It has been a while since I have updated the Ragged Aces site (since game 5) so I am happy to say that I have gone through and gotten all the stats in place for the Roster of Aces, the Top 10 page, and the Championship Standings.
Some trends that have been going on the last 5 games:
- Tyler held the top spot in the Player of the Year standings for 5 straight games (from #5 through #9). He slipped out of 1st by 3 points to last year's PoY, Clark in game #10. Rich M. and Jordan are within striking distance if they can accumulate enough big games over the next half of the season, but this is currently a two horse race.
- Tyler has held the top Bounty spot since game #6 despite going bounty-less in two games. Andrew and Rich M. are within one game of 3 or more bounties away from jumping into #1 but there is a long way to go this season and I'm sure the top spot will change a number of times before July.
- Rich M., Sue S., and Jordan have all made significant improvements in their statistics this year and are looking like possible Most Improved candidates. Garth, Mike, Allan, and Andre are on the positive side of things this season as well.
Congratulations to:
- Rob for becoming an Ace by placing 2nd in Game #8
- Andrew, Tyler, and Garth for getting their 4th chips, only one top 3 finish for any of you to become and Ace!
- Scott A. on getting his second chip
- Aaron L. and John F. for getting your first chip
Game #11 is tonight in the snowy weather and we're still expecting 8-10 players. Can Tyler take the #1 spot back from Clark? Can Joe, Clark, or Jordan bounce into the bounty lead? We'll see how things shake out after tonight...
Finally, don't forget to let me know if you plan to play on New Year Day, this is going to be a huge game and someone will win the 2009 HORSE trophy at the end of the night. So far I have 13 out of 24 slots filled with Clark, Tyler, Jordan, Christine, Mike, Sue S., Andrew, Scott A., John, Peter, John F., Jeff Brown, and Brian Toland.
See those playing in Game #11 in a few hours!
