Judges' Contest 8th Place

As I alluded to last week, this contest seemed to be nearing the stage of a runaway, and this week only further confirmed it with NM Monokroussos once again having the closest ranking to solidify his already large lead. That, along with his nearest competitor FM Young being tied for having the furthest ranking this week, now makes it especially unlikely that anyone can catch him in the waning weeks. On the other end, FM Adamson seems to be running away with last place in once again getting (though tied this week) the furthest ranking. This is where we stand.



1st Place: Dennis Monokroussos (20, 13, 19, 18, 12, 17, 7, 11, 16, 14, 10, 9, 6): 32 Points

2nd Place: Ron Young (20, 19, 13, 9, 7, 18, 14, 17, 11, 12, 15, 10, 1): 44 Points

3rd Place: Alex Shabalov (20, 12, 16, 15, 17, 10, 18, 9, 13, 19, 4, 14, 11): 48 Points

4th Place: Jennifer Shahade (18, 20, 8, 12, 17, 19, 5, 14, 16, 7, 10, 15, 11): 50 Points

5th Place: Robby Adamson (20, 12, 19, 16, 17, 6, 18, 10, 5, 4, 14, 3, 15): 57 Points


and the two non-judges,


Arun Sharma (20, 19, 18, 11, 12, 15, 5, 9, 13, 17, 16, 4, 6): 43 Points

Braden Bournival (19, 20, 9, 17, 7, 4, 18, 14, 15, 16, 12, 11, 8): 49 Points


See if NM Monkroussos can manage to win this contest with five weeks still left in it in next week's update!
