As we wrap up the six months of kdice competition under the current scoring rules, and the likely end to the Elo system, I want to give recognition to all kdice players of superior skill, not just those in the top 25. At the end of August or when Ryan resets the scoring system (which could happen in the middle of the month like it did in February) I will make a listing of TAPL scorers in four categories:

1. Top TAPL scorers among players who began playing kdice in August.
2. Top TAPL scorers among players who have been playing kdice since July.
3. Top TAPL scorers among players who have been playing kdice since June.
4. All others.

The TAPL is explained in the comment at my profile page. The TAPL and this competition have no official endorsement from Ryan.

To qualify for the competition, you must have played at least 35 games for Category 1, 70 games for Category 2, or 105 games for Categories 3 and 4.

To enter the competition, make a post to this thread. I will reply with a computation of your current lifetime TAPL. As close as possible to the end of the month or to the scoring reset I will work up the lifetime TAPL's for all the contests and award certificates. I don't have fancy graphics capabilities like Ryan has for the trophies, but I will issue a certificate that looks like this:

5684 ∫ 1st.∫∫∫

To discourage phoenixers, I will put a cap of 21% on all the monthly seventh-place finishes.
