| 22 April 2007: "'PRs', 'greetz', '...'" |
|---|
| Movement #6 Marijn Jongbloed and #7 Jean-Christophe Lacastaignerate both improved a little bit, scoring a couple of PRs each. The cuts were small, but it's good that the players are active. Marijn may pass #5 Vincent van der Fluit by the next update... #9 Konsta Jukka also made a small AF cut, after scoring 4 PRs (3 God). He passed #10 Raphael Segas for a single-digit position! #7 Jean-Christophe and #8 Marius Mollenhauer are just around the corner. #15 Bo Garman, #22 Marc Schwartz and #30 Andrew Math all had small improvements, but didn't quite manage to pass new players. Bo did get a new title, however -- Myth B. #37 Alex Hantson had yet another solid week, this time scoring 9 PRs for a 4.2 AF cut. He passed three players with this (#38 Kyle, #39 Jean, #40 Andre), but he still has some work to do in becoming the best 'Alex', for #27 Alejandro Hernandez is more than 10 AF pts ahead. Alex's PRs included two God times on the 'obvious' levels (BP/PB laps), but also some Myth scores. He became a Titan A, too! #46 Kevin Borne passed fellow Frenchman Jonathan Eyma and is just one spot behind former champion David Grard. Kevin had a big week of 16 PRs, and his 6.6 pt AF cut got him past 8 players. His victims included #50 Steven Zwartjes, #52 Stefan Baczynsky, #53 Andre Overesch and #54 Martin Rudmarker. Apart from breaking the top-50, Kevin also became Titan B! #55 Matt Tanzer reported 4 new PRs that included 2x Myth D on Baby Park. He passed three players with his 3.0 AF cut. Matt is now up against the same set of players that Kevin Borne passed, but in order to reach just 50th spot, he will need an even smaller AF cut that he had this week. Americans #86 Andres Oliveira dos Santos and #90 Scott Abbey are having a small battle in the Hero region. Scott passed Andres in ARR, but Andres put a few players between him and Scott (for now). Scott's latest PRs include a Titan+ lap. Andres prefers consistency and has low Hero times on almost every course. Scott is training himself for goods psych-outs and, noticing this, suggested that Andres drives as fast as a cyclist. We'll see how Andres responds to these allegations. #95 Kevin Sirman pushed #100 John Hornick back to a 3-digit rank following a 3.3pt AF cut and a passing of 6 players en route to reaching the top-100. Kevin's PRs included his first Titan C score, and he became a Hero B overall. #137 Andrew Manning passed rival #140 Alessandra Martinelli, and currently has 21 rivalry records to his name. Alessandra still has a faster total time for laps, indicating that Andrew's strength is in course times rather than lap times. Both players are close on rivalry AF and ARR. Alessandra hasn't reported new PRs for 7 days now, and may have some in queue. #153 Andrew Johnson is still well in it, passing 4 players on the ladder. #262 Ryan Stevens was the big mover of the week, narrowly passing the century with a 104pt AF cut. With 22 PRs in hand, the recently added player made this week count. He started at 399th two weeks ago. He skipped Adv A to go straight to Expert D, and he's already scored his first Hero time. Another player who reached Expert D was #275 Jeremy Garcia, who passed 10 players (including karting powerhouse #276 Sami Cetin). #355 Mark Engelsman cut one AF pt for each of the 23 players he passed this week. He also made it to Adv B. The other most active player in the region, Canada's #414 Julien Cloutier-Brassard, had a similar 29pt AF cut, passing 27 players. Honourable mentions: #200 Jeremy Huang (200th), #244 Patrick Hewson (Exp C), #548 Alvaro Fababu (full timesheet and ladder debut; Int C) New Records No new records. New Players Welcome to... Kameron Chastain, USA (538th, Int B) I assume that Kam is Rob's younger brother. |
