank him 307th if he kept that pace.
Evan Simmons was the most impressive newbie this time around, with his course-only timesheet he slots in at about 247th. Flaps always help your AF so once these times get submitted Evan should shoot up the charts as well as the other newcomers.

Movement
40 players picked up their WiiChucks, Classics, and GCN Controllers (and maybe wheels) this week to kart.

The top 10 was pretty quiet this week, with players 1-6 not PRing at all. Moving to the next spot, #7 Ben Hart continued his strong run of the past two weeks by PRing 8 more times. It didn't push him up any spots, but he did kick off an AF point. With the top seemingly quiet maybe Ben can make a run for the top five. #8 Tyler McNell woke up to the fact that he got passed last week and tried to claw his 7th spot back. Unfortunately for him Ben played enough to stay away, but Tyler made a 2% cut with 7 PRs. #9 Alex Shoal has gotten unlucky for the past couple weeks. For the last three weeks he's played but dropped in AF. This week he got another two PRs and improved on his own site record, but he lost half a point. Hopefully Alex can see those nice bolded white numbers on the AF chart soon.

Moving down to the 11-25 karters, those that are so close to the elite top group but still have to cut AF to get there, only one player did anything. #21 Robert van Zanten took advantage of the fact that no one else played around him to hit 4 PRs and move up three spots. With that nice 7% cut RVZ avoided moving down into the next group and got an entire paragraph written about him.

26-50 seemed pretty happy about the fact that only four out of the top 25 played, because this is where all the activity happened. #26 Marvin Rekovsky and #27 Fabien Jacques stick together from last week and make small 1 and 2 PR cuts, respectively. Both lost AF, but if they push a little more next week they should have no problem breaking into the sleeping 11-25 range. #36 Hendrik Boss comes out of nowhere to move from 78th place with a 55 point cut. He would have had the POW but since he improved on every course it was kind of obvious that he hoarded his times. This is still a very impressive move for being inside the top 100. Next up come #37 Henrik Distel and #38 Max Anossow, who switched spots from last time even though they both played and hit 9 PRs each. They are only separated by .2 AF points, so if Max hits another site record like he did this week he might flip the standings again. Next comes #40 Oliver Martin, who cut only half a point of AF but moved up three spots. The tightness of the 26-50 shows that if you don't play, you drop like a rock. #45 Ross Coleman stays square at 45th place but cuts almost an entire AF point, which goes against what I just said about Oliver's cut. Finally we have some newcomers to the group. #49 Zane Royal moves in from 52nd with 16PRs including a Site Record at rMR, and #50 Gavin Price follows him from 54th with 10 personal records and a healthy 5% cut.

After the happiness of the 26-50 range, 51-100 fell into a deep depression because they realized that they were never active. Only six players played here, making it easy for them to make cuts among the dead other players in the group. #54 Tim van Ham just barely missed escaping this graveyard and moved up two spots with 10 new PRs. You can almost see the light of the top 50 Tim! Keep going! #61 Joshua Reinshagen and #62 Yannick Wiesner banded together to move up. Joshua moved up a spot from 62nd to make room for Yannick who cut three spots to fill the empty position. #79 Thibaud Bourdeau moves up five places this week into the top 80, which really isn't a landmark but it pushes him much closer to the front. #87 Luke Berrill tries to find Thibaud, but can only push past three players in his quest to escape the 51-100s. Finally #95 Marcus Wood defies all logic. Last week Marcus played to avoid dropping out of the top 100. This week he PRed once which made him cut his losses to only .3 AF. However this wasn't a huge deal, as he also hurdled two players while moving backwards. Maybe he can escape this zone of inactivity eventually, or maybe just avoid what lies below.

Even after mentioning how easy it was to move up in this range last week only four players played. #115 Dexter Howe seems eternally locked at this position, hitting another PR but not cutting any AF. Dropping to #137 Zack Weber we find he didn't move up at all either but with three PRs at least cut some AF to shorter the gap. Apparently only #145 Jamal Fluellen took my advice this week. He moved up from 152nd with a good 10 point AF cut. If he keeps playing like this in a few weeks he should make it to the next group. Last, but not least (because there are another 100 or so players below him) #217 Florian Chollet goes with a minimalistic attitude, getting two PRs and moving up two spots. At least the 101 and beyonds beat the 11-25 range this week.

