Many thanks to Chall<\/a> and ScientistMother<\/a> for hosting Weeks 17 and 18, respectively!<\/p>\n

I messed up a bit by thinking Ricardipus had signed up for Week 19, but he hadn’t – he’d just said that he could do it “some time soon” – so this is a double update! I’ve now added a list of who’s doing which weeks to the spreadsheet, so if you haven’t hosted for a while please mozy on over and sign up for a week in February or March (Ricardipus, I’ve already signed you up for next week, but feel free to change that if needed).<\/p>\n

Right, the update:<\/p>\n

\"week1920\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(I’ve hit my allotted upload limit here on OT, so I had to do this via Flickr and for some reason it’s put the graph on a grey background. But I’m doing this on my lunchbreak, sandwich in hand, so I don’t have time to fix it – sorry!)<\/p>\n

Well, my run at the top came to an end in week 20, as my puck<\/del> pick luck deserted me and Modscientist leapfrogged ahead with a very strong weekly showing. Ricardipus also did well in both weeks, almost catching me, and Lavaland kept up the pressure in fourth place. It’s still incredibly tight in this top group, and the leader of the pool seems to change almost daily!<\/p>\n

Gerty is still all alone between the two main groups, doing consistently well and trying her hardest to pull away from the bottom five! In that trailing group ScientistMother and Mr E Man are almost neck and neck in 6th and 7th places, while Beth and Bob continue to trade places in their race for the bottom<\/del> to be the most efficient player (i.e. the one who survives on the fewest points per week). Chall had a poor week in week 19, but has picked up since then and remains in 8th place.<\/p>\n

It’s still a long way until the final game of the regular season on April 7th! Anything could happen!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
