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.* ____________________________________________________________ Play Of The Week: jackrock, for the bet of 135 on CVS over CLB Weekly Cup: 1 firefan2001 141.252 2 guamster 86.61601 3 OGx3 39.45399 4 Tactics -61.54799 5 Qdog -73.06599 Code: [b]Division 1[/b] [b][i]Rank Prev Name Perf/yr Perf/wk Bet Won[/i][/b] 1 1 NoSix 1,212.41 -226.39 693 310 2 4 soccertom 679.93 -140.71 591 314 3 6 Tactics 679.54 -61.55 697 467.75 4 2 IASocFan 633.39 -325.06 802 302 5 3 tab5g 557.66 -342.12 828 347 6 9 equakesfan 475.61 -117.44 475 237.25 7 7 dred 443.15 -285.94 768 337 8 5 jlo 396.88 -406.28 891 314 9 8 BulaJacket 379.76 -213.64 345 0 10 11 MouseyTongue 224.22 -265.87 801 376.5 11 15 OGx3 136.17 39.45 570 459.75 12 12 Quango 49.98 -295.09 795 347 13 13 BenC1357 23.90 -188.60 633 295 14 10 Revolt 8.34 -506.62 693 0 15 19 guamster -30.09 86.62 817 750.25 16 18 sljohn -113.77 -137.29 657 364.5 17 17 Greywacke -163.62 -227.55 868 459.25 18 16 Robert Lanza -300.67 -369.73 893 345.25 19 14 Northside Rovers-315.46 -511.64 849 154 20 21 Qdog -416.05 -73.07 389 190 [b]Division 2[/b] [b][i]Rank Prev Name Perf/yr Perf/wk Bet Won[/i][/b] 21 20 FlashMan -441.54 -239.80 685 264 22 24 firefan2001 -475.79 141.25 702 657.5 23 22 Saeyddthe -567.63 -81.19 305 135 24 23 Scribe -724.60 -208.81 788 395 25 26 DamonEsquire -1,059.74 -176.15 658 310 26 25 Crewbasher -1,064.46 -358.26 1002 482 27 27 Jose L.