Site Records
Five improvements this week, but not much changed hands as four just improved their own PRs.
Lee Duggan got much closer to the Dry Dry Ruins crs sub, breaking the old time of 1'49"350 with a time of: 1'49"146
Jazz Ahmed knocked a whole tenth off of the old Moonview Highway crs time of 1'43"842 with a time of: 1'43"752
Zane Royal beat the old N64 Mario Raceway crs time of 1'42"423 with a time of: 1'42"368
Alex Shoal decided to beat the old GBA Shy Guy Beach crs time of 1'22"525 for the second time in two weeks withh a time of: 1'22"511
Max Anossow was the only person not to improve his own record. He beat the old N64 DK's Jungle Parkway lap time of 0'41"696 with a time of: 0'41"518

So in the overall records table, Marc Bas dropped back to third overall from his tie for second with Jorge, and Max joins near the bottom, tied for 15th with one record. MKW has so many course specialists its crazy.

Awards
Well none of the older awards were taken care of, but there was enough time to recognize a new record holder.
Ben Hart takes the POW for Week 1 of August 2009 with a nice cut all the way from 10th to 7th. Cutting three spots in the top 10 is not an easy task.

Okay, I think I have this whole news updating thing down. Now that it's been three weeks I should stop making at least one typo with every update...maybe. Good luck karting this week everyone!

Yes, I Got Everyone.

Webinator @ Wednesday, August 4th 12:16PM [link]

Another week in the life of MKW. Well anyway, let's get to the news.

Awards
I'm starting with these since I'm happy that I kept up with my promise of delivering new awards, and also probably because everyone hasn't seen it in a while. However, I lied last week about how I would update them. Instead of going backwards, it was easier to start from where they left off (somewhere back in May of 2009). So if you're waiting for an award from June/July 2010, then you might have to wait a little longer as I continue to battle through the stats program to find the bests of the week/month/quarter, etc.

Since these people didn't really get any recognition for their efforts, I'm going to post here all the POM and POQ awards that were given out this past week. I would do all of the POW people that were new, but that would be slightly ridiculous, so I figure you can just click on the awards tab if you want to see the details.

The New POM's
May 2009 - Keiron Moseley
June 2009 - Mickael Smolen
July 2009 - David McPartland
August 2009 - Marc Bas
September 2009 - Robert van Zanten

The New POQ's
2nd Quarter, 2009 - Marc Bas
3rd Quarter, 2009 - James Richards

And for this month, if you were wondering, the July POM goes to Dustin Enders, who finished out the last two weeks of July strong with a cut from #32 --> #12.

The New Players
Two new players this week. What happened to the rush of new competitors?
David Landy joined with a good starting set of couse times. Now all he needs to do is submit his flaps before the Course AF chart might possibly at some point get removed.
Jay Batten joins with the same 32 times. Very good for just joining the site, as he has already mastered the sub 1:10 on LC.

Movement
Other than the newcomers, 44 players were active this week.
Starting in the top 10 #1 Nick Meade's kept playing and pushing further away from the competition. Even though he hit only one new PR, he still showed his power at the top. #4 Marc Bas and #6 Jimmy Benson played enough to retain their places, which was a good thing because #7 Ben Hart stormed in with 7 new PRs. Just making it into the top 10 last week, he wasn't done there. Ben moved up three spots with a 2 point AF cut. Jimmy better watch his back. #9 Alex Shoal unfortunately was a victim of this move, even though he hit a new SR at SGB he couldn't stop from moving down a place.

In the 11-25 range, #11 Dustin Enders is at it again, knocking over another player this week with 7 new PRs. His 2% cut was enough to pass Mick to be within one place of moving up to the top 10 zone. #17 Eric Hacksell and #18 Leif Leopold decided to partner up and moved up two places each. Eric pulled out 7 records and Leif pulled out 18 and a new SR, but they both stayed within breathing distance of each other. A little further down, #23 Tony Ruiz moved past one unlucky karter to try and catch the Hacksell-Leopold Express.

