Subject: List of Players with the most top 5 best streaks.

I was curious if any player had more top 5 ranks for best streak, than me. So, I copied the top 5 players for each of the 80 variants (70 regular, plus 10 winnable), and then sorted by player nics. 5 x 80 = 400, but there were 444 lines of data, due to a lot of ties. There would have been a bunch more, but I left out the 182 players tied for 2nd in 4x4, and also the 56 players tied for 4th in 6x2.

Then I gave 25 points for each variant: 1st place (10), 2nd (7), 3rd (5), 4th (2) and 5th (1), and I adjusted the scores for ties.

I apologise in advance for any errors! The table below lists the 66 players with 10, or more, points. There are 11 columns showing a variant, and the score for that variant. Then there is the number of "top-5-finishes", the number of "1st-place-finishes", the "Total-score", and the Player's nics. I was surprised by the large number of top 5 streaks that are more than 2 years old!

CONGRATULATIONS to huffy, who came top of the list, with 10 top 5 finishes (including 3 1st place finishes), and 65.0 points!

Oops, I forgot to mention that in NO CASE were multiple nics taken into account! I think that some players would have placed higher in this table if their multiple nics had been combined. Re. ties: For example, in 4x5, there is currently a 10-way tie for 1st! Therefore, each of those 10 players only got 2.5 points in 4x5. This means that, in the table above, it is sometimes difficult to guess from the score, what the rank was.

Very interesting - thanks for putting in the work to do this. Yep I guess 10x2 is the only one where I've gotten into the top 5
