Creativename holds on to the top spot, but everyone else trades places today. The ever-dangerous Kawaiifan moves up two into second place, right behind creative. PeaceOut drops one spot to third, and Camden also drops one spot to fourth. We lose one former champ, but he's replaced by another one - The n00b Avenger takes Xuxon's place on the leaderboard while Xuxon drops to 7th today.

This contest's top 10 has been extremely competitive... right now we have 3 former champions (kawaiifan, n00b Avenger, and two-time winner Xuxon), another guy who came 5 seconds away from winning a contest (Salient), and two of the strongest and most consistent competitors over the years (Camden and creativename), plus several other people with very good records and one guy who's new this contest.
