| Movement The battle for the UK crown continues with #10 Milan Pacino and #11 Abel Marques going at it this week. Milan was able to do enough this week to hold off Abel for now, cutting 0.3594 AF to keep nearly a half point lead over Abel. Milan's only four PRs were WP flap 39"682 Myth B, MMF 3lap 1'04"380, and MB 1'11"027 Myth C + 23"319 Myth A. Although Abel wasn't able to pass Milan this week, his 0.9532 AF cut helped to bring him into closer striking distance to pass Milan. Abel's cut was over twice as large with just three PRs from it, which were PC 3lap 55"832 Myth C, CI2 3lap 49"619 Myth E, and SG 3lap 1'09"388 Myth B. Since Abel's timesheet isn't very balanced, it'll be easier for him to make larger cuts off of less PRs. With 2008 soon coming to a close, it'll be an interesting battle to watch down the stretch to see if Abel can take the crown as well as place himself in the top 10 for nonprb. In ARR, both players are making strong progress towards Myth B overall, another possible goal for them before the year is up. The only other activity inside the top 100 happened in the 30's area. #30 Zach Sterling led the way with a .1250 AF cut off a single PR, which came on TTC flap with 30"980 Titan A. For now, Zach was able to hold off #31 Pol Gonzalez, who cut a slightly bigger 0.2031 to inch his way towards Zach and a top 30 spot. Both of those players need to watch out for #32 Joep van Gelder though. Although he took it wasy this week with just two PRs on SG, he still managed a 0.7188 AF cut and doesn't seem like he'll be slowing down much any time soon. The last active player was #36 Sean Dyer, who after over a year of inactivity got a 0.1718 AF cut off of just one PR, that being a strong LM flap of 30"571 God. For PRBers only, #13 Marshall LeVett hit a 6th ranked LC1 3lap of 1'11"287 to cut 0.1719 AF but moved nowhere. #28 Carlos Munoz cut a nice 0.6719 to move dangerously close to Pol Gonzalez on that chart for Spain Champion. Another week like this for Carlos could get him the PRB crown, but he still has a ways to go on the nonprb chart where he trails Pol by twenty seven spots. Movement outside the top 100 included #113 Andrew Mao -11.3750, #165 Robert Lee -2.1880, #180 Florian Valandina -0.7660, #187 Richard Penkalla -5.3280, #232 Nicholas Harvey -16.8120, #242 Leonelli Wilker -8.8340, #400 Drew Semelsberger -7.0470, #436 Pierre Kirner -3.3280, #441 Daniel Sampson -15.7970 and #558 Zack Weber -3.9060. New Records There were 2 WR's improved (blue) and no non-prb times (pink). After adding his name to the WR charts last week on the Dokan Course, David Roldan did again. This time he took the 3lap away from Kizuna, hitting a 1'23"628. The other record came on WS sc 3lap, where Giulio Centrone cut nearly a second off of his time to land very close to a sub, down to 1'52"023, beating BDash's nearly year old record by "15. Awards It may have been a very slow week, but this player still had a great week. He moved up twelve spots, and became the Hero player overall. If he continues like he is, he should make the top 100 in no time. For his strong efforts and good cuts, Andrew Mao wins the POW for the first week of December! ~Kmacc |
