The only prediction for a faster time was also successful. Also a special mention to Sasuke for making the competition a tight one.

Day4 update.

Finals
WHJ 2.04
MDT 67.59
M5k 12:58.85
W3kSt 8:57.84
W800 1:58.04
M400H 47.42

After no change in ranking yesterday, we now have some movement with Dave making the big move into 1st place, replacing DentyCracker who has dropped to 5th. Atticus remains steady in 2nd.

I've added the previous rank in (brackets) for easy reference.

It's interesting to note that the WCRecord score has been declining each day as more stadium events have taken place and reducing the impact of the brutal WMar.

Ooh, my charge up the table has started!

El Toro, thanks for doing all that.

El Toro, thanks for doing all that.

It's amazing what a brown paper bag stuffed full of cash can do! Just ask Dave.

Day5 update.

Finals
MPV 5.97
WJT 66.56
M800 1:42.34
M200 19.83

Atticus hits the lead for the first time, with the top 3 from yesterday, all trading places.

Welcome to Jshapco with his first and only prediction. Unfortunately, his optimism on the result makes it likely he'll languish at the bottom end of the table.

The WCRecord score declined to 55.0 from 55.6, showing the overall WC standard is improving.

We are now halfway through the WC in terms of days but not events. The number of daily finals will now ramp up, offering more opportunities to elate and depress!

Atticus remains in 1st place, having maintained a score of less than 20 for the last four days.

Sasuke makes his first appearance in the top 3, moving up two places to evict Dave from the podium.

The WCRecord score is now at 54.0, it's best yet, showing the general trend to improve over time.

[Atticus]

Atticus remains in 1st place, having maintained a score of less than 20 for the last four days.

Well, isn't that about right; I'm winning something I didn't even know was a competition. Meanwhile, in the one I am intentional (Dutch), I seem to be treading water.

Anyway, thanks for all your work on this, El Toro, no matter how it turns out. It is interesting to learn about how our expectations are, or not, met.

[18.99s]

48.14! Who could have ever guessed that!

[wamego relays champ]

48.14! Who could have ever guessed that!

OneWay came pretty close (48.35)

[ATK]

Well since almost everyone assumed SMU would win, OneWay was pretty much on the money with his prediction!

OneWay holds onto second place and DentyCracker moves back into the top three.

We are now over halfway on number of finals with 6, 7 and 7 coming in the next three days.

Edit to add: I just realised that the number of events completed and number remaining didn't add up to the total required.

After checking, I realised that I hadn't added the W50kW result from Day2.

I've now added that event and it hasn't made much difference in rankings. I'll publish an "official" day by day result sheet after the champs to correct the record.

[Atticus]

Not to be an ingrate, and I do like winning things, but I think you should delete the Marathons and Walks (which I did not pick), because the winning times were literally unpredictable.

No need to worry about that, given there were no rules stated. I'll slice and dice the results, so everybody can take their preferred view of the results.

Day9 update.

Finals
MSP 22.91
WTJ 15.37
W1500 3:51.95
W5000 14:26.72
W4x100 41.44
M4x100 37.10
MMar 2:10:40

No change in the top three, but OneWay breaks the 20 point barrier to challenge Atticus.

Even with the men's marathon today, the WCRecord score drops 4.5 points in one day to hit 50. This reflects the increasing quality of performances later in the week.
