Standings after Leg 3 of Fibonacci Stakes VII

Headed into the far turn, Wise Orangutan (24 points) is five lengths ahead of second place The Strategist (19 points). Third place is currently shared by four Analysts at 15 points each. The complete Standings are here.

Leg 4 may award up to 15 points (6 *base* plus 3 *bonus* per Fibonacci Pick). Leg 5 may award up to 21 points (6 *base* plus 5 *bonus* per Fibonacci Pick). To remain in contention in Leg 5, Analysts must be within 21 points of the leader after Leg 4. Currently, Wise O. has a 21 point lead on two Analysts, so they must keep pace or outperform Wise O. in Leg 4.

Scenarios

Wise O. cannot Win this week. The Strategist is too close to be eliminated. He can eliminate other Analysts,however, so we will consider the possible point situation. He has a unique set of Picks from Leg 3 (Browns, Steelers, Seahawks) so no Analyst is Boxed Out unless Picks are changed (his or others).

With a 15-point Trifecta (*base* Trifecta with 3 Fibonacci), Wise O. could reach 39 points. The minimum to remain in contention will then be 18 points after Leg 4. Analysts in third place would then need 3 or more points (*lame* Trifecta or better), while the Analysts at the rear will need 15-point Trifectas, to remain in contention.

With a 12-point Trifecta (*base* Trifecta with 2 Fibonacci), Wise O. could reach 36 points. The minimum to remain in contention will then be 15 points after Leg 4. All Analysts in third place would remain in contention regardless of points earned in Leg 4. Analysts currently below 15 points, will have to make up the difference with a combination of Trifectas and Fibonacci bonuses.

With a 9-point Trifecta (*base* Trifecta with 1 Fibonacci or *lame* Trifecta with 2 Fibonacci), Wise O. could reach 33 points. The minimum to remain in contention will then be 12 points after Leg 4. Those Analysts currently at 11 points or fewer, will then need at least a *lame* Trifecta with 1 or 2 Fibonacci bonuses.

If Wise O. scores less than 9 points, he may give up the lead to another Analyst who reaches 30 to 31 points. Thus, Analysts should aim to reach 9 to 10 points at a minimum to remain in contention for the Win (or Place) in Leg 5.

Standings after Week 11 of Analyst of the Year VII

Scenario

Wise O. (7 Trifectas) has had three straight Trifectas and will be going for a fourth this week.

If he gets the fourth straight Trifecta, Roxy Trot (1 Trifecta) will be eliminated (6 Trifectas behind with only five weeks to go). Also, KateTDid and Sponge Mom (2 Trifectas) must also earn Trifectas to remain in content for the Win (to be 5 Trifectas behind with 5 weeks to go).

If he does not get a Trifecta, Roxy Trot must earn a Trifecta to remain in contention for the Win (to be 5 Trifectas behind with 5 weeks to go).

The Marathon of the Ass has another change at the top of the leaderboard!

With his third Trifecta in a row, Wise Orangutan (7 Trifectas and 28 Correct Picks) moves into sole possession of first place! Former AoY Champion The Strategist (6 Trifectas and 27 Correct Picks) in second place and Big Tuna (6 Trifectas and 25 Correct Picks) in third place trail by one length.

Jimmy V (5 Trifectas and 25 Correct Picks) remains in fourth place, one length in front of B-Reezy (4 Trifectas and 25 Correct Picks) in fifth place and Craft Brew (4 Trifectas and 24 Correct Picks) in sixth place.

In seventh place, Woody (3 Trifectas and 23 Correct Picks) moves into a tie with Atwork (3 Trifectas and 23 Correct Picks) Little Tuna (3 Trifectas and 22 Correct Picks) in ninth place and The Bookie (3 Trifectas and 19 Correct Picks) in tenth place.

Sponge Mom (2 Trifectas and 23 Correct Picks) and KateTDid (2 Trifectas and 20 Correct Picks) remain in eleventh and twelfth place, as well as Roxy Trot (1 Trifecta and 18 Correct Picks) at the rear, are facing elimination from the AoY Win in Week 12!

Fibonacci Stakes VII

Down the backstretch, the The Test of the Computations was a real puzzler as only one Analyst earned a *base* Trifecta!

Adding 10 points in Leg 3, Wise Orangutan (24 points) moves to the front, five lengths ahead of The Strategist (19 points), his nearest challenger in second place.

