Things change so quickly there that I don't think ANYONE's position
is guaranteed for long.  For example, Team Art Bell seemingly came
from outta NOWHERE (and with eight *thousand* members!).

We can see the top 100, but we can't see who's flying up the ranks
ready to break through.

If you got it, flaunt it, eh? ;)

Not necessarily.  By having separate accounts, the faster machine can
maintain the faster time per unit, rather having a single *slower* overall
average completion time.

It depends on what's important to the individual participant:  total units
completed, or average time per unit.

Either way results in the same stats for the team.

Just my ha'penny's worth. ;)
