POLIAC'24 Auntum Season - Day 23

 ----  ###### **[Full Schedule](https://tournamentscheduler.net/schedule/MTY3MDgwODEwMTE)** & **[Ranking table](https://tournamentscheduler.net/schedule/MTY3MDgwODEwMTE/results)** for GOLDEN LEAGUE ---- The twenty-third round of the Golden League, a rematch of Round 7, brought another spectacular result that shook up the standings. The leaders strengthened their positions, and the fight in the middle of the table entered a critical phase, with only 11 rounds remaining. ### Sensations and Key Decisions: Unexpectedly, the highest score of the round was achieved by @ptaku (41,408 steps). This is his new season record, allowing him to join the narrow group of players who have exceeded 40k steps. His rival, @sk1920, was certainly not happy with this turn of events. As consolation, @sk1920 received the Best Score among Losers award. @danmaruschak handled @racibo and strengthened his position as the leader, but he cannot claim a certain championship as there is still over a week of competition left. In the Bulgarian Derby, @benbow2017 confidently defeated @mushanov, thereby strengthening his second-place position. The advantage of the top two over the rest of the rivals is now significant. Group Fighting for the Podium: @new.things, @manuvert, and @wahacoce (all 45 pts) form a strong group fighting for a podium spot. Defending champion @bucipuci secured another crucial victory over @patif2025. With 24 points, he is escaping the relegation zone and now has a 3-point lead over his rivals. @browery caused another surprise by defeating @wahacoce, which is a key victory for him in the fight for survival in the league. | Round 23 | 2025-10-13 | Results | | - | - | - | | @wahacoce | @browery | 20677 - 21615 | | @patif2025 | @bucipuci | 18694 - 38550 | | @sk1920 | @ptaku | 28584 - 41408 (SPB) | | @cezary-io | @fredkese | 23315 - 21061 | | @danmaruschak | @racibo | 19833 - 15544 | | @revlat35 | @new.things | 23630 - 29283 | | @erikklok | @merthin | 5852 - 10554 | | @itz.inno | @manuvert | 20527 - 23673 | | @benbow2017 | @mushanov | 20832 - 14174 | Best score in Golden League - @ptaku - 100 AFIT Best score among losers - @sk1920 - 100 AFIT ### Standings After Round 23 | # | Player | Points | For | Against | | - | - | - | - | - | | 1 | @danmaruschak | 60 | 561260 | 447627 | | 2 | @benbow2017 | 57 | 519136 | 350150 | | 3 | @manuvert | 45 | 541108 | 439329 | | 4 | @new.things | 45 | 486560 | 397843 | | 5 | @wahacoce | 45 | 464353 | 382182 | | 6 | @ptaku | 42 | 391640 | 397463 | | 7 | @cezary-io | 39 | 473407 | 436215 | | 8 | @racibo | 39 | 422970 | 398915 | | 9 | @merthin | 33 | 506922 | 450706 | | 10 | @fredkese | 33 | 441003 | 485799 | | 11 | @sk1920 | 30 | 369704 | 425185 | | 12 | @browery | 27 | 461773 | 498478 | | 13 | @erikklok | 27 | 414961 | 445378 | | 14 | @bucipuci | 24 | 442312 | 406562 | | 15 | @revlat35 | 24 | 424770 | 526092 | | 16 | @itz.inno | 24 | 394069 | 465332 | | 17 | @mushanov | 21 | 328374 | 412004 | | 18 | @patif2025 | 6 | 152377 | 431439 | ### What's Next?

Did @tom45p hit a "slump"? He had managed well against the best, but in his match against @krakonos, he secured only a minimal victory, which allowed him to maintain 2nd place. @actifit-godfish secured a victory, drawing level on points with @flemingfarm, and with 54 points, they both still have a chance for promotion. The same can be said for @davidthompson57. Thanks to a record-breaking score, he defeated @asia-pl. Together with @silvertop, he keeps his promotion chances alive. POLIAC debutant @borniet finally gained recognition. He received a consolation prize of 100 AFIT for his best score among losers. | Round 23 | 2025-10-13 | Results | | - | - | - | | @borniet | @pjansen | 12763 - 13128 | | @silvertop | @svanbo | 16428 - 2998 | | @zubygeee | @flemingfarm | 0 - 14302 | | @atongis | @pinkhub | 0 - 0 | | @elizabethbit | @caspermoeller89 | 12354 - 16186 | | @alovely088 | @jjprac | 22111 - 12315 | | @actifit-godfish | @ronnie10 | 11674 - 9747 | | @asia-pl | @davidthompson57 | 4687 - 19709 (SPB) | | @a07 | @homesteadlt | 0 - 12130 | | @krakonos | @tom45p | 10272 - 11201 | Best score in Silver League - @davidthompson57 - 100 AFIT Best score among losers - @borniet - 100 AFIT ### Standings After Round 23 | # | Player | Points | For | Against | | - | - | - | - | - | | 1 | @caspermoeller89 | 60 | 377629 | 236088 | | 2 | @tom45p | 57 | 407852 | 254196 | | 3 | @flemingfarm | 54 | 368150 | 249303 | | 4 | @actifit-godfish | 54 | 349723 | 235626 | | 5 | @silvertop | 51 | 331433 | 220335 | | 6 | @davidthompson57 | 48 | 278648 | 192842 | | 7 | @alovely088 | 45 | 306939 | 243194 | | 8 | @jjprac | 39 | 269805 | 226446 | | 9 | @ronnie10 | 39 | 261275 | 249827 | | 10 | @elizabethbit | 39 | 238874 | 240887 | | 11 | @pjansen | 36 | 269156 | 245832 | | 12 | @homesteadlt | 36 | 245793 | 218794 | | 13 | @atongis | 28 | 194849 | 209428 | | 14 | @krakonos | 27 | 212919 | 218040 | | 15 | @asia-pl | 27 | 195906 | 234338 | | 16 | @borniet | 21 | 133511 | 204216 | | 17 | @pinkhub | 13 | 69820 | 211386 | | 18 | @svanbo | 12 | 64608 | 234904 | | 19 | @zubygeee | 0 | 0 | 223348 | | 20 | @a07 | 0 | 0 | 227860 | ### What awaits us today in round?
