The Canny Koganbot Teen Of Pop Counterrankings

[koganbot]

Here are the Cash-And-Carry Koganbot Teen Of Pop Counterrankings as of May 18, 2007: martinskidmore stumbles but braisedbywolves fails to capitalize, as the Knew It Already Rule put him on the sidelines for the match. lockedintheatti and infov0re move into position for a final shot at the prize. Impressive late-season run by jeff_worrell leaves him just out of contention. Fans of lisa_go_blind, braisedbywolves, lockedintheatti, and byebyepride wonder if the inevitable mixtape reevaluation will result in bonus points for their heroes. (To remind you how this works: a track scores 0 points if I knew it already, 1 point if it makes it onto one of my "Listen To These A Lot" playlists, and 3 points if it goes on a "Put This On A Mixtape" playlist. Tracks can jump or fall at any time until League play ends.)

martinskidmore 10 points (Irma Thomas, Hairy Diamond, Ultraviolence, Mahlithini & The Mahotella Queens, Go Mental, Amayese)

epicharmus 1 point (Priscilla Paris)

Here are the actual Chart Championship standings: koganbot 22, lisa_go_blind 21, jeff_worrell 20, skillextric 16, lockedintheatti 16, epicharmus 15, poptasticuk 13, blue_russian 13, martinskidmore 13, infov0re 11, byebyepride 7, piratemoggy 7. The order I put the tied contestants is meaningless, since I don't know exactly how Tom is working goal differentials. Mitya has played his final match and now gets to be judge. Jeff, Lisa, and I have clinched the three playoff spots, but order of finish is very much to be decided. Knowing what I submitted, I wouldn't put my money on me to finish atop the division.
