Never-the-less despite my low finish of 396 I went up 7 places to 60 in the overall rankings!! This is very strange as when I finished in the 20s I dropped 20 places I expect it must be due to the points that drop off, I haven't worked that out yet but it's all good fun and adds interest (and annoyance) of the events.

You had a bad Wimbledon last year too, so neither Wimby 2008 or Wimby 2009 generated enough points to be part of your best 7 scores, which means that your points total didn't change.

It's still a bit strange that you went up, because generally (e.g. in the 100-200 range) an unchanged points total produced a loss of 10-20 places because more people played Wimbledon this year than last year, so more points were being handed out. However, when you're in the top 100, it can be more unpredictable - you must have just been in an area where lots more people were dropping points than gaining them.

Your 20 place drop last time was a special case - you did very well in Rome last year as well, so your net change from Rome was less than 100, but (and this is the 'special case' bit) you had also done very well in Monte Carlo last year and because we decided not to run a pick 'em for MC this year, those points came off at the same time.
