Judges' Contest 4th Place

Well the basic group agreement on the most recent game really did little to change the standings of the Judges' Contest which obviously is not good for any who were hoping to have a miracle comeback to overtake FM Monokroussos as mathematically he's guaranteed to take a share of the top spot in the overall contest (only WGM Shahade has a chance to tie him if she gets the three remaining rankings exactly correct, and the game he ranked 1st winds up getting 3rd). Here's exactly how it looks.


1st Place: Dennis Monokroussos (20, 13, 19, 18, 12, 17, 7, 11, 16, 14, 10, 9, 6, 3, 15, 2, 5): 49 Points (Rankings Left: 1, 4, 8)

2nd Place: Alex Shabalov (20, 12, 16, 15, 17, 10, 18, 9, 13, 19, 4, 14, 11, 8, 3, 2, 7): 58 Points (Rankings Left: 1, 5, 6)

3rd Place: Jennifer Shahade (18, 20, 8, 12, 17, 19, 5, 14, 16, 7, 10, 15, 11, 13, 9, 6, 4): 60 Points (Rankings Left: 1, 2, 3)

4th Place: Ron Young (20, 19, 13, 9, 7, 18, 14, 17, 11, 12, 15, 10, 1, 2, 8, 16, 6): 64 Points (Rankings Left: 3, 4, 5)

5th Place: Robby Adamson (20, 12, 19, 16, 17, 6, 18, 10, 5, 4, 14, 3, 15, 13, 1, 9, 7): 75 Points (Rankings Left: 2, 8, 11)


and the two non-judges,


Arun Sharma (20, 19, 18, 11, 12, 15, 5, 9, 13, 17, 16, 4, 6, 3, 2, 10, 7): 59 Points (Rankings Left: 1, 8, 14)

Braden Bournival (19, 20, 9, 17, 7, 4, 18, 14, 15, 16, 12, 11, 8, 13, 2, 1, 3): 64 Points (Rankings Left: 5, 6, 10)


See if I can officially announce the winner next week!