In the top 50 #26 Marvin Rekovsky, #27 Fabien Jacques, and #35 Bob Holden all played but stay in the same posistion. It takes searching to find #44 Stacy Needham, who knocked out 20 PRs and moved up five spots to avoid dropping out of the top 50 group. He even passed #45 Ross Coleman, who played three new records this week and #46 Salvatore Bellusci, who found himself one spot above Stacy but this week is two spots below even though he cut two spots. You have to stay on top of things if you want to even hold ground in the land of MKW.

Reaching the realm of 51-100, they were much more active then usual. Maybe its the satisfaction that you just hit the top 100, but no one ever seems to play here. It's always a great advantage for people like #52 Zane Royal the rMR expert, who dropped 5 PRs, and moved up three places. #54 Gavin Price 1-uped this move (excuse the Mario pun) by sprinting from 62nd place to his current position and putting him in great contention for POW. #60 Paul-Phillip Baehr, #61 Ashley O'Hara, and #62 Joshua Reinshagen almost beat the feat of Eric and Leif above. Joshua and Ashley moved up two places each to catch Paul, who cut two points of AF but didn't move. Maybe they are making preparations to hit the top 50? #69 Sebastian Wimmer doesn't really care if they are or not, all he cares about is the fact that he passed three inactive players with 14 new PRs. #73 Emmanuel Amador takes a 2 point cut to move up a spot and make room for #74 Sophie Steiner, who is trying to take the women's overall title of MKW. Sophie moved up three spots with a nice 8 PRs. #84 Thibaud Bourdeau takes a three spot move, and #90 Luke Berrill knocks away 7 players. Finally #97 Marcus Wood noticed he had three digits after his place and wanted to fix that, moving from #100 up three places. Plus you don't want to be in the next paragraph. No one really reads that paragraph (actually they might even not be reading this one)

In the unread paragraph of 101 and beyond, #127 Noah Gordan cutz ties with the 130s with a nice four place move. Finally #140 Sam Smith moved up two places with 8 new records. Wow this is a short paragraph. I wish I could say something else about it, but no wonder no one reads it. I guess its onto the site records then.

Site Records
This week fared much better than last, with four new site records.
Lee Duggan crushes the old Dry Dry Ruins crs time of 1'49"866 with a time of: 1'49"350
Leif Leopold beat the old Dry Dry Ruins lap time of 0'33"545 with a time of: 0'33"399
Alex Shoal beat the old GBA Shy Guy Beach crs time of 1'22"604 with a time of: 1'22"525
Romain Smadja beat the old GBA Shy Guy Beach lap time of 0'25"325 with a time of: 0'25"287

With ROM's new record, he is now the sole holder of the most site records as Jorge was knocked down to 6.

Also the POW 1 for August will be awarded next update since I want to wait until August 7th to check the stats.

I got everyone who moved up a spot this week....I think. I'm never really sure. If you saw the stats page you'd probably get a headache from the amount of numbers on the screen. So until next week, keep karting!

Wait...Awards?

Webinator @ Tuesday, July 27th 03:24PM [link]

Hey everyone, you're probably wondering what is actually going on and why you don't see the regular picture and name up in the upper-left hand corner. It's me, Zack Weber a.k.a. thewebinator and Lacey agreed to let me help out with some of the updates since he's had the tough job of running them on his own for the last two or so years. So bear with me since it's my first time, and hopefully I won't ruin the fun of news updates for everyone.

Anyway, enough of talking about me and let's get to the actual news that's been happening for the past week.

The New Players
Only two people joining this week, and neither joined the overall AF chart.
Clement Rouchon joined with just the 32 course set of times, and slots in hypothetically somewhere in the 180s.
Andrea Gardina submitted the same 32 records and at the same pace would land around 290th place.

Movement
Following #1 Nick Meade's reclaiming of the site title from #2 Jorge Hernandez, he tried to push further ahead by submitting two PRs, however gained no ground. Moving down the charts to reach the next active player we hit #6 Jimmy Benson, who is still trying to break into the elite group known as the top five. He knocked out five PRs and cut about one AF point, but he still needs to kart down 8 more AF points before he can reach #5 Shaun Tanney. #8 Alex Shoal played as well but stayed in virtually the exact same position. Rounding out the top 10 we have a newcomer as #10 Ben Hart flipped past previous champ Alvin van Asselt and Mickael Smolen with 5 PRs to reach the coveted pedestal.

