| Movement #10 Milan Pacino keeps the AF activity going in the top ten this week with a new time on TTC. He improved his 3lap to 1'34"250 Myth C which cut 0.1094 points off his AF. He's been slowly moving closer to #9 Michele Magnaterra who is still a good two and a half AF points ahead while keeping his distance from #11 Abel Marques for that beloved UK crown. Still Myth C overall, Milan has some ways to go yet before moving up in ARR as well. Next up is #19 Lenny Andreev who came up with some big times to move him into the top 20 on non-prb and Myth D overall thanks to a big 3 point AF cut. He's also ranked #19 on the prb charts now. It was quite a good mix of times from Lenny getting DS 3lap 1'33"140 Titan A, BC flap 37"166 Myth C, PC flap 18"033 Myth A, LC2 flap 25"975 Titan A, CI2 flap 15"943 Myth D, DKP 3lap 1'50"827 Titan D, and flap 35"600 Myth E. Once Lenny evens out his other times, he too can be a threat for a position in the top ten. It may be winter here but the competition continues to fire up in the land down under. Around the top 30 area were a trio of active players, #28 Zach Sterling, #32 Joep van Gelder, and #36 Dallas Wilde. Zach improved a variety of times like CI2 3lap 49"592 Myth E and PG 3lap 1'29"420 Myth E. Despite coming up with a 1.2188 AF point cut, he was not able to move up on the charts since most people around here are well spaced. Joep is on the move as well scoring a few new times himself like KB2 flap 13"604 Titan B, PC flap 18"325 Titan C, CI2 3lap 50"092 Titan B, and flap 16"124 Titan B. Like Zach, Joep was stuck in the mud too not going anywhere with his 1 point AF cut. He does not have much more to go though before reaching the top 30 himself and Titan A overall. Dallas is back in his usual fashion coming up with a big 3 point AF cut which moved him up 5 places and reached Titan B overall. Just like past updates, I can't list all his new pr's without writing a huge essay cluttered with digits everywhere so suffice to say, he tore shit up. A lot of good work on those longer tracks like BC, WP, SR, and he got another God time with KB2 flap 13"399. Dallas is only second to #8 Cole Gilbert in all of Canada now while #38 Jeff Ferencz-Nagy holds unto those honors on the prb side for now. Getting a new DS can do wonders in this game and given the high broken buttons and d-pads that mkds can inflict, I'm sure this is on a few people's wish list. Farther down, #72 David Roldan went on a pr frenzy cutting 13 points off his AF. He jumped over 20 players racing from Hero C to Hero B overall in the process! Like Dallas, too many pr's to list but he did grab a CR on MC1 prb 3lap with 39"361. As David continues to balance his times out, we are sure to see him keep flying up the ranks at this kind of pace, great stuff! Finishing off the top 100 is Dallas' partner in crime, #81 Ben Sackville who moved up a couple places with his new times this week. He is on his way to Hero B overall making some solid improvements on SR and WS. Lucky me, that's all the players making some AF cuts this week. No one likes a big wall of text. Happy Holidays and we'll cya next year!!! Movement outside the top 100 included #126 Robert Lee -20.8120, #129 Haddon Power-Cohen -2.7660, #134 Stefano Piazza -0.4540, #170 Austin Gates -2.3740, #173 Alvin van Asselt -5.3750, #178 Richard Penkalla -4.9380, #200 Nicholas Harvey -16.5630, #213 Leonelli Wilker -16.7810, #244 Daniel Pabst -5.3430, #246 Louis Nebout -31.4370, #381 Jose Karica -4.1710, #413 Pedro Fonseca -18.2810, #546 Zack Weber -6.0630, and #588 Sam Lee -12.2470. New Records There was 1 WR improved (blue) and one non-prb time (pink). As you may have already seen, Thomas Bolton made yet another return to DKP where Ben took the 3lap record last week. While we may have to wait for the sub here, Thomas did reclaim it once more with a slightly faster time of 1'44"603, live replay. For Non-PRB, same as above. Awards Quite a busy week for some players but the largest cuts come from a recent player to the top 100. Taking more than 10% off his AF, passing 20 players, and going Hero C to Hero B, David Roldan wins the POW for the third week of December! Dolphins in the playoffs?!?!?  ~ETCH |
