Whenever 5 road teams have the better record you know it's gonna be a dramatic week. Scores are all over the place, some excellent, some disastrous, but there can be only one winner and this week it's guamster who got 5 of the games right and bet low on the other two. He finishes well out in front and jumps 5 spots, landing in the first division. Also breaking 200 with a stellar week is soccertom, who remarkably leaps 4 spots to a record high of #3. Like guamster, he correctly picked Chicago as the X-Factor. Coming in third but grinning like Bob the Enzyte guy is NoSix, who leaves the rest of the top six in the dust this week, threatening to make a mockery of the competition. "El Chupacabra" feeds off the goats again. Tactics remains difficult to dislodge from the top 10, an excellent 173 is good for a two spot hop to #7. Tactics feasted upon roast goat as well. Meanwhile firefan2001 continues the long journey to division one with an excellent 5th place finish, riding the Fire to victory. Play of the Week goes to Quango, for excessive levels of goat-consumption. He just misses out on the top five, but still posts an excellent score and hops two spots to #11, less than a hundred points out of the exclusive top 10 club. The race for top 5 Champions League positions intensifies as we now have 7 players within ~200 points of 2nd and there's not enough room for all of them. Meanwhile Crewbasher's big week lands him in division one along with guamster as competition heats up on all fronts. The administrator has climbed from 27th to 2nd, but is it too late to challenge for the the title? Is jlo's streak of top 5 finishes in jeopardy? Has soccertom stolen his mojo? Have we seen the last of the "Next Week's Action" gang? Will another prominant poster go missing? And who is the mysterious Tactics? Tune in next week! You can't stop the excitement! *FAQ and your remaining bets are available on the WPL status page.* ____________________________________________________________ Play Of The Week: Quango, for the bet of 126 on CLB over CVS Weekly Cup: 1 guamster 274.198 2 soccertom 201.522 3 NoSix 177.002 4 Tactics 173.492 5 firefan2001 145.758 Code: [b]Division 1[/b] [b][i]Rank Prev Name Perf/yr Perf/wk Bet Won[/i][/b] 1 1 NoSix 927.41 177.00 667 678 2 4 dred 586.63 69.67 621 528 3 7 soccertom 520.61 201.52 457 512 4 2 tab5g 437.33 -189.07 748 394.75 5 5 BulaJacket 412.20 -29.48 538 348.5 6 3 jlo 409.25 -128.97 846 516.25 7 9 Tactics 382.73 173.49 789 767.75 8 6 IASocFan 374.27 -12.59 576 402.25 9 8 MouseyTongue 301.12 17.82 786 608 10 10 equakesfan 192.68 56.89 517 434.25 11 13 Quango 106.85 135.76 663 635.75 12 12 Revolt -21.05 0.82 814 615 13 11 BenC1357 -35.39 -16.15 841 643 14 15 OGx3 -38.25 11.97 646 518.75 15 16 Northside Rovers-42.24 15.06 989 796 16 19 Greywacke -124.19 96.14 946 836.5 17 17 Robert Lanza -158.67 -42.01 827 597 18 23 guamster -201.52 274.20 683 794 19 22 Crewbasher -265.43 131.98 588 571.75 20 14 sljohn -381.89 -339.68 1036 485.25 [b]Division 2[/b] [b][i]Rank Prev Name Perf/yr Perf/wk Bet Won[/i][/b] 21 21 FlashMan -414.41 -67.68 811 544 22 20 bilfish -497.53 -171.82 860 493 23 24 Qdog -633.60 -156.77 732 388.5 24 25 Scribe -641.24 -10.09 773 567.5 25 26 Saeyddthe -685.41 104.55 475 430 26 18 KCWiz -805.82 -656.31 875 0 27 28 DamonEsquire -827.70 66.19 546 452.25 28 31 firefan2001 -1,097.11 145.76 889 822 29 30 jackrock -1,332.18 -132.21 804 474.75 30 27 Jose L.