Moving down the charts to the top 25 we don't have to go far to hit #12 Dustin Enders, who shocked the world by hitting a massive 44 PRs and moving from #34 to sitting right outside the top 10. With this move he knocked out 27 AF points and came within inches of becoming MKW elite. Moving further, #16 Alvin Le and #22 Jamie Disley, both played but Alvin dropped back a spot and Jamie stayed in place. Such are the curses of the MKW treadmill of horror.

Top 50 time, a lot of players were playing in this range. #35 Bob Holden #37 Max Anossow #39 Ricardo Costa all kind of moved together, each gaining one, three, and five spots respectively and crushing some more players. Similarly #42 Oliver Martin #43 Henrik Distel #45 Ross Coleman decide to pick up on the "moving in threes" trend with the first two gaining a place to stay together and Ross pushing past five players to solidify himself a place in the top 50. Finally #50 Franco Gubser can pride himself on the fact that he is in another elite group and can move up to the next paragraph for news updating, as he moved up two spots with his 6 PRs, one of which happened to be a new site record.

Next is the 51-100 group, who only had only had six players playing in total. Good news for those six, keep playing and you'll pass some inactive players. #55 Zane Royal and #56 Nate Paternost both cut off some AF, with Zane playing enough to hold a two point AF lead over Nate, who jumped two players to land behind him. Another pair emerges a litte while down. #63 Ashley O'Hara and #64 Joshua Reinshagen both played, with very different outcomes. Ashley PRed three times and cut four spots, which is an impressive feat especially because one of the PRs was a site record. I really wish I could cut a place for each PR I hit. Joshua tops that feat by breaking into the Top 100 all the way from #121 with his 53 PRs. An impressive move for him as he hopes to climb further into the mix. #70 Lars Riecken tried to follow Joshua after he saw that great move, coming from #94 to #70 with 21 PRs, again over a place per PR.

In other news, also known as the below the 100 zone, #116 Dexter Howe PRed once, but dropped a spot. #135 Ryan Trovillion moved up one spot with his two PRs. If he keeps playing he should vault a few spots with the general inactivity of the "Below 100th group". #137 Zack Weber gained a spot with one PR but lost AF, which makes no sense, but again this is MKW. Moving much much further down to the 300s range, we find the next active player in #330 Kristopher Lamp, who moved up two spots with 56 PRs, which is really depressing but it can be overcome. The only thing I can say is keep watching videos and karting so you can move away from the 300s and come further up the charts!

Site Records
A quiet week in the site records world for everyone two players who improved their own records.
Fabien Jacques beat his own old Maple Treeway flap time of 44"665 with a time of: 44"648
Ashley O'Hara beat his own old GCN Peach Beach crs time of 1'13"347 with a time of: 1'13"331

Awards
Well this is suprising. From now on I'm going to try to see if we can get some awards going. For now the old awards will have to be on hold until I decide to fish through the stats program but the current ones can at least be decided. Each week or so I'll keep going backwards and grab 3 or 4 POWs and a POM or so until all of the awards can be decided.

The July 2010 Week 4 Record goes to Dustin Enders, for his impressive cut at such a high rank. With a huge 27 AF point cut he doesn't need much more to hit the top 10.

On top of this I decided to check back for last week, and the July 2010 Week 3 Record goes to Yannick Wenger, for a 25% AF Cut and a huge jump in the standings all the way from #72 --> #46.

Well that's it. Thanks for reading, I hope it wasn't too painful. Please offer me comments and suggestions on how to improve since I'm still new at this.

Last Contest Update

Shadow @ Thursday, July 22nd 05:21PM [link]

It's the last few days of the contest. No crazy pictures this time.
Just wanted to thank you guys for the awesome support you've given me through the contest so far. It's good to feel that the news updates I write here are appreciated, even if they go surreal sometimes. Thanks, it means a lot, and keep up the great karting!

Castle

Shadow @ Tuesday, July 20th 01:10PM [link]

As you stroll along a lonely road, you notice a castle in distance. A couple of confusing signs give you the impression that the castle is also home to a dam of some sort, and owned by a guy called Ned. On closer inspection, you feel you're about to stumble across a giant game of connect 4. You decide to check it out...

