2018 Unit 430 Masterpoint Races as of December 8 (end of 2018!)

Brought to you by Python (the programming language)!

New technology: a program in Python that inputs a 10,800 line text file of sectional, unit game, mentor-mentee game, and IMP League results, along with a 12,000 line list of District 19 players, works out masterpoint awards and computes the masterpoint races!

The three lists below include the following trophy races:

LIST ONE:

The Phil Wood Trophy goes to the overall masterpoint leader in a calendar year, who wins free plays to all open sectionals in the next calendar year. 2018 Winner: David Waterman
The Edie Bonnell Trophy goes to the masterpoint leader in a calendar year among female players, the winner receiving six free plays to open sectionals in the following calendar year. 2018 Winner: Yue Su
The Phil Wood Under 200 Trophy goes to the player with the most masterpoints who began the year under 200 masterpoints, the winner receiving six free plays to open sectionals in the following calendar year. 2018 Winner: John Lai
These three trophy races include only points won at the four open sectionals of each year. You'll be listed if you are in the top 100 of the Phil Wood race, or the top 50 of the Edie Bonnell race, or the top 30 of the Phil Wood under 200 race.
The Leo Steil Trophy goes to the overall masterpoint leader in a calendar year among players 65 or older. In my younger and crazier days I would actually ask the Phil Wood leaders and try to determine who was old enough. When enough people looked at me like I was some sort of degenerate I decided to stop doing that, and now we simply ask eligible players (born in 1952 or earlier for the 2018 contest) who are in contention to quietly claim the prize, which is six free plays for open sectionals in the following calendar year. 2018 Winner: (awaiting claims)

LIST TWO:

The Monthly Unit Game Trophy goes to the player with the most masterpoints in Monthly Unit Games (usually the first Saturday of each month, 7pm at the VBC), the winner receiving free plays to all Unit Games in the following calendar year. 2018 Winner: Kai Zhou
There is a B flight of the Monthly Unit Game Race which goes to the player under 2500 points with the most points in Monthly Unit Games. 2018 Winner: Yue Su
There is a C flight of the Monthly Unit Game Race which goes to the player under 1000 points with the most points in Monthly Unit Games. 2018 Winner: David Yu
If there is a tie, the tied players share the prize. No player can win more than one prize, but can win parts of prizes from different flights, as long as the parts add up to no more than one prize.

LIST THREE:

The Rocket Rookie Race tracks all Unit-run events and counts only masterpoints won by non-Life Masters playing only with other non-Life Masters, with two exceptions: 1) Mentor-Mentee game masterpoints count for non-Life Masters even if their mentor is a Life Master, but only count at 50% rounded up: an award of 1.11 would add 0.56 RRR points to a non-Life Master's total, and 2) You become ineligible to win RRR points when you become a Life Master, except that the Flight B/C IMP League continues to count even if you became a Life Master during the event. The prize is (you guessed it) six free plays for the next calendar year at open sectionals.
The difference between the RRR and the Phil Wood Under 200 is that the under 200 race is usually won by a newer player playing with a Life Master in open games. The RRR smokes out the non-Life Masters most ready to move up into the open game! 2018 Winner: Qiang Hua

ALERT: to be eligible to win a prize for any race (including the Unit ones mentioned here, and the ACBL-wide ones some of us track every night...) you need to be a paid up member of the ACBL by the time the race ends. (We're OK if you joined mid-year.) However, for year-long races with a masterpoint limit, what counts is how many you had at the start of the year.
