Hall of Famer <WinKing> leads in 3 categories and is in second in one. <Penguincw> is worried about another quadruple gold winner and is trying to send a virus to knock <Winky> offline. <GE> continues to lead in the Bonus Ranker. Nobody understands why <lostemperor> keeps making random comments, but apparently he's doing something right, as he is in line to medal in all 4 categories.

Moves Ranker (# of 1st place UNDER/OVER) - Through <Round 8>

Score,UserID

<WinKing> continues to lead 3 Rankers. <GE> continues his stranglehold on the Bonus Ranker and is working on a new record for point differential between Moves Ranker and Bonus Ranker. <Penguincw> has promised to examine the archives to see what that record is.

In other news, <juan31> has forsaken the contest to join in the anti-Trump protests in Washington DC. <lostemperor> didn't make any random comments but still holds down the silver medal position in 3 Rankers. <OhioChessFan> is only 75 points behind the leader in Moves+Bonus Ranker. A consortium of contestants is working on a plan to derail <Winky> and will meet later today to figure out the details. The tournament organizers graciously called for a rest day to help them in their nefarious plot.
