POLIAC'24 Auntum Season - Day 5

 ---- **The fifth round brought a lot of excitement, more shuffling in the standings, and surprising results, and this is just the beginning. We still have a month full of excitement ahead of us.** ----  ---- The competition in the POLIAC Golden League reached a climax after the fifth round. Several key decisions were made at the top, along with a symbolic breakthrough for one of the players. ### Key Highlights from Round 5: **The "Big Four" solidify their positions:** Four players – @danmaruschak, @ptaku, @benbow2017, and @racibo – maintained a perfect winning record, holding a full 15 points each: - @danmaruschak won the match of the round against @revlat35 and also achieved the best score of the round (27,822 steps), solidifying his position at the top of the table with the best step differential. - @ptaku also secured a decisive victory over @merthin, achieving his Season Personal Best (25,019 steps). - @benbow2017 and @racibo joined the ranks of the undefeated, recording their fifth win. **Continued problems for the defending champion:** @bucipuci recorded his fifth consecutive loss, falling to @manuvert. This is the worst start for the most decorated player in POLIAC history, who remains in last place with zero points. **The breakthrough of @manuvert:** It's worth noting the victory of @manuvert, who finally managed to break his losing streak after two defeats, by defeating @bucipuci. His score (27,657 steps) is his Season Personal Best (SPB), which bodes well for his return to form. **@erikklok's Victory:** @erikklok defeated @cezary-io, which allows him to stay in the chasing group with 12 points, the closest to the undefeated four. @revlat35 received the Best score among losers award for his 20,081 steps against the leader, confirming that despite the loss, he is maintaining a high level of performance. | Round 5 | 2025-09-25 | Results | | - | - | - | | @browery | @racibo | 10719 - 15366 | | @new.things | @fredkese | 24204 - 16782 | | @merthin | @ptaku | 11327 - 25019 (SPB) | | @manuvert | @bucipuci | 27657 (SPB) - 8241 | | @mushanov | @wahacoce | 14684 - 11167 | | @benbow2017 | @patif2025 | 20923 - 0 | | @itz.inno | @sk1920 | 15610 - 27796 | | @erikklok | @cezary-io | 17359 - 13369 | | @revlat35 | @danmaruschak | 20081 - 27822 | Best score in Golden League - @danmaruschak - 100 AFIT Best score among losers - @revlat35 - 100 AFIT ### Standings After 5 Rounds: | # | Player | Points | For | Against | | - | - | - | - | - | | 1 | @danmaruschak | 15 | 142461 | 105748 | | 2 | @ptaku | 15 | 114146 | 56631 | | 3 | @benbow2017 | 15 | 100500 | 40296 | | 4 | @racibo | 15 | 93819 | 62531 | | 5 | @erikklok | 12 | 82039 | 61349 | | 6 | @new.things | 9 | 117581 | 93713 | | 7 | @wahacoce | 9 | 98816 | 92097 | | 8 | @manuvert | 6 | 109879 | 101965 | | 9 | @sk1920 | 6 | 109027 | 98665 | | 10 | @revlat35 | 6 | 104356 | 101042 | | 11 | @browery | 6 | 94205 | 94496 | | 12 | @mushanov | 6 | 79803 | 95704 | | 13 | @merthin | 3 | 97491 | 124048 | | 14 | @cezary-io | 3 | 92125 | 111840 | | 15 | @fredkese | 3 | 87092 | 123447 | | 16 | @itz.inno | 3 | 73721 | 111648 | | 17 | @patif2025 | 3 | 39800 | 90698 | | 18 | @bucipuci | 0 | 44126 | 115069 | ### What's Next? The next round will bring us two incredibly exciting duels at the top that could determine the standings: - @racibo vs @ptaku: Two undefeated players will face off. One of them will lose their perfect record. It's worth noting that @racibo achieved the SGLB in Round 6 (38,295 steps), which signals his probable victory. - @erikklok vs @revlat35: A critical match in the battle for the top "five." - @benbow2017 vs @cezary-io: Another duel where the favorite must defend his position. We will also see if @new.things hands @bucipuci his sixth defeat. And @browery will fight to break his bad streak in a match against @fredkese. The excitement in the POLIAC Golden League is building every day! ---- #### GOLDEN LEAGUE **[Schedule](https://tournamentscheduler.net/schedule/MTY3MDgwODEwMTE)** #### **[Ranking table](https://tournamentscheduler.net/schedule/MTY3MDgwODEwMTE/results)** for GOLDEN LEAGUE ----  ---- The fifth round brought absolute dominance at the top of the table, and the player relegated from the Golden League, @silvertop, showed his best form of the season. ### Key highlights from Round 1: The absolute hero of Round 5 was @silvertop. The player relegated from the Golden League achieved his Season Personal Best (SPB) of 18549 steps and won his match against @elizabethbit. This score was also the best result of the entire round, for which he was awarded 100 AFIT. This victory catapulted him into the chasing group (12 points). ### Leaders Solidify Their Positions: - The clash of the undefeated @asia-pl and @flemingfarm ended with a decisive victory for the latter. @flemingfarm took 17710 steps, cementing his first-place position with a perfect 15 points. - @davidthompson57 also claimed his fifth consecutive win (10799 steps), maintaining contact with @flemingfarm and ensuring his own 15 points. - @caspermoeller89 and @actifit-godfish won their matches, joining the 12-point group and proving they are real promotion candidates. - @tom45p returned to his winning streak (15,477 steps), which is key in the fight for the top spots. ### Breakthrough at the Bottom The most important news from the bottom of the table is the breaking of the "curse of zero" by @pinkhub. He won his match against @a07 (who did not submit steps for some reason) and gained his first 3 points. @a07 remains the only player in the league without a single victory. ### Best Score Among Losers The award for the best score among the losers (100 AFIT) went to @jjprac (12321 steps), who had to concede defeat to the in-form @tom45p. | Round 5 | 2025-09-25 | Results | | - | - | - | | @pjansen | @davidthompson57 | 10264 - 10799 | | @homesteadlt | @ronnie10 | 11690 - 8899 | | @tom45p | @jjprac | 15477 - 12321 | | @krakonos | @caspermoeller89 | 10081 - 13273 | | @a07 | @pinkhub | 0 - 6399 (SPB) | | @asia-pl | @flemingfarm | 9315 - 17710 | | @actifit-godfish | @svanbo | 10273 - 2270 | | @alovely088 | @borniet | 6172 - 0 | | @elizabethbit | @silvertop | 7205 - 18549 (SPB) | | @atongis | @zubygeee | 11743 (SPB) - 0 | Best score in Silver League - @silvertop - 100 AFIT Best score among losers - @jjprac - 100 AFIT ### Standings After Round 5: The Top – 15 Points: **@flemingfarm:** Absolute leader, with the highest total step count (87881 FOR).
