I don't think my opponent (Joophy?) is playing. 76-0 up. Hope he/she is OK. Must have been running prev if 1096 points and 5 wins in a row? :-) G

:) G - take a look at his training log. I suspect you're being lulled into a false sense of security - nothing overt to worry about on the health front it seems

Interesting Andy, he only seems to have done Sat Sun for last 2 weeks. But decent size cycle and run or walk on both days. If I'm 150-0 up by Sat morn, could I still lose it by Mon morn?! :-) G

That would seem a fair summary - just need to make sure you have at least a 4-5 point lead in most of those 150 squares ;)

****Tediousness warning****

USB, I don't know. I tried to spot some logic and found an odd thing:

Fetch's matching algorithm treats the order of people with equal ranking scores in a different way from the ordering of the same people in the Ranks page. My guess is that both orders are just random and the actual rank of people of equal points is meaningless. We could ask Fetch but I'd rather he didn't waste his time like I keep doing today, apparently.

USB/DS -I think that whenever you look at a tie on the rankings - you see your name 1st - ie if the 3 of us were tied, then we'd all see ourselves 1st - that seems to happen when I've looked, but maybe I'm wrong? Not sure on the logic beyond that

There was another suggestion a while back that behind the scenes the scores might be 1078.1, 1078.2 etc but they are all just displayed as integers so they look like the same score even if they are not quite...

Hi McG, that was my suggestion way back. However, my spreadsheet shenanigans earlier today and my looking at ranks just now both suggest to me that the decimal places are not retained and everything is rounded to whole numbers.

USB - I think Snail might be right. I’ve just had a look at the rankings and of the people on 1048 you show up 3rd, behind RaggedyRunner and ... someone whose name I can’t remember :-)
