It says something about the strength of Alvin's times, that only one person has passed him since he stopped playing. Nevertheless, people are gradually closing, although every single person in last update's top 10 lost AF points this update. However, there was a breakthrough into the top 10 from 13th spot in the shape of Michael Smolen His 14 PRs were enough to gain him those vital 3 AF points. To break into the top 10 you only now need an AF of 19.59, which is the worst AF across any of the mariokart games and means just one thing. Too many people on the site do not have a full set of 64 times submitted to us. Only 252 players out of 575. That's just 43.8%.
It's been a quiet week in terms of positive movement. After Michael, we need to go all the way down to Alvin Le in 17th, who moves up two places with 9 PRs. Carlos Eduardo and Anis Taktak put some real work in over the last 2 weeks, beating 25 and 26 of their own times respectively, which is difficult to do at that level. They move up to 35th and 37th. Eric Hacksell breaks into the top 40, at 40 with some nice improvements.
Then for a long time nothing happens, until we reach the 60s and 70s. Here we have 2 mini-battles. The first between Michael van der Willik and Greg Coffino. Both these guys started in the 70s and moved to the 60s this update. The 2nd is between Jon Coppernoll who with 11 PRs moved up to 76th, and David Schiering, a site champion of old who dropped out of the top 100 recently, but who is working his way back up. He's now just a spot behind Jon in 77th. Enrique Walander is out on his own, scoring a 10 place gain from 100th to 90th. Good job.
The award for "Only person to beat every single one of his times" this update goes to Tyler McNell. His 64 PRs gained him 70 places as he moved from #166 to #96.

Honourable mentions to Tyler Layton, David Taylor, Kevin Massinon, Zack Weber, Salvatore Bellusci, Andrew Manning, Nicholas Hinkle and Andrew Howes who all had decent runs this week.

Movement
David McPartland extends his lead over the chasing pack with 14 new PRs and 3 new Site records. The gap in AF goes from 2 to 3 over Alvin in 2nd. Shaun Tanney closes in on 2nd place from 4 AF points to 2 with 22 PRs over the last few weeks, but Nick Meade isn't far behind. He improved half of his times this update and is practically even on AF with Shaun right now. Both of these could pass Alvin soon. Marc Bas made his mark on the top 10. He started just outside it on #11 but leapfrogged a whole bunch of people to finish in 5th at the end of the month. The only other mover in the top 10 was Alex Shoal who moved from 8th to 7th with 18 improvements to his times.

Quite a few people were active this update without actually going anywhere. It was more treadmill activity for the vast majority. Kevin Letailleur wasn't one of those though. He improve an impressive 42 of his times and moved up 6 places to 21st. Keiron Moseley was also on the move, as he passed 3 players to reach 26th. Andy Lundeen broke into the top 30, with a similar 3-place move. Breaking the top 30 is harder than ever.

Daniel Pascua got 18 PRs which helped his cause down in 48th place. It brought him up to 37th, a nice 11 place jump. Anis Taktak broke the top 40 from #49 and Dennis Deede is right behind him, finishing the month at #41.

Further down Sebastian Wimmer impresses by passing 9 players to finish #61
Leslie Wolf passes 9 to finish #67
Manuel Schmitz passes 6 to finish #71.
Franco Gubser passes 11 to finish #80, and
David Schiering passes 10 to finish #85
Fintan Kelly and Loic Guillain both break into the top 100 this update.

Moves of note outside the top 100 include #108 David Taylor who passed 17 people. #113 Daniel Boettcher who passed 18, #122 Jonas Knopp who passed 13, and #157 Andrew Manning, who passed a full 32 players.

Summer has arrived!

Well it has for Ireland anyway. wink

Movement at the top
David McPartland continues to assert his dominance, pulling out another 3 Site Records and bringing his AF ever further out of reach. The new shortcut on BC means that a lot of people gained AF by simply landing it whilst the inactive people fell backwards somewhat. Nick Meade took full advantage and passed Ben for 5th spot. Alex Shoal reclaimed his 8th place, pushing back Gary and Daniel. James Richards climbed a nice 3 places to place him 12th, and Alvin Le broke into the top 20, at 20, moving up a place.

The rest of the top 100
Andy Lundeen impressed this week by moving up 10 full places to 31st with a nice 15% AF cut. Kieron Moseley is our highest new entry, slotting in at #42. #47 Daniel Both and #54 Robert van Zanten made decent progress, moving up a few places. #70 Julian Grassberger, #78 Greg Coffino and #92 Thomas Thomas all climbed a couple of places too. Sebastien Wimmer and Jon Coppernoll though made the real moves, with Jon passing 9 players to finish #83, and Sebastien passing 13 to finish just ahead of Jon at #81.

Outside the top 100
Two players who were active last week, David Taylor and Zack Weber were both active again. Zack moved up 3 places to #133, but David leapfrogged him completely, gained 21 places and finishing at #132.Joshua Cook rounds up our activity this week with a 7 place gain to #174.

