Year to Date Deviation from 12/31/13 7.040%

You made a huge move up!

Technically you're in 4th place because the deviation from 12/31/13 really doesn't count as a contestant.

ETA: In fact, I'm going to change how the updates are shown so that the 12/31/13 deviation is displayed at the bottom of the list and is not shown within the contestants' results.
