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

There will be no post next Sunday as I am at Steem Fest!

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!

The top 100 places produced 825 top level posts this past week, and self-voted 195 times - less than once every 4 posts, impressive!

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

Top of the league in her own right this week, and two 1st place prize payouts in as many weeks. Do we have a new queen of engagement? 😃

@steemflow rises out of the chasing pack to take 2nd place this week - excellent work!

@smithlabs, often a good performer, takes 3rd place this week, just pipping 'part-time' @janton in 4th.

Excellent engagement levels also from @veryspider, @chireerocks, @melinda010100, @glenalbrethsen, @cicisaja, @matkodurko, and @kaerpediem 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: @macoolette, @riverflows, @scrawly, @sistem, @themanwithnoname, @chekohler, @cryptoandcoffee, @puravidaville, @roxy-cat, @raj808, @mountainjewel, and @erikah.

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 @crypto-econom1st!
