Nice win, Riggs. Tightest group of middle 50% yet. Really like the candle chart.

Once the rows with no data drop off, the chart won't have to scale 100 to 0 on the Y axis, so each candle will be bigger if you will, letting you see differences that much more closely.

9 people at 87.**% after the estimates. A lot of close predicting.

Definitive win from DP07.

Spread keeps tightening every week. Good stuff.

Thanks. :) After awful opener results all Jan I finally crushed them by following the online buzz numbers, which I'm beginning to think are more reliable than tracking.

I'm still far behind Scott, but at least I'm on the board.

Good win.

Agreed, a lot of the tracking has been pretty far off this year.

Congrats DP07. Finals turned out good for me. I usually always drop a lot with finals, this time I went from #16 with estimates to #8 with finals. Woho, my first TOP 10 :)

I predicted way too conservatively this weekend. Boo

Do not want to sound pessimistic but Number of players declines with every week.

I'm still happy with the number of players. The decline is somewhat expected: Users play when it first starts, drop off because they really don't care, those that enjoy the derby stick around.

If we can stabilize around 30, then it becomes our job to grow the game outside of WoKJ. That's our challenge.

Damn, xiayun has a 5% lead based on estimates. Obviously estimates are very subject to change, but I don't think I've seen someone pull away with such a lead based on initial estimates thus far. Jumped out at me.

Highest derby score this year for me! I was right on the nose on some holdovers especially Safe House and This Means War (nearly 100% accurate)

Special congrats to top 3 for pulling away from the pack, particularly xiayun.

Derby game is really needing a game index now.

Eh, xiayun is one of those math types. No surprise he did well.

My strong showing is the real story.