At 15 points each, Craft Brew, Sponge Mom, Woody, and Little Tuna are in a four-way tie for third place. Currently, it is too close too call: Sponge Mom has tiebreakers on Craft Brew and Little Tuna, while Woody has an edge on Sponge Mom but is in a statistical tie with Little Tuna.

Rounding out the middle of the field, B-Reezy (13 points) moves up the board into seventh place, two lengths in front of Big Tuna (11 points) who falls into eighth place.

In the back of the field, Jimmy V (8 points) is in ninth, KateTDid climbs into tenth place, The Bookie (6 points) drops one spot to eleventh position, followed by Atwork (3 points) in twelfth over Roxy Trot (3 points) in thirteenth place on second tiebreaker (2 Correct Home Team Picks).

Standings | Analyst of the Year VII | Leg 10

Analyst of the Year VII

The Marathon of the Ass is living up to its name after the leaderboard is shaken up for the second week in a row!

With the only Trifectas in Week 10, former AoY Champion The Strategist (6 Trifectas and 25 Correct Picks) and former marathoner & current ass Wise Orangutan (6 Trifectas and 25 Correct Picks) move into a tie for first place!

They overtake Big Tuna (6 Trifectas and 24 Correct Picks) in third place by a head. Jimmy V (5 Trifectas and 24 Correct Picks) in fourth place is stripping down to his skivvies for the dramatic finish to the seventh AoY Championship! Either can retake at least a share of the lead with a better week than the current leaders.

In the midfield, B-Reezy (4 Trifectas and 23 Correct Picks) in fifth place continues to lead Craft Brew (4 Trifectas and 22 Correct Picks) by a head. Both remain in serious contention for the coveted jewel of sports analysis.

In seventh place, Atwork (3 Trifectas and 22 Correct Picks) has a strong portfolio of Correct Picks, but will now need 7 Trifectas in a row to tie his record setting pace from last year! In eighth, Woody (3 Trifectas and 21 Correct Picks) remains in solid contention, trailed by Little Tuna (3 Trifectas and 20 Correct Picks) in ninth place and The Bookie (3 Trifectas and 18 Correct Picks) in tenth place.

Sponge Mom (2 Trifectas and 21 Correct Picks) and KateTDid (2 Trifectas and 18 Correct Picks) remain in eleventh and twelfth place, with Roxy Trot (1 Trifecta and 17 Correct Picks) looking for a wing and a prayer!

Fibonacci Stakes VII

Coming out of the far turn, the The Test of the Computations is shaping up!

With the only *base* Trifectas in Leg 2, The Strategist (14 points) and Wise Orangutan (14 points) are running neck and neck (currently, no leader on tiebreakers). Big Tuna (11 points) in third place and Craft Brew (10 points) in fourth place trail closely if the lengthy, five-Leg Crown Race.

In the middle of the field, five Analysts have solid starts with 8 points each: Jimmy V, B-Reezy, Sponge Mom, Woody, and Little Tuna. Little Tuna has 1 Correct Home Team Pick, but Sponge Mom has a head-to-head tiebreaker over her, so there is no clear candidate for fifth place at this time.

The Bookie (6 points) heads the back of the field in tenth position, followed by Atwork and Roxy Trot (3 points) in eleventh place, and KateTDid molting with 0 points.

Analyst of the Year VII

Entering the near turn of the Marathon of the Ass, we have our first change of lead during Season VII! In the first eight weeks, Jimmy V set the pace for the field. But, a former Analyst of the Year (in a state of mind to streak!) earns his 3rd straight Trifecta!

Big Tuna moves into sole possession of first place with 6 Trifectas and 22 Correct Picks. It is a precarious lead, as he is followed by one length in second place by Jimmy V, The Strategist, and Wise Orangutan (that must be an error!), each at 5 Trifectas and 22 Correct Picks (as well).

Leading the middle of the field B-Reezy (4 Trifectas, 21 Correct Picks) and Craft Brew (4 Trifectas and 20 Correct Picks) give chase in fifth and sixth place, respectively. At 3 Trifectas each, Atwork (21 Correct Picks) is in seventh place, Woody (19 Correct Picks) is in eighth place, Little Tuna (18 Correct Picks) is in ninth place, and The Bookie (17 Correct Picks) is in tenth place.

Trailing with 2 Trifectas each, Sponge Mom (19 Correct Picks) and KateTDid (17 Correct Picks) are in eleventh and twelfth place, while Roxy Trot (1 Trifecta and 16 Correct Picks) is poised to fly like an Eagle the rest of the season!
