| Movement Only two players were active inside the top 10 this week, both being at the end half of it. #7 Cole Gilbert scored only 2 PRs for a .1250 AF cut, which closed the gap between him and #6 Nick Welch to only .6 AF points. Then there was #9 Ben Stoneman, who PRed for the first time in quite awhile. His 5 PRs resulted in a .2 AF cut, but he still has a way to go before he catches #8 Josh Griffin, who is .8 AF points ahead of him. The only other two players active in the top 20 were #12 Kevin McAteer and #16 Nicola Gatti. Kevin had a .1406 AF cut from 3 PRs, including a 30"917 Myth D LM flap. Nicola went on a nice run this week, getting a 1.1250 AF cut from 6 PRs. He also scored his first God time, that being MC1 flap, with a time of 13"321. Next active was around the edge of the top 30, where #31 Jeffrey Gutierrez put on a show this week with a 6.4 AF cut to pass 4 players, and had a .8 ARR cut to become the newest Titan D player. He would have reached the top 30 if it wasn't for #30 Nicolas Barco, who was also active with a small .6 AF cut, just enough to keep Jeffrey behind. Not far behind them was #34 Michele Magnaterra, who had a 3.4531 AF cut to pass 4 players, including rival #35 Ted Kim. Finishing off the top 50 was #42 Matthew Ord, who had just a 2.3594 AF cut. A trio of Nsiders in the mid-hero area were active, which were #62 Egg Zip -2.4376, #70 Armando Cobian -7.5625, and #73 Dillon Jones -2.3438. However, Armando was the only one with a rank promotion, reaching Hero C with a .7 ARR cut. The others fell just a bit short of one, but should make it next week with a similar performance. Finishing off the top 100 were #87 Pol Gonzalez, #90 Salvador Viscarra, and #94 Chuck Foster. They had respective AF cuts of 4.4845, 2.0780 and 3.3750. Salvador became the newest Hero player, while the other two are still stuck at Expert A. Movement outside the topp 100 included #113 Adam Leibach -2.4060 (#35 USA), #115 Pierre Signamarcheix -1.2960 (#18 France, Expert C to Expert B), #129 Matthieu Van Reet -3.4210 (#4 Belgium), #157 Tom Webb -17.4220 (#11 Canada, Advanced A to Expert E), #176 Martin Morissette -2.5160 (#15 Canada), #194 Gary Black -5.8130 (#17 UK, joins top 200), #243 Alencar Faria -6.8130 (Brazilian Champ, joins top 250), #270 Nies Romain -7.5780 (#45 France), #334 Donny Colpa -40.5000 (#27 Netherlands, Intermediate D to Intermediate B and joins top 350), #341 Scott Kaforey -5.3280 (#116 USA, joins top 350), #405 Warren Macready -22.6240 (#39 UK, Beginner A to Intermediate E), #440 Zack Serrot -4.2810 (#158 USA), #461 Kevin Pirrhyn -13.2050 (#11 Belgium, Beginner D to Beginner C) and #474 Matthew Shadrick -6.0470 (#172 USA). New Records No new records this week. Awards He made a big comeback to time trials this week, playing a lot for the first time since February. He cut over 15% off his AF to reach the edge of the top 30. He also cut about 8% of his ARR and became Titan D overall. For his nice cuts, Jeffrey Gutierrez wins POW for the first week of August, good work! Where are the WRs? ~Kmacc |
