The daily team top 5 seems to have some real regulars this season, and three of them finished up there today. Haste2 and Dekar's Drunkadelict Armadillos had the top score, their 5th time landing here. Team Better Bettors (FastFalcon and kaonashi1) was second, also their fifth time in the top 5 this contest, while Team mvp's was third for their 6th top 5 of the contest. Team Klonoa Alliance was fourth - no one gained ground in the sibling rivalry though, since ray and amy both had exactly the same score despite completely different predictions. Team One-Two Punch (th3l3fty and yazzy) was fifth.

Once again, the top of the team leaderboard has no action - the only change today is in 5th place, where Team Drunkadelict Armadillos displaces the Happy Happyists. They've been playing musical chairs for a while now, so I wouldn't be surprised to see Team Happy Happyists back up there again soon.
