Looks like we're back from our 14 hour downtime.

Match #57 Results:
Mario 59.79%
Samus Aran 40.21%

In what was supposed to be the biggest match of the contest, Mario cruises to an easy victory (and I have the feeling I'll be typing that phrase a few more times before the end of the contest), winning nearly 60/40 against Samus. The predictions were nearly evenly split, 35 for Mario and 33 for Samus. The consensus was Mario with 50.37%, and the average score was 32.54.

Best Five Picks:
1) Lopen - Mario 61.43% (+48.36)
2) Darkash - Mario 56.92% (+47.13)
3) Ed_Bellis - Mario 55.00% (+45.21)
3) yoblazer33 - Mario 55.00% (+45.21)
5) CaptainFlufflez - Mario 54.96% (+45.17)

The top 5 picks were also the five highest picks for Mario. Lopen was first, as the only person in the field to overshoot Mario's margin of victory. This is his fourth top 5 of the contest. Darkash takes second for his 10th top 5 of the contest - the record in one contest is 11, held by Haste2 and Dilated Chemist in SpC2k4. With 9 days to go, Darkash is currently on pace to tie or break that record. Ed_Bellis ties for third, for his second top five of the contest and second in a row. Yoblazer is the other person tied for third, and this is his first top 5 of the contest even though he's near the top of the overall standings. CaptainFlufflez takes fifth, getting his 7th top 5 of the contest.

Current Leaderboard:
1) Xuxon - 2508.68
2) Master Moltar - 2502.84
3) Haste2 - 2496.80
4) StopPokingMe - 2495.87
5) creativename - 2491.48

Xuxon widens his lead to 39 times its previous size! He now leads Master Moltar by 5 points. Master Moltar, Haste2, and StopPokingMe all move up one spot, but all lose a little ground on Xuxon due to their conservative picks. Creativename drops down to fifth due to picking Samus. Off the leaderboard, there is a fair amount of movement - the biggest gainers are yoblazer, who moved up 6 spots to 6th place, Heroic Viktor, who moved up 7 to 7th, and Yesmar, who moved up 6 to 14th.
