| 01 January 2006: "Happy New Year!" |
|---|
| Well here's the first update of 2006: #1 Michael Fried continued to do the same thing this week. He sent a lot of PRs and tried to maintain his world record count. He sits at 38 World Records at the moment with an AF score of 1.53. Michael's attempts to maintain #1 have been really impressive and he's been awarded the December 2005 Player of the Month award and the 2005 Player of the 4th quarter award. We will not have a "2005 Player of the Year" award. #2 Matt Flees put some distance on his rivals this week. He managed a deceiving 0.4 AF cut. This 0.4 AF cut actually is more like an AF cut of 2 and an AF loss of 1.6 due to competition. He did a lot of work and his rivals weren't able to keep up with the competition. He has a lead of 2.5 AF points over 3rd place. Matt is our Player of the Week. #3 Miguel Rodriguez has been extremely impressive since joining the site a few weeks ago. He cut 5.25 off his AF score this week and passed a bunch of players. #8 Koen de Wilt was active this week and cut a few places on the charts with a 2.2 AF jump. #15 Sami Cetin, of Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart 64 fame, is starting to show us his skills. He cut 6.8 AF points this week and cracked the top 20. He's also the UK site champion. Big cuts were also made by #26 Emmanuel Debenest (-11.3), #34 Richard Karlsson (-91.2!!!), #43 Simon Laflamme (-29.8), and #50 Brock Courville (-12.7). One note about the world records that are constantly being set. There's been a ton of action on Donut Plains 1 in the past 3 days, with 11 world records being set by Vincent Zee, Michael Fried, Arnaud Teil, and Wittner David. If you'd like to see what's been going on in the WR department, go to the World Records page and click on the WR history link at the bottom. I'm going to add a page that lists the World Records set in the last 7 days as well so that I'll be able to make better news updates in the future. |
