Notes

Well, credit where credit's due. Congrats Yeller, as you are the new face of Mellow Yellow (MYL)'s funnel endurance performances that none of us expected. It is for this reason (and the fact that the Minty Maniacs (MNT) placed 5th) that the computer reached his point total of 60 pts. Not bad, especially since, you know, it's his 2nd highest score this season...

As for the contestants, you didn't do half bad. A lot of players flocked towards the Raspberry Racers (RSP) and the O'rangers (ORA), and that choice also paid off, as they placed 3rd & 4th, respectively. 'Tis a shame that the top 2 teams were... how do I put this... completely overlooked? Yeah, seems about right. Just look at the tables above. The least popular pick wins the event. Who'da thunk it.

Unfortunately, where the computer finds joy, we find sorrow. 6 players lost to the computer by less than 3 points. 33 strikes were given out. And... eh, forget it. I'll tell you more after we look at our top 10%, which also happens to be the top 10, for the first time. Bring forth the victors!

Damn, this one just hurts to read. Losing yaks and Harper in the same round, both with 55 points...

= CHECKPOINT: BRONZE MEDAL THRESHOLD =
Congrats to everyone who's still alive. You've managed to do something that the Green Ducks (GDK) have never done in their career: win a bronze medal! As a reminder, you need to reach Event 10 in order to upgrade to a silver medal (unless you've already clinched one...).

Here are some quick facts:
- 16 players are currently 6 for 6 against the computer, of which 7 have never earned a blue or purple mark.
- 194 strikes have been given out, of which 36 have been removed.
- Our current leader, Irixib (594 pts) has earned 310 more points than the lowest surviving competitor score, held by A (284 pts).
- Speaking of Irixib, he has just earned 3 consecutive blue marks, just 1 shy of the record set by Viridian during the Marbula One S3 pool.
- Although the highest single-event score is obvious, the lowest single-event score was also just set: 19 pts, by Rapidly, in this very event.

I'm not sure whether the computer classifies his picks as "doing terribly", but it's better to stay on high alert as we head into Round 07.
