Slow Climbers

▲ Climbing

Nothing cleared the floor this week.

▼ Fading

Nothing cleared the floor this week.

Smoothed win rate over the last 4 weeks, as a fitted trend in points a week: at least 0.25 a week, no single week against the trend by more than 0.5 points, and 100 or more games in every one of those weeks. Four even steps outrank one jump. A regulation's first 3 weeks have too few readings to list anything.
