Commentary
1) So, what is up with Cook Island? Basically, their win over BDC helps them to a ridiculous extend. It forms three separate Beatloops for them, getting rid of losses to the 'Nites, the Gangsters, and the Kava Sharks (BDC defeated all three of those teams). Now, the MTD win forms CIC=>MTD=>MUV=>CIC, blowing up CIC's last Beatloss (and hurting MTD and MUV in the process). Thus, without anyone to hold them down, they spring toward the top of the Rankings. Also, because they were able to loop all of their losses away through only one win, they are left with a lot more Beatwins than normal. With this inflating their BeatPower, CIC is able to get nearly to the top.
As always, please ask questions and point out anything that looks buggy!
