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

This past week I've been wrapped up with @steemmonsters and work at the Bar. Now my excuse is out of the way, let's see how everyone else has been doing....

Would you like to enter the leagues? Make a comment below (this is 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)
Number of people spoken to (PS)
Comments - replies to replies - depth > 2 (C R)
Comments - length in characters (C L)
Witness votes (W) (for those proxying witness votes, your total is always 30)
Up-votes to others (V)
Up-votes to different authors (U V)
Self-votes - a small 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, @smithlabs! 🏆

We have a new champion! @smithlabs has reached the summit after many weeks of top 10 finishes, well done!

@janton, busy with yard work, has opted out of prizes at present, but still takes 2nd place - very commendable stuff!

@glenalbrethsen moves down a place to a still superb, 3rd position. And a new name picks up the 3rd place prize money due to @janton declining rewards, well done @anggreklestari!

Excellent engagement levels also from @melinda010100, @veryspider, @chireerocks, @macoolette, @themanwithnoname, @brittandjosie, and @cicisaja 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: @delishtreats, @gillianpearce, @scrawly, @lynncoyle1, @cryptoandcoffee, @nomadicsoul, and @chekohler.

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 @mightypanda!
