Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Sept. 20, 2026, 7:31 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Roughly same as last year. More losses you have the farther down you go, however not fully up to that standard and head to head with same amount of losses maters a lot.

I'm adding the Plus or Minus numbers from last week's positions this week
