Are you alluding to the fact that they're the ones ranking not far in front of the official rank =;

Very astute observation from nearly 400 miles away =D>

Aren't we all :lol:

But I'm sure they're easy enough to find online if you're that interested 8-[

Couldn't summon up the effort, personally :oops:
