Another train wreck in the WPL. Lots of late drama. But for one player, crisis became opportunity. Shaydee's prescient pick of KCW on the road landed not only Play of the Week, but also the Weekly Cup. This big week also moves him into positive territory at #7. 2nd goes to Nutty, who got no games wrong. Not very nutty at all. 3rd place goes to our new overall leader Quango, who only got CLB wrong, and kept bets low on HOU and CLB. Coming in 4th is Northside Rovers, who's up 7 spots, while our final top fiver is DCUSA who breakks into div 1. These five were the only ones to stay positive in this week of gloom. Way to go! *FAQ and your remaining bets are available on the WPL status page.* ____________________________________________________________ Play Of The Week: Shaydee, for the bet of 88 on KCW over CLB Weekly Cup: 1 Shaydee 34.158 2 Nutty 26.626 3 Quango 18.138 4 Northside Rovers 14.536 5 DCUSA 3.302002 Code: [b]Division 1[/b] [b][i]Rank Prev Name Perf/yr Perf/wk Bet Won[/i][/b] 1 2 Quango 244.86 18.14 719 561 2 1 KCWiz 225.07 -44.14 447 237 3 4 jlo 103.07 -45.79 675 437 4 5 BulaJacket 102.47 -43.63 689 457 5 3 alf 56.09 -137.10 674 352 6 7 matzek73 29.42 -38.47 552 358.5 7 11 Shaydee 17.33 34.16 465 334.5 8 9 rpi-fan -12.68 -14.96 520 334 9 6 BenC1357 -30.41 -151.21 665 326 10 8 FlashMan -44.12 -84.71 702 449.5 11 10 dred -45.63 -45.01 517 337 12 12 Greywacke -58.18 -19.03 37 0 13 13 IASocFan -106.10 -54.81 607 389.5 14 17 Nutty -119.62 26.63 575 441.5 15 16 dredgfan -131.61 -26.92 543 334.5 16 15 tab5g -139.44 -36.11 483 277.5 17 14 Saeyddthe -231.77 -171.16 772 406 18 21 DCUSA -231.86 3.30 533 380.5 19 19 lemons -236.47 -33.25 142 45 20 20 Crewbasher -316.23 -96.57 590 330.5 [b]Division 2[/b] [b][i]Rank Prev Name Perf/yr Perf/wk Bet Won[/i][/b] 21 23 AMERICANS SC -345.94 -33.90 503 323 22 18 OGx3 -356.84 -192.11 571 204.5 23 25 firefan2001 -367.79 -11.98 408 272.5 24 22 WestLooper -373.18 -119.01 1013 695 25 32 Northside Rovers-401.83 14.54 524 373 26 31 NoSix -450.11 -40.41 771 562 27 28 themrs. -465.96 -72.41 315 113.5 28 27 roggie15 -514.54 -129.25 831 501 29 33 Qdog -517.47 -60.35 665 437 30 30 jackrock -562.86 -158.52 274 0 31 35 paulo -576.29 -32.09 690 458 32 29 Jose L.

I love trainwreck specials... you know why? Lots of Inverse Karma to go around, and this week certainly caused some upheaval in the table, thanks in large part to Jose Burciaga, Cobi Jones, and Andy Dorman. Exactly 1/3 of the participants (16) got IK scores, 5 of whom scored at least 200. But once again, we have a new winner this week, and no surprises here: it's a consistent finisher in the weekly IK race and a current resident of Div. III. What is a surprise is just how badly andrewt14, this week's winner of the "Wait, they're actually playing MLS games right now?" edition of the Inverse Karma Award, smoked his competition. The nearest competitor was a full 291 points behind him, as Andrew somehow went up two spots with a somewhat ghastly perf to claim the new IK record of 531.3. Congrats, andrewt14, and here's hoping you can keep giving the fates a Purple Nurple next week.
