Week 13 might be considered an unlucky week if you drop out of top spot. Not that the other 35 of you care (boo hoo).

Only one squad had a week to take a photo of and paste it into the ol' memory book. Upper V, Bitches! posted his worst week yet. TX Devils put it together to finish 3rd on the week. His best yet. Zizou Headbutters took it apart to finish 33rd on the week. His worst yet. Personal best overall ranks attained by ATL United, The Clitorati, and Middle Pocket Mares. Personal worst overall by En Fuego. From the There Really Is Hope File: ATL United was 64 points adrift after 6 weeks (but only down in 5th place, mind). In week 13 he has the lead. That's some solid upward progress. From the There Really Is No Hope File: Zizou Headbutters were 62 points adrift after 3 weeks (way down in 27th place, mind). In week 13 he is now 125 points off the lead. He keeps threatening (in words, not form) to break into the upper reaches but peaked with a two week residency in 16th spot after weeks 6 and 7. Nonetheless, from 27th in week 3 to 20th in week 13... that's some solid upward progress.

I'm only, what, 150 points off the leader. I can still do it...

Yeah, I'm a fighter, I'm a winner. Things are gonna change, I can feel it.

Fooker said: I should just quit now... What do you mean now? I didn't even know you were even trying! gspm: How dare you taunt me? Do you not know that you are tempting the fates, testing the gods, poking at a sleeping giant? I know you must take some comfort in beating up on poor little ol' me after your fall from the top, but let me assure you, you are enjoying a fleeting respite. For, once you end from your short breather, you shall be knocked down by my Zizou Headbutters! The rot stops now! The phoenix rises! Excelsior! Or not.

My layer-cake analysis for this week: Position: Point spread 1-4: (655 - 632 =) 23 pts - expect more hot action here! 5-13: (612 - 573 =) 39 pts - more action than a Mississippi whorehouse! - two teams tied for #13 15-22: (557 - 517 =) 40 pts - some movement expected here 23-32 (505 - 464 =) 41 pts - some movement - two teams tied for #32 34-36 (451 - 387 =) 64 pts - talk amongst yerselves

What the...?! I made Andy Johnson captain, and he was out w/ a hamstring injury. I'm doomed, I tell you. Doomed.

posted by worldcup2002 at 10:30 AM on November 25, 2006

Yup, with Johnson down it is shaping up to be another dud week. I may be appearing in the Who's Cold list sometime soon.

I hate it because it shows me how bad I am, three weeks in a row. Anyways, to format the table a little more clearly, how about left-aligning all the column titles and right-aligning the numbers in the following columns: #, Form, Wk 13, 12, 11, Overall?

posted by worldcup2002 at 12:36 AM on November 27, 2006

I've updated the formating for the next iteration. I have centered the cell contents - as with the other table - which makes it look much better. And I have added cell colours for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and last rankings each week. But the header stuff does not seem to do what I want. Will work on it.
