It is good to see many people picking up the pace in the event. I will be interested to see if anyone has a sudden jump in production or if it will be a slow increase. 

I have to say that I have missed this feeling, watching the ranks, hoping I can edge out those around me while scraping for whatever hardware I can get my hands on to push as many points as possible. Don't forget to watch your temps and keep yourself hydrated. 

Miker07 continues to sit relatively unchallenged on the throne with 66.50 million points, Ben_F wouldn't need to find all that much more power to topple the new potential king, he is sitting in second place with 52.30 million points. Trailing behind by around 7m points Justaphf remains in third position with 45.79 million points. If they would like to advance any further up the rankings they will either have to pony up a good chunk of hardware or hope that those before him lose some steam in the coming days and weeks. Mxyzptlk has only gone and pushed themselves a rank up, taking the fourth spot with 27.02 million points. It will be interesting to see if they can maintain that position or if Favebook, who has 26.28 million points in fifth, can close the gap and leapfrog back to his opening day place. 

Starman57 remains in 6th place with 21.37 million points, the top five is slowly pulling away and if they are looking to take on those above them. vsteel in 7th isn't looking very safe, with 19.93 million point it wouldnt take much for Pezui to mount a challenge with his 19.51 million points. dmynerd78 who is in 9th place with 16.09 million points, should also be looking over their shoulder. The new gatekeeper Alex atkin UK has given the order 'more steam!' They leapfrogged LazyDev and has taken 10th place. An interesting note, Alex slightly outperformed dmy over the last 24 hours. It's certainly something for 9th place to keep an eye on next update. 

So, as you can see it remains exciting at Folding Month 2021, some participants are still finding their feet and gaining pace while others seem to be looking like they need to put more coal in the boilers. How are things looking overall right now, with only two days of data its impossible to even begin to predict how things will look when the guns fans fall silent and we once again stand truly as a unified team. One thing is certain, there is going to be trials to come. Who can take the heat, who will push their hardware and who with be victorious when the dust settles. Only time will tell.
