Leader Board Update as of 08/08/09

// August 14th, 2009 // Announcements

Last week, there was some confusion as to whether there were 24 or 25 leader board members due to a tie for the last spot. We were able to clear that up, and this week, instead of our usual 25 top eaters on the board, we’re having 26 because of another tie at the final slot.

I’m amazed at how frequently the landscape of the leader board changes weekly; however, the leader, Kyle “The Beast” De Guzman has held the spot for two weeks in a row. Will he still be the top dog this time around or has he been thrown off his comfortable chair at the top?

Let’s get head straight to the meat, people.

At 26th and 25th place, with a staggering time of 0:01:44, we have Ronald “The Sting” Martinez and Alvin Thompson “Tommy Gun” Tan. They close follow new leader board comer Eduardo “Anaconda” Nariz with 0:01:43, at 24th place. John Paul “Crystal Ball” Cristobal creeps up past Anaconda at 0:01:41 to land 23rd in the boards this week.

Our first ever four-way tie belongs to Ariel “Doc” Samson, Alvin “Double A” Alunday, Alejandro Villarino “Long Name” Romy Sarmento, and Donn “Dinosauric” Dono at 0:01:40. They take up spots 19 to 22. They’re quickly followed by a tie at 18th and 17th, held by Christopher “Monkey Eating” Demaguila and Michael “Jaws” Samonte, at a clock of 0:01:37. 16th spot goes to Alfredo “The Mayor?!” Lim at 0:01:36.

Ricardo “Senyor” Hernandez occupies the 15th and 14th places with a time of 0:01:35. He shares it with Yasker “Super Dragon” Yu at 0:01:35. A surprising jump to 0:01:29 sneaks in at 13th and 12th spots and are held by Bryan “Kung Fu” Lim Ang and Edwin Paul “Turbo” John. Argie “Strongman” Samson brings up the 11th spot at 0:01:28.

Here we go with the top ten eaters of the week.

At 10th, Agapito “Teenage Mutant” Pag-Ong clocks in at 0:01:25. Tie for 9th and 8th places has a time of 0:01:24 and are held by Paolo Jonas “Eating Rage” Paguio and Elmer “The Hunter” Soriano. Rommel “El Luchador” Luacra has the 7th spot at 0:01:20. That’s an impressive jump- 4 seconds less than the previous spot. 6th place belongs to James “Super Spy” Pierce, at a time of 0:01:19.

At the edge of the top 5, we have Leopoldo “Black Hole” Quinto, Jr. with a time of 0:01:18. This guy’s been around for a while, and it seems he’s been improving. John Paul “El Macho” Aragoncillo holds the 4th spot at 0:01:16. The 3rd and 2nd spots belong to Rey “Gun” Mahilum and newbiw Jowel “Laser” Lazaga, with a great time of 0:01:15.

And the king of these boards again this week is Kyle “The Beast” De Guzman! Living up to his name, his time of 0:01:07 has yet to be beaten!

Now, I’ve been hearing things about getting 30 people for the semi finals instead of 25. Until I hear official confirmation, I don’t want to make any announcements. For now, all I know is that there are 25 finalists. Please come back here to see any updates on this if ever. For now, though, this is your leader board. Congratulations to the guys who are in it and to those who aren’t, you still have about a couple days to get in. You can do it!

    the store manager is the one who told me that there would be 30 semifinalist…she then showed me the updated list but that was last week with 2:00 as the lowest in the 30…just ask the store managers as they do meetings regarding the contest…they are now updated with the latest tally boards everytime

    @kawawang cowboy

    I think I get the same weekly list. There is some confusion as to the purpose of a certain color highlight in the list. I’ve asked the people giving me the list about what it means, but so far, they’ve told me to just keep it at 25. If it does have 30 people in the finals, I really won’t hold that back so don’t worry. I got you guys covered.

    Hi Bim. DTI mechanics requires us to have 25 semifinalists, but we are putting up a list of the Top 30 and giving this to the stores, just in case other semifinalists don’t show up. This way, the others don’t need to lose hope- someone may back out, and you may just still be in the race to win P500K!

    @armi: does it mean that the 26th-30th rank should be there as well so that if some participants will not show up on time, he/she can replace them?

    Yeah, I guess that’ll be the most likely scenario. I will post the date, the time and the area of the events.

    I’ts now August 18 and it’s already past 6 PM… I guess I did’nt make it. The contest mechanics states that qualified contestants will be informed through phone and email on August 18, 2009… 6:00 pm.

    don’t lose hope yet Ryan…i called one of the store managers and said that the tallying isn’t complete yet since a whole lotta contestants joined last august 15 so the main office is still checking it…expect it later today or probably tomorrow for them to call up…but i guess “the Beast” need not to worry…he’s the fastest eater yet!
    Cheers!

    Until now I haven’t received any confirmation if I’m qualified or not. It’s either I’m not really qualified or 7-11 is having difficulties in tallying the results.

    Sorry, guys. Hectic week. Okay, so the latest leader board is still up in the air. I don’t have the data just yet. Word is that there were a ton of new entrants so it’s taking a while.

    Also, for those wondering about the semi finals, please check the latest post.