This is an update from March 30th -> April 11th
Movement
David McPartland puts a bit of daylight between himself and Alvin as he further secures his #1 spot. Everyone still has a bit of catching up to do to get close to this pair though. Brendan Payne grabbed record or two and is now closing in on Shaun for 3rd. Ben Hart also made a great move in the top 10, moving up from 7th to 5th passing Cole and Nick. Daniel Anderson is up one to 8th, passing Alex who moves back to 10th this update. But the most important move in the higher ranks this update was by Gary Marcoz. Gary breaks into the top 10 at #9, having been #18 last update. His 33% cut to AF was enough to propel him up into the big leagues.

Action outside the top 10
Leif Leopold gets us started with a nice 10% cut to his AF to move him up to 12th from 14th. Another cut like that will see him into the top 10. James Richards is our highest new entry, entering the chart at an impressive 15th place. Not far behind is Mickael Houston who joins the list at #20. Both of these players served to push down some of the more regular faces on our charts. Despite the 2 place drift, Stacy Needham managed to gain a place with a decent cut. He's up to 25th now. Daniel Pascua is up 6 full places, #49->#43. Anis Taktak goes one better and passes 7 players on his way to #53. Robert van Zanten completes a 10 place leap to climb to #57, whilst Brian Cook climbs a few places to stay just ahead at #55.
Dustin Enders, Leslie Wolf, Greg Coffino, Franco Gubser and Jon Coppernoll all deserve a mention for climbing a couple of places each from 60->100, and Michelle Homan finishes up at exactly #100, having started 8 places back at #108. Good work to everyone in our top 100!

The Forgotten
Because this site is usually much more active than any of the others, it became commonplace just to talk about those people in the top 100, but activity is slowing slightly, so after a year, it's almost time to include everyone. again. smile
So Zack Weber makes up some good ground, passing 9 players and he finishes in #136 this week. David Taylor rose very strongly with a 21 place gain to take him to #151, and finally Sean Jole completes a 22 place move to take him to #160. Those were the only 3 outside the top 100 to gain any ground this week.

Records
14 records to update you with over the last 3 weeks.
Shaun Tanney takes MMM by 0.080 with a1'16"814
Nick Meade grabs Brenda's TF flap record and takes it down to 34"459

A new dawn.

Shadow @ Monday, March 30th 06:29PM   [link]


There's been some nice activity recently, so I'll jump to the main news

New Champ
Congratulations to David McPartland. After over 200+ days dominance from Alvin, someone finally does enough to pass him for that #1 spot. For over half a year, people had risen fast and fallen at the final hurdle, but not this time. The title switches back across the Atlantic to the USA for the first time since Michael Fried's reign in August of last year. How long will it stay there? Only time will tell. Great job David!

Movement
Everyone in the top 20 was active this update, except for Lewis, Michael and Sam, but most of the movement was of the running backwards kind. Like when you're on a treadmill and it's just going faster than you can keep up with it. Only a few managed to excel despite the natural drag backwards. Alex Shoal was one. He broke into the top 10 for the first time, moving from 13th to 8th. Marc Bas also made some fine progress by getting closer to the top 10. He moves up 3 places from 15th to 12th. Leif Leopold climbs a further 4 places to finish in 14th spot. The last big move in the top 20 came from Gary Marcoz , who climbed an amazing 30 places to finish at 18th, cutting his AF in two in the process.

Further movement of awesomeness
Awesomeness outside the top 20 is defined by a 10% cut to AF, or a 5 place gain. Both or either. You can also be awesome by doing other stuff, but I likely won't talk about it. I'm just mean like that.
Emmanuel Debenest and Mike Zarro start us off by making very similar cuts and moving up at roughly the same speed. They both took over 8 points off their respective AF scores and finish in 21st and 24th respectively, honing in on the heady heights of top 20 fame.
Honing in on less heady heights is Andrew Tran . The top 30 is pretty high. It's like being shot upwards from a cannon. You could probably see everyone's house from up there. Anyway, Andrew got shot up from one hell of a cannon, because he was 58th before this update, and now he's 32nd! Brendan Santin has a definitely goal on his mind, and that's firstly to reach the top 50. He passed 20 people in total this update, including some old top 10 players. He's up from 73rd to 53rd. Anis Taktak did something similar. In fact he did almost the exact same, passing 20 players too. He finishes exactly 60th, with a lot more to come. Newcomer Robert van Zanten , joined 2 weeks ago at #103, but has very quickly moved up a full 36 places to #67 with a 25% cut to his AF.
Dustin Enders made a 2% improvement to his AF, but moved up 7 places to 65th. Greg Coffino and Manuel Schmitz moved up to 82nd and 83rd, passing 18 and 13 players respectively. Thomas Thomas passed 9 to get to 89th. Rounding out the top 100 are two players who broke into it this week. Sean Longwill came from 112th to finish 93rd, and Jon Coppernoll rose from 101st to 94th.

