    Well, so much for the season winding down gradually. Huge upsets this week, and lots of movement in the WPL.
    Weekly Cup goes to the man on a mission, firefan2001, who has gone from the very bottom of the third division to the threshold of the top flight. He's less than 60 points away.
    He correctly guessed 3 of the 4 road upsets and bet over 100 on them, and hedged a bit on Chivas. All in all a masterpiece.
    2nd place goes to guamster, who also turned in a tremendous performance, betting huge on the road Quakes and United, and hedging in the KC match. his 86 puts him just 30 points below sea level, and 5 spots out of the top 10.
    Our only other positive finisher is third place OGx3, who correctly guessed SJE, DCU, and CHI, although he lowballed SJE. This outstanding performance leaves him at #11, only 90 points from the top 10.
    Perhaps the biggest story is 4th place Tactics, who goes from 6th to a virtual tie for 2nd. The big decisions were going with the road Quakes and United. Looks like a dogfight for 2nd as soccertom, who appeared to be in jeopardy with so many lowballs left, is probably happy to have them now.
    Rounding out our top 5 is another big winner, Qdog, who re-passes rival Flashman for the final div 1 spot. Qdog picked the right week to low-roll.
    Play of the Week goes unsurprisingly to jackrock, who bet heavily on they-who-must-not-be-bet-on. Had RSL held on, he probably would have won the Weekly Cup as he guessed most of the upsets.
    With the exception of the top spot, the races for accolades could hardly be closer, and next week promises to be another blockbuster with 9 games including 4 on wednesday.
    Good luck!
    *FAQ and your remaining bets are available on the WPL status page.*