The castle seems to have an enormous number of rooms. A passerby gives you some more information about them.
"The castle always has the exact number of rooms needed for the number of guests staying in it. The rooms with green lights are there to welcome new guests. The rooms with bright yellow lights are for those people upgrading to better rooms. The dimmer lights indicate some activity in that particular room, and where it's black, the person in the room is asleep."
What an interesting castle....

Movement
I alluded to this in the half-update of tininess, but Nick Meade has reclaimed the top spot, having lost it briefly to Jorge a few weeks ago. A solid 10 PRs took his AF down half a point. 4 other players played in the top 10. #4 Marc Bas lost a little ground, but took the top spot at Koopa Cape lap. #5 Shaun Tanney went on a massive PR blitz, taking down 18 times and gaining an AF point, but the limbo ground between 4th and 6th is over 10 AF spots wide. #10 Mickael Smolen only PR'd once, but did enough to leapfrog Alvin to break into the top 10, and knock Alvin out for the first time in 10 years.

Outside the top 10, #12 Ben Hart took Mickael's advice and PR'd once, and passed Daniel Anderson. #8 Alex Shoal, #16 Alvin Le, #22 Jamie Disley and #25 Fabien Jacques got 5 PRs between them, but didn't pass anyone. They'll be paying more attention to the Mickael guide for "minimal effort, maximum gain" next time out.

At #27 we have a new player, which is hugely impressive, as most people join further down the top 100, and most join outside it. Welcome to #27 Marvin Rekovsky. Someone who has been here quite a lot longer, is LC specialist #29 James Pierrepont. His 10 PRs bring him up 4 spots, and into the top 30. #36 Bob Holden got a lot closer to Lewis Benny this time out. Next time out, he'll be hoping to be further away from him, and past him. #40 Max Anossow does enough to move into the top 40 with 14 PRs, and a nice AF cut.

Next we get to #46 Yannick Wenger, who was confused with Yannick Wiesner for a while, and whose PRs got intermingled. I'm still not sure if everything is back to normal. So if you're both reading this, check your profiles to make sure you've got the right times, and submit the correct versions if not. Anyway, Yannick passed 24 players with his 42 PRs, including the other Yannick, and put his personal stamp on the top 50. Nice job! #48 Salvatore Bellusci also put in a nice performance to break the top 50. He's up 3 spots this time out. Rounding out the top 50 is #50 Ross Coleman, who exactly nails it by climbing up 2 spots from #52. The top 50 is now officially cool, as you're all better than one time mkwii legend Michael Fried.

As we fall into the latter section of the top 100, #70 Sebastian Wimmer makes a nice move of 4 places, passing #71 Jon Coppernoll who in turn moves up a place from last time out. #72 Emmanuel Amador loses out this week, but is still in touching distance of both. Then we come to 3 players who have all made an appearance for the first time on the AF chart, and all break into the top 100 to do it. Congrats and welcome go to #81 Artur Bauer, #89 Stefan Nunner and #94 Lars Riecken. A success story now, as #97 Luke Berrill overcomes just barely missing out last time, and breaks into the top 100, even with 3 new players appearing just above him. Now begins the difficult job of staying here! #100 Martin Prigent rounds out the top 100, doing enough to stay out of the clutches of the ravenous top 200 crowd. They need to learn how to order room service!

Outside the top 100, only a few people gained any places. #132 Noah Gordon is up one spot. #142 Sam Smith is up a very impressive 15 places, and 197 Michael Timpe breaks into the top 200, by passing 6 players.

New Records
Just the 2 Site records this week:
Marc Bas beat the old Koopa Cape lap time of 0'44"639 with a time of: 0'44"404
Aziz Abdullah beat the old GBA Shy Guy Beach crs time of 1'22"608 with a time of: 1'22"604

New Players
Welcome to: Artur Bauer, Marvin Rekovsky, Robin Cheah, Ruben Darío, Robert Bonomo, Stefan Nunner, Darius

I hope you like it in the castle, because once you check in, you can never leave...

The Nick of Times

Shadow @ Thursday, July 15th 05:14AM [link]

This is just an in-between update to mention a few things:

1) Congrats to Nick for becoming #1 again so quickly. No matter what universe he's in, that guy delivers the goods.
2) Thanks to Zack for getting some movement on the awards front, which netted David the 2009 POY!
3) On the awards situation. We have stats on every day an update is done, which means that the only weeks we are missing are weeks where no times update was done at all. That means we should be able to fill in the gaps at some point, but it'll be a long undertaking.
4) There'll be a contest update in a few days, along with a proper news update.