Site Records
The rate records are being broken is predictably slowing as they get tougher and tougher. Still though, we've had some good activity over the last few weeks.
James Pierrepont retakes the LC record he lost briefly to Ashley last update. It sits now at1'09"573
David McPartland starts his run of record breaking with MC lap. He takes it to 25"592
Daniel Pascua improves his own DKS time to 1'50"820
David McPartland grabs another lap record. This time at Daisy Circuit: 28"681
Leif Leopold gets on the record board by lowering the DDR lap to 34"165
David McPartland third lap grab is on Moonview Highway. 33"445
Keiron Moseley lowers his own Rainbow Road lap under 49. 48"988
Alvin van Asselt takes the YF lap down a peg to 18"629
David McPartland completes his set of laps by slipping fractionally under the MR lap record by 0.002. 31"802
Gordon Sproul asserts his dominance on SGB, by adding the lap to his 3lap. 25"799
Alvin van Asselt improves his own Delfino Square lap with a time of 39"231
C. Garrett improves his own Waluigi Stadium record with a new time of 1'52"167

March Madness

Shadow @ Tuesday, March 3rd 09:57AM   [link]

Well there's no actual madness, just the usual movement. So I'll get right to it. smile

Movement
Right at the top, Shaun Tanney makes an almost imperceptible move closer to Alvin. Alvin's AF dropped slightly from 6 to 6.9 whilst Shaun's improved from 12 to 11. The gap is still pretty huge though. Another sign of the dominance waning is signalled by newcomer to the top 10 David McPartland. David picked up some more SRs this week and is now leading the field with 6 records, whilst moving from 12th to 5th overall. #8 Ben Hart and #9 Daniel Anderson put in a very decent effort, both moving up one spot.

#12 - #16 (Smolen, Shoal, Schmidt, Bas and Sebeny) were all quite active and moved up in one giant clump. Any of the 5 could break into the top 10 soon. Leif Leopold passed Sam for #18, Alvin Le broke into the top 20 at #20 from #23, and Kevin Letailleur made a nice move from #27 to #22.

Then it's pretty quiet for a little bit. Paul Tanney played again after a long while absent. His improvements brought him up from #35 to #32. Joshua Leutz made some very healthy gains, taking out 6 people by going from #44 to #38. Andy Lundeen gets his name on the board for the first time at a very impressive #40, whilst rounding out movement in the top 50, Dave Phaneuf improves from #47 to #43.

Best of the rest
Best of the rest this week is Daniel St-Laurent whose improvement this update sees him passing 48 players in total. He now sits at #76. Vincent Zee passes a double digit number of players, moving from #97 to #85. Tom Norton breaks back into the top 100 in style with a 19 place cut to finish #87. Franco Gubser does the same, dispatching 20 players, and finishing at #92.

Honourable mentions to: Jon Coppernoll, Sean Longwill, Nicholas Harvey, Joshua Cook and Andrew Manning who made some decent moves outside the top 100.

Site Records
I keep watching that domination percentage to see if we'll ever be comfortable near 40% without dropping back down to 30%. Keep pushing it guys! These records will not reflect times submitted in the last day.
Ashley O'Hara starts us off this week by beating the long standing LC record. He brought it to (as of yesterday) 1'09"667
Sidney Pena won the battle for MMM between a few players. He took it down to 1'16"894
Ben Hart, meanwhile, took the lap to 24"075
Brendan Payne was active on TF, taking it below 1'52 to 1'51"715
David McPartland took both CM records. The course to 1'58"262 and the lap to 37"910
Tom Norton however, hit back with a record on Daisy Circuit. This is now at 1'30"480
Nick Meade solidified his hold on MT with a course time of 2'19"480
Kyoya Fujiwara made significant improvements to DDR: 1'52"774
Marc Bas lowered that lap to 34"319
Brendan Payne was also in action at Bowser's Castle. Taking the course record with 2'23"362
Alvin van Asselt played some GV2 lap, and took the record by 0.03 with 16"689
C. Garrett improved his own WS record with 1'52"382
Alex Shoal is the king of Desert Hills now with 1'36"282 and 30"003
David McPartland struck again on GCN MC with 29"140
Vincent Schuttevaar beats Jaws on the Garden with 2'00"763
And Daisuke Oota improved his BC time to 2'33"345
Good work everyone. Keep chasing those records!

Will you be my karting valentine?

Shadow @ Monday, February 16th 06:07AM   [link]


This has been a largely quieter week, with many of the top players not playing and only 5 people in total improving their AF by more than 10%.

Movement
With a very minimal move, Shaun Tanney passes Brendan and moves to 2nd. The gap to Alvin is still as vast as ever, and no change seems in sight for quite some time. With the most significant move in the top 10, Cole Gilbert gains 4 places to move to 4th. He's now within shooting distance of that ever changing 2nd place.

Mickael Smolen is up 2 to #11 this week, hoping to break into the top 10 soon. Alex Shoal climbs 3 places to #13 after a good week, and Alvin Le also climbs 3 places to finish 23rd.
