Welcome to this weeks Engagement and Curation leagues, kindly sponsored by the awesome @curie!

@curie have renewed their 200 STEEM / 8 week sponsorship of the Engagement League - Thank you!

They are a witness, and one of the few community wide, inclusive curation teams. The other is @c-squared, who have joined forces with our witness, @steemcommunity. More on this on the links at the foot of this post.

To enter the leagues drop a comment below (for a lifetime membership - you will need to ask to be removed)

The league tables are reset each week and so any time is a good time to join!

On your marks, get set, curate!

The Engagement League - Sponsored by @curie

This league is not based around financial rewards and relates to engagement.

Everyone currently on my master list has a chance here - including those powering down or dealing in delegations over the past couple of weeks.

I've used some metrics (which is the fancy way of saying that made up some numbers) relating to:

Posts (P)
Comments - number of (C)
Comments - replies to replies - depth > 2 (C R)
Number of people spoken to (PS)
Comments - length in characters (C L)
Witness votes (W) (for those proxying witness votes, your total is always 30)
Upvotes to others (V)
Upvotes to different authors (U V)
Self-votes - a (getting smaller each week) minus score for this one sorry! (S V)

Firstly, if you are placed in the table above then you among the top 25% of the league entrants!

Congratulations to this weeks Engagement League winner, @janton! 🏆

@janton tops the list again with almost twice as many comments as anyone else, over half of his 1149 comments are made at level 3 or lower in a comment thread. Great job!

@smithlabs is in 2nd again and his out on his own chasing the leader. Looking at comment text and number of comments, it looks like some of these replies were pretty chunky. Nice work!

@brittandjosie take 3rd this week, and still managed to produce 21 posts - impressive!

Excellent engagement levels also from @delishtreats, @steemflow, @glenalbrethsen, @veryspider, @gillianpearce, @scrawly, @lynncoyle1, who will all be receiving some STEEM this week.

Those without a self-vote (from their main account at least! 😱) and placed in the top ranks will also receive a little STEEM. These people are: @bengy, @erikah, @chekohler, @melinda010100, @cryptoandcoffee, @mhm-philippines, @themanwithnoname, @blanchy, @niallon11, @marblely, @audreybits, @oliviackl, and @roleerob.

Well done everyone!

The Curation League / Rewards based

Please find the rules in a previous post.

The end column is what I think is a genuine indicator of how well you are financially working the curation game with the tools, including vested Steem Power, that you have at your disposal.

Congratulations @steemitri!
