Glasgow Caledonian's 'Crazy Brick Movers' remain in first. Manchester's 'Legend Never Dies' remains second. The gap between them is a negligible 91 points but it was only 21 in the last round. GCal will be claiming they are stretching their lead, but it isn't a very secure one and one slight misjudgement by GCal or some inspiration from Manchester could easily wipe this gap out in a single round.
Glasgow Caledonians success continues as their team 'JIT Engineering Company' have moved up to third from fourth replacing Manchester's 'Greenfield' who slip to fourth. It seems like we have a Glasgow Caledonian v Manchester competition.
Glasgow Caledonian's 'It takes four' remain in fifth place but NUS's 'Blue Skies' break into the top six by moving to sixth place from seventh replacing Minnesota's 'UMN Gopher'.
The gap between first and sixth is now 661 points and looking like a challenge to overcome. The range of improvement for the top six is 10% to 16%.
It's time for a serious repacking of strategy to determine how to improve your ranking.

Top six stay the same but some shuffling with three teams improving their place and three slipping a little.
Improving are Glasgow Caledonian's Crazy Brick Mover now leading in first up from second, Mancheste’s Greenfield up to third from fifth, a good surge and Glasgow Caledonian's It Takes Four up to fifth from sixth.
Slipping a little are Manchester's Legends never die losing first place but only to a close second place. Glasgow Caledonian's JIT Engineering Company down one from third to fourth and Minnesota's UMN Gopher 2 slip two places from fourth to sixth.
The points gap between first and sixth has widened a little to 445 but still bridgeable perhaps in two rounds. The percentage improvement is down a bit with both teams in first and third increasing by 15%.
Still all to play for. Focus and detailed decision making needed. Good luck to all teams.

While Manchester's 'Legends never die' keep hold of their top position, GCU's 'Crazy Brick Mover' move up to second from third, GCU's 'JIT Engineering Company' climb to third from sixth, Minnesota's 'UMN Gopher 2' slide down to fourth from second, Manchester's 'Greenfield' drop down to fifth from fourth and GCU's 'IT takes four' jump up to sixth from ninth. NUS's 'Blue Skies' slip out of the top six from fifth to seventh.
At this stage of MERIT we expect commotion of a great range in the percentage improvement. The ranking isn't stable, and there will be more disorder to come, but getting the decisions balanced will improve ranking.
The 294 points gap between first and sixth is not an enormous difference and can be easily bridged. While the leaders from Manchester improved by 21%, GCU, now with three in the top six, seem to be consolidating their effort with improvements of 25%, 23% and 28%.
All the teams are still learning and all are still developing their strategy. How they now play their hand is the key.
