Folyami ratings monthly updates

[Duplode]

Here is the Folyami update after ZCT282! After an eventful first race of the new season, personal best ratings were attained by Argammon (+2 atop of his leading position), Frieshansen and Spoonboy (moving in tandem towards the 2000 points mark). Sizable gains also include those by race winner Alan Rotoi (+36, now nearly back to the 2200s), Overdrijf (+46, biggest increase among ranked pipsqueaks) and Shoegazing Leo (+33, continuing a long-term trend of steady improvement). This race also saw afullo, KyLiE and Usrin returning from breaks. Below is the updated evolution chart:

The rankings have been updated for ZCT283! Argammon and Frieshansen have reached personal best ratings in this round. Another highlight is Alan Rotoi being back into the 2200s range, not having dropped points in any race from ZCT275 on. There is also plenty of action going on below the surface: though HerrNove, MiDiaN and Raskolnikovik still need a few more completed races to enter the rankings, they are already making good progress and stacking up points. Below is the updated evolution chart:

Here is the ZCT284 update of the rankings! The main news in this round is that Argammon has tied Ayrton's long-standing record of 2351 points, and is now very close to taking the lead in the historical ranking! Besides Argammon, Frieshansen has also reached a personal best, while satanziege has returned to the current ranking. Below is the updated evolution chart:

The rankings have been updated for ZCT285, and this update is a momentous one!

After 7185 days, the historical ranking has a new leader! With his ZCT285 victory, Argammon has now overtaken Ayrton, with an all-time record of 2365 points. That is a major achievement, congratulations Argammon! 🎉

Another very significant result was by KyLiE, who has reached the 2000 points milestone! KyLiE is the first pipsqueak to newly reach that since Alan Rotoi on ZCT241, halfway through the charge for his first title in 2021. It's also worth mentioning that Frieshansen is a whisker away from the 2000 mark, reaching 1999 points at the end of this round. Looks like we'll see fierce competition ahead! 

There's also a new entrant in the rankings: MiDiaN, who, on an impressive run of three consecutive podiums so far, lands right behind KyLiE and Frieshansen at 1988 points! That is the highest new entry score ever, beating another longstanding record from Ayrton (ZCT052, 1967 points).

(By the way, reviewing the data for these stats made me catch a mistake: I had missed the tie for third place on ZCT062. That means Renato Biker's score after that race, which is the third highest new entry score behind MiDiaN and Ayrton, is 1961 rather than 1951. While the ripple effects of that correction have long since dissolved into rounding error, they do mean Ayrton's former overall record score is 2352 rather than 2351, and so Argammon and Ayrton weren't rigorously tied on the historical ranking at the end of ZCT284. Anwyay, they are not tied now either  )

Personal best ratings were attained by Argammmon, Frieshansen and KyLiE. Below is the updated evolution chart -- also, it feels fitting to have a look at the full history chart now and relish the moment!

Congratulations @Argammon!

Thanks @Duplode and @KyLiE! This achievement means a lot more to me than an eventual second Zakstunts championship title. Actually, obtaining the latter wasn't my goal when I entered this season.

I guess I will distribute some of my hard-earned points to other pipsqueaks sooner or later. (where is the laughing emoticon when you need it)
