The movers, The shakers
Leaderboard coverage every week.

• A Sentinel article on 23-DEC-05 is a year-end summary giving more hard data on the leaderboard

• Noticeable shake-ups in the leaderboard have been seen to include:
  • The 22-OCT-05 event at Clapham Common in London gave Oliver Keers and Ryandrew a slight edge with as-yet-un-released cards.
  • Emails sent to Firebox customers gave away free "copies" of a puzzle card, rapidly injecting many new users into the leaderboard.
  • The PCAG Earth Games gave points to top scoring teams
  • Five points may be earned for submitting a "Letter of the week" to the Sentinel
  • Ten points may be earned for submitting a "View From Earth" article to the Sentinel
