Rankings Roundup

So in a week where there was lots of points to be
learnt there is not much movement at the top end
of the rankings. JujulCactus remains at number one
for a second week, but its still close with Fire_Fox
just three points behind at number two.

Montreal winner Denjis climbs up to their best ranking
of #13, while other big movers include slavicpower, heart,
James, Jamie RS, kolan, wimbledonwinner, Andiyan and Karat0589.

Three new players enter the rankings. Drake1980 makes
an impressive debut at #39 while Uranium and *Milkshake*
enter at 54 and 53 respectivley.

So Q-Ball takes a break for a while due to the Olympics
but it will be back on the 8th of August with Cincinnati
so join the game then!

:woohoo:

Thx guys! :D

Congrats libre 83 :)

I might as well retire from this. :o