The Multiverse

Shadow @ Saturday, July 10th 04:38AM [link]

Sometimes in life you can find yourself wondering what universe you've landed in. The simple act of making a choice can have vast and untold consequences. So with that in mind...

Universe 1
#1 Nick Meade pulls further ahead of David with 15 new PRs. The gap opens up to 5.3 AF points which is the biggest gap between 1st and 2nd that we've seen in quite some time. #6 Tyler McNell moves up a spot and leapfrogs Alex Shoal with 7 nice times, closing in on the top 5. And finally, #10 Mickael Smolen makes a great run to the top 10, moving up from 15th spot with 15 PRs of his own.

Universe 2
Congratulations to our new site champion Jorge Hernandez! Jorge joined with the most impressive set of times we've seen so far, displacing Nick at the top of the chart, and pushing the entire field down a place. The only person in the top 10 not to lose a place was, #7 Tyler McNell who stayed where he was due to passing Alex. The top 10 remained unchanged apart from that. Closing in on the top 10 this update is #11 Mickael Smolen, who improved nearly a quarter of his times and moved up 4 spots. He's within touching distance of Alvin and the top 10 now.

Opening the box
Like the fate of Schroedinger's cat, when I open the box one of the possible universes will be solidified, and the other discarded. For the sake of not making the entire update a double one, we'll assume that the cat is alive, and that Jorge's times will stand after his live streaming. The rest of the update will be written from universe 2. It's a nice universe. We have jello.

Movement
Some people don't like this universe very much. For starters, everyone gets bumped down one spot, and for seconders, there's a strange smell. One person who finds the universe a bit confusing is #15 Mark Schmidt, who improved his AF in universe 1, but lost 2 places in universe 2. What a cruel place it can be. Quite a few people managed to maintain their places in the top 25 though, even with the automatic demotion. #18 Eric Hacksell, #22 Jamie Disley and #23 Tony Ruiz were successful in their battle against the tide. They also brought their surfboards, to ride the cosmic waves.

In actual impressive news, regardless of jello or surfing, or other mad irrelevant ramblings, #35 Bob Holden makes a fantastic move. He's up from 45th last time out, and a great 36 PR haul reaps him great rewards. He's just 1 spot behind ex-champ Lewis Benny now. After that, a trio of players make some great moves. #42 Daniel Boettcher is up from 51st, breaking into the top 50 with 18 PRs. #43 Ricardo Costa moves up nicely from 49th with 18 of his own, and #44 David Long, improves over half his times, and makes a 12 place move this update. Very nicely done to all 3, and it will be interesting to see who pushes on into the top 40 now.

The next few players may be outside the top 50 for now, but they're looking like they won't stay there for too much longer. #51 Salvatore Bellusci improves 24 of his times, and is now just a few AF away from a group of players in the late 40s. #53 Zane Royal's 8 place move puts him just a couple of AF behind Salvatore. #56 Nate Paternost posts a 21 PR haul, to move him up 4 spots, while #58 Paul-Philipp Baehr moves up a full 13 places from 71st. Those 4 players had 98 PRs between them.

Further down the list, #64 Yannick Wiesner continues his good run of form. He was up 13 places last time out, and is up a further 11 places this time. #68 Emmanuel Amador appears at a very respectable top 100 position on the AF chart after sending in his full set of times. #74 Sebastian Wimmer shows Hendrik who's the boss, passing him and 2 other players. Irish champion #76 Fintan Kelly destroys any hopes I might have had of ever getting back the #1 spot, by climbing 22 places with 25 strong PRs. #82 Thibaud Bourdeau also put in a great performance, and is up from 92nd spot, solidifying his place in the top 100 for a long while to come. #95 Martin Prigent battles to maintain his own place, up from 97th, despite the automatic demotions from players appearing ahead of him. Finally, the unluckiest person on the list has to be #101 Luke Berrill. Luke easily made the top 100 in the other universe, but in this one, he's left in the most painful place on the chart.

Site Records
